Queen, 1+1, and AFK
I’ve been on a Queen kick the past two days. My meager collection of Queen contains only 10 songs, but they’re all good. I just can’t get enough of “Fat Bottomed Girls.” They make the rockin’ world go ’round. That’s a good thing. Of course I got the other hits: Another One Bites the Dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, Stone Cold Crazy, We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You, etc. Anyway, it just goes to show that even though you hated something in the past it doesn’t mean you won’t like it in the future.
Isn’t it interesting how you can take two good things, combine them together, and get a bad thing? For example, right now I’m drinking Pyramid’s seasonal brew, Snow Cap (7%!), which is a good thing. I’m also eating Safeway’s General Tso’s chicken, which is also a good thing. However, in combination, it’s a bad thing. The taste combination is just awful. Fortunately I’m the hardy type who muscles through the bad times just as easily as the good times. I suppose this lesson can be applied to other more important things, but this was the most salient example for me.
I’m going down to LA this weekend for a very nerdy thing and to see some friends. Posting will probably be non-existent. Take it easy, everybody!

Queen is awesome. We need another Queen. (Sorry, Queens of the Stone Age)
I can understand the Pyramid Snowcap, although I don’t remember liking it all that much (maybe they didn’t hit 7% back then). But Safeway for General Tso? What were you thinking? You can’t be that poor, can you? Get some frickin’ Zeeks!
Speaking of pizza, I had Fancy DC Restaurant pizza today on the company tab – applewood smoked bacon, mushrooms, “open dried tomatoes” and some other stuff I didn’t recognize. It was pretty good but very rich.
