Went to the Flat Earth 1st Anniversary shindig on... Monday, I think? Yes, Monday. With Jenna and Ben and Jess.

Ben was ridiculously lucky, or, well, lucky enough to win two identical shirts that didn't fit him. So I got one of them. Score! I will of course spend the rest of my life worrying that we will wear these shirts on the same day.

I finished the night with a Cygnus Porter. It was good, but beware the timed-delay old cigarette aftertaste. Beware. My favorite Flat Earth beer on offer would seem to have been Angry Planet, which tastes a bit like the sort of juice you drink just to be healthy.

This is apparently the week of the free T-shirt: Matt threw one at me after he arrived back from Florida last night. Since it's from Master Bait & Tackle, it's probably dirtiest shirt I own, with the possible exception of that Ormsby Hall T' with the facetious double-entendre.

While I think Matt occasionally overestimates my love of novelty T-shirts, the slogan "Stop the Manatee Insanity" (with accompanying graphic!) is exactly perfect for me. Though for the record, I must acknowledge that manatees are awesome.

After beating Lost Odyssey on Sunday (freedom!) I've been continuing my progress through Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy. It's definitely weird, and supposed to get weirder. Also there is a lot of future sex. A lot a lot. But probably this is a fair prediction about the future.
