Drinking: Trippel by New Belgium. Cold, refreshing, and packs some punch. Mmmm. Watching: Scrubs Season 7. Not as funny as the first couple seasons, but still an excellent show.

Kinda in limbo, so separated from some of my obsessions but here are a few that I have been able to maintain:
Drinking - Stone IPA (http://www.stonebrew.com/ipa/). Unbelievably good taste.
Reading - Matterhorn (http://www.amazon.com/Matterhorn-Novel-Vietnam-Karl-Marlantes/dp/080211928X). Just finished reading this. Really good read. I identified with the brotherhood mentality while understanding the frustration of the military.
Drinking: A hearty Stone IPA, same as Brandon, coincidentally.
Watching: Reruns of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," which my wife and I have on DVD. (Ok, won't actually be watching this tonight until after our daughter is asleep.)
Drinking: Rickard's Red and Corona Watching: White Collar and The Good Guys Reading: Fortune of War, Patrick O'Brian Listening to: nothing in particular but I'm going to check out Tallest Man Playing: um... Xbox.
