joiedecombatHanging out with my brother, watching X-Men. The past few days have been pretty relaxed. Good stuff.
I got to go to McGuire's again - sort of an ersatz Irish pub with various things to recommend it, including some fairly authentic food, live performers, and the fact that they do their own brewing. The first time I was there, we got a table near the stage and got to watch a guy who looked a lot like Sean Bean sing Irish ballads and the occasional James Taylor song, plus Shel Silverstein's poem about Noah and the unicorns. This time I got to try the root beer, which like the actual beer is brewed right there, and served in the same mugs they serve the beer in. Excellent. The shepherd's pie is good too, and they serve about three meals' worth in one order.
Yesterday we went to the beach. Gorgeous beaches around here. Sparkly white sand and water clear as glass, pale green in the shallows and aquamarine farther out. Waist-deep in it, I could see the little fish swiming around my ankles. I also saw what I suspect was a small shark, a number of yards away. Kinda cool, a little freaky.
We've also been watching a lot of DVDs. I showed my brother the complete run of Cowboy Bebop, and he dug it. I'm proud. We also went through the first season of CSI and several discs of Futurama.
Have not really done much with the job hunting yet, but I've got another week and a half, so I'm being pretty laid-back about it.
Still no way to charge up my cell phone, but I check my email at least once a day. Mail is welcome! I'm feeling kinda out of touch, despite being able to log on fairly regularly.
More later, maybe.
