The Maltese rules for having shuffleboard, so naturally we had to get our shuffle on. A couple friends showed up, then all of a sudden we were lost in a hoard of karaoke types showing up for karaoke night. We had no idea that this was happening, and I had never really even been to a karaoke night before (at least, that I had paid any attention to), so we stayed for the madness. Not gonna lie, kinda wanted to get up there and belt one out. Little bit of stage fright. It's ok though, Shyla and I decided that we're going to have our karaoke debut next time, and we're going to do a duet of "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen. Rules. One of the main reasons for going out in the first place was that the Quadrantids meteor shower was set to peak between 11PM and 12AM, and for whatever reason, this relatively unknown meteor shower was supposed to be one of the two best meteor showers for 2012. Naturally, what was a mostly clear sky turned into some fogginess by that time of night, and the radiant for the meteor shower was so low that the fog obscured most of the relevant sky. Soooooooo, we missed it. Whatevs! We made the best of it by picking up a couple of 24oz bottles of ale (two of Sierra Nevada's offerings, a Southern Hemisphere and a Torpedo) on the way home, and kickin' it. Not bad for a Tuesday.Wednesday, January 4, 2012
January 3rd, 2012
Had to work today, which was dumb of course, but the evening awaited us! Shyla and I met at Celestino's for a slice after work, then we pedaled over to the Pageant Theater to catch a movie that we heard was good, Young Adult. Turns out it was more "ok" than good, the main character's lack of any sort of real personal growth or development was depressing as hell. Whatever, the Pageant serves popcorn with nutritional yeast, which makes up for a lot. A friend of ours was bartending over at the Maltese for the first time ever tonight, so we cruised on over after the flick for a couple of pints.
