Discovery went up today. That was really pretty, although I didn’t get to go out to the beach to watch it. The weather was way too crappy.

Went to see Flood Empty Lakes at the Tavern Friday night. They’re a new local band, with a guy I used to work with at CSU on bass. Really good – instrumental, progressive synth-heavy space-rock, with a nice heavy edge that shines through from time to time.

Oh, this was funny. Saturday night, I went out to Wild Wing Mt. Pleasant with Jason and Brian for a St. Patrick’s Day pint. Jason had brought a surplus of holiday-themed trinkets; green beads, a knit hat with shamrocks on it, and my personal favorite, his “beer goggles” – actual glasses with little beer mugs that go over your eyes. A blonde girl approached us, well into her celebratory cups, and struck up conversation. She quickly asked for, and was granted, the wearing of the beer goggles. Attempting to play off the obvious pun, I asked her, “Well? Do they work? Do I look any better?”

“No,” she said, matter-of-factly.

I’ve had the worst luck with blondes lately. Non-blondes as well.
