St. Arnold's Elissa IPA

So, Sarah and I were browsing the beer aisle at Whole Foods for something new, and look what we found! The Elissa has her own namesake brew, an India Pale Ale by the St. Arnold Brewing Company of Houston. Some of the proceeds support Texas Seaport Museum, too. Guess what we're buying a case of for the wedding? Haven't tried it yet, though. Hope it's good. Better get some Shiner Bock, too, just in case.

Update: Plaaargh, it's bitter! Do people really drink IPAs for enjoyment?

This other time...

...at this party, Michi told roommate Mason that Orange Crush soda would get him really wasted. And he drank like four of them. So trusting.

This one time..

...Sarah was so proud.

"Breast petals" defined

Funny dress-shopping story:

Shopgirl at Cache: "You know, we have a coupon out. You only need to spend $16 more, and you can save $50 on your purchase."

Michi: "Thanks, that's great! Uh, what do you have in here that's close to $16?"

Shopgirl: "Well...we have these lovely breast petals."

Michi: "'Breast petals?' But what are they?"

Shopgirl: "..."

Shopgirl: "They're little flowers, and they have adhesive, see...they go under the dress..."

Michi: "They're pasties that you don't show off."

Shopgirl: "Yes."

Finished stuff!
