Fantôme The Friendly Beer

Yesterday, we (me, Ashley, Matt and Michael) went out in Ocean Beach. Started with dinner and a drink at Nicks at the Pier with just Ashley and Michael, followed by a whiskey-ginger ale with the whole crew. Since Matt didn't join for dinner, we ended up going to Newport Pizza and Ale house so he could get a slice of pizza and we could still have some drinks.
We ended up getting a couple of beers from this small brewery in Beligum called Fantôme Brewery. Their Saison was AMAZING! One of my favorites of this style that I have tried so far. We also tried their beer called Pissenlit. It was equally awesome. And that word now strikes me as hilarious because I can only think Piss Lint when I see it. 

Finally, the best part of this brewery is their mascot. He totally looks like Casper .

Weekend Splurge

So there is this diet personality type of The Weekender. The Weekender lives by the book all week and throws it out the window on the weekend.

This was me over the last two days.

Meals included:

Turkey Scramble
Hot Dogs
Steak Tartar Canapes
Pastrami on Rye with Fries (and beers)
Eggs Benedict (and a mimosa)
Cupcake
Tuna & Cheese
Chicken Sandwich and Fries

Lots of dining out this weekend. It was all amazing and delicious.

I regret nothing. Back to the gym tomorrow night.

Finally, I am pretty sure I just ate a fleck of nail polish on accident.

Pizza Port Salad

I went to Pizza Port in OB for dinner. I shared the Port Salad with Ashley and Matt. Michael got a pizza.

I drank a Flanders Red style beer but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. This is my favorite type of beer ever.

BEST

Maybe Your CDs Are In His Truck?

So I am currently in the library, waiting for my health center appointment. The guy next to me is listening to Blink 182 on his iPod way too loud.

There is a dude from my old apartment building here. He looks like a woolly mammoth.

Saturday before last I made an egregious error in judgment and did something I most definitely should not have. It is hard to deal with fucking up so huge. I may have ruined a very valuable friendship. I've never regretted anything more than that drunken action. I just hope my friends will forgive me. But even more so I hope that certain individuals will get their comeuppance. Though my error was terrible and I will never be sorry enough, I hope that the broader lesson is that I am not the first, the last nor the worst. He's done it before and he'll do it again. My actions are reprehensible and I will have to deal with that, but more than anything I hope she can see what a bastard he is to her for no reason other than it is a habit. Gah.

So yea... Cheaters never prosper, honesty is the best policy, etc etc.


In other news:

Maritza, Heather and I went to see Charlie Bartlet. Dan reviewed this film earlier and I agree that it is clever and humorous. I definitely recommend the film. It is a good way to spend some time.

Heather also introduced me to FatBurger today for lunch. She claims that it is a "taste revolution," which I found, after some googling, is a Miller Lite slogan. It definitely applies though. I really enjoyed my turkey burger and onion rings. Again, I most definitely recommend it to everyone. It might cost a lot of weight watchers point but it was well worth it flavor-wise.

Finally, after going through the Los Angeles Downtown News (Heather's copy, of course), I found an ad for Sumo Showdown in the City of Angels at the LA Sports Arena. I totally want to go! I am still trying to figure out what "contribution seats" are because otherwise I may be priced out of the event. As much as I want to go, I don't want to spend $35 for cheap seats to a sumo wrestling event. We'll see. Anyone else interested in going if I can find some tickets on the cheap (June 7 or 8)?

I have a doctor's appointment on Friday to have blood drawn for follow-up anemia testing and another battery of blood screening panels.

And Finally: There has been talk of maybe going to a couple baseball games here and there this season. I was even considering getting a package of tickets for the Angels (but I might could swing the Dodgers since we are in LA). Anyone want to go in with me on this? I am researching to see if there is a cheap seat package that would include lots of free giveaway nights.

*edit*
I went through the websites for the Dodgers and Angels. The Dodgers site wasn't loading the mini-plan page so I couldn't compare offers (I will see if it works later tonight) but the Angels have a 9 game plan that has seats for as little as $9/game. For $81 (plus parking and stuff) we could go to 9 baseball games. I think that is a pretty good deal. It'd be nice if the Dodgers had a similar plan (public transit to a closer location). I'd prefer to go to Angels games (OC, holler!) but there are some definite advantages to going to Chavez Ravine. We'll have to see if they offer something good.
