I received a voicemail from my landlord yesterday, informing me that they were going to show my apartment to a prospective tenant today at 5pm. I don't move out for 2 months, so I'm wondering how many of these temporary exiles I'll have to endure. Anyway, on the positive side it forced me out on a Thursday night and down to the Tap & Mallet for a pint or two and some supper. Accompanied, as ever, by my giant, endless book...
030. Try 25 new foods - (01/25)
For all my love of cheesy-beery-starchy goodness I've never had rarebit, so I tried the Mallet's fried egg rarebit. It was, unsurprisingly, extremely tasty. Then again, what's not to like about "cheddar, porter and Dijon melted on sourdough. Served open-faced with a fried egg on top"? I'm now thoroughly intrigued by this whole rarebit concept. I think I might make Welsh rarebit for supper tomorrow as it's both meat-free and something I've never cooked before (thus satisfying two more goals, tada!).
039. Try 25 new beers - (04/25)
Two tonight, both from the Sly Fox brewery: McBane's SlyPA and Pikeland Pils. The IPA was a little hoppy for me, but they had just launched it yesterday so I had to try. The Pils was crisp and light, but didn't have a whole lot of flavor to recommend it. I don't really see either of these entering my rotation, but neither were regrettable.
044. Take a picture a day for 365 days - (007/365)
I think I need to come up with some more interesting photos than the drudgery I've been snapping lately. I keep forgetting, then all of a sudden I find that it's the end of the day and I end up taking a picture with my iPhone of whatever is close at hand. Anyway, these 4 give you a glimpse into the mundane details of my life, which I am sure you are so very interested in: view from my bedroom window on a rainy night; Sebastian; the contents of my fridge (woo!); and the least-cluttered area of my desk at work.

I'm trying to gather a to-do list of all the things I want to accomplish this weekend, considering I did a pretty phenomenal job of wasting the last one. I'd like to wake up early tomorrow and go for a jog but somehow I can never quite shake the cobwebs early enough to motivate myself to crawl out of bed. Maybe someday I can learn to be one of those "rise-and-shine" people instead of a "running around like a madwoman getting ready when I should be out the door" person. Ha.
