Tuesday, October 25, 2005 Happy Tuesday. I'm making progress on the website. Or at least I hope I am. Naturally when I finish this design (the one I like the best) reactions will probably go from "ça c'est jolie-quoi" to "nnn.. ça n'est pas bon-quoi". Even if that does happen, I'm happy with the design and will fritter it away for future use if it doesn't see the light of day here.

For those of you who speak a little French, you're probably wonder why the heck I put "qua" on those French blurbs. Well, "quoi" (kwah) seems to be the magical random ending to all sentences. I'm pretty sure they don't "quoi" in France, so I'm trying to avoid the habit. So far I've been successful, but I don't know how long I can hold out-quoi. Ah! See? I've been told by several sources that once you start quoi-ing, you don't stop.

This week promises to be short and fun. I'm taking a half-day on Thursday because Theresa and Ben are coming into town for our first official ICT meeting. Then on Friday we'll have a couple more coming in for our regional VAC meeting. Then most everyone will leave Saturday, and it's time to go chookin'.

For the record the ginger beer turned out awesome. I was a little worried initially, since after its first 24 hours without active yeast, sipping it made your head light on fire with gingery attack power. 24 hours with healthy, strong yeasts had a calming effect and made it quite delicious. With that under the belt, and a little goading from Shane... I'm going to embark on a breweing expedition of an entire new sort: Hobo Wine. Yes, you heard it right. I'm going to brew me up some hooch. This should not be confused with Prison Wine, Hobo Wine will be brewed out of things yet to be determined under sterile conditions. As soon as I figure out what delicious fruity Boone's Farm-esque concotion I'll try, you'll all be the first to know. At this point I'm leaning towards a pineapple-gingery-lemony type. That's mostly because all other fruit is too freakin' expensive. We'll see though.

Other than that, uh, nothin'.
