i like my good beers as much as the next guy, but if i just wanna get drunk i can buy a sixer of hamm's for three bucks a couple blocks away. i gotta bike a couple miles to get anything halfway decent.

I feel your pain. My neighborhood's idea of good beer is Coors Original. I'd have to walk to this Polish area thats like a 15 minute walk from here in order to get something good. Theres this store on the way to Queens on the JMZ that just has gigantic red letters saying "BEER STORE" (or something along those lines) which I gawk at from the window everytime I go by it. One day I'll get off at that stop and spend like 300 dollars on beer. It looks like the Wal-Mart for beer. It makes me feel all warm and tingly just thinking about it.

the best was college, when the liquor store had three floyds, dogfish head, pyramid, goose island, left-handed brewing co., etc. two block walk. then the bar that the university ran had 26 different beers on tap (y'know, you've got the garden variety stuff on one end, then old rasputin on the other) and 150 bottles. ah, college.

Group Intentionally Violating City Ordinance During "Ladle Fest"

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial city ordinance has led to a number of protests and now a trial. An Orlando man is the first person to face a jury for feeding the homeless.

It's the first trial of its kind. A man is facing a judge and jury for violating Orlando's ban on feeding the homeless. Eric Montanez, 22, was caught feeding a group in Lake Eola Park earlier this year. The prosecution told Eyewitness News their case rests on video taken of Montanez feeding the homeless, breaking Orlando's feeding ban.

"There are a lot better things for law enforcement to be doing in this town, but this was an outrage," said George Crossley of the ACLU.

Montanez and a small group of supporters marched from Lake Eola Park to the Orange County on Monday morning.

"We're ready to take this on," Montanez said.

Montanez and the group he's involved with, Food Not Bombs, returned to Lake Eola just after sunrise to once again violate the ordinance that has him on trial. Food Not Bombs volunteers served breakfast to about 100 Montanez supporters, most of them homeless. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner during what they're calling a three-day "ladle fest," not a protest.

"Me personally, I think that's discriminating for one," said Lamont Robinson, a homeless man.

"We're out here trying to survive from day to day life and this gentleman over here is helping us," said Melvin Moore, a homeless man.

In April, Montanez was arrested for violating the city ordinance that bans mass feeding in one area. His attorney will argue that the law is a violation of civil rights and say Montanez did nothing wrong, because every feeding that he participated in was done at a public park.

"The law itself should be illegal. Feeding people should not be criminalized. Being poor should not be criminalized," Montanez said.

The group is hoping to pressure city leaders into axing the ordinance that they believe is a violation of their civil rights, but the city has made no mention of such consideration being in their plans.

seems like this is one law that will be struck down soon.

Kiss Me Deadly - Fucking bad ass! Cloris Leachman gets killed in the first 10 minutes. Crazy sci-fi shit and detective stuff. RAD!

i didn't go in for this at all. i thought the actor playing mike hammer was completely unconvincing, not to mention the alternate ending being a hell of a lot better. granted, the nuclear fears boil to the surface naturally, but i dunno.

but facets' employees voted it their favorite noir, so what do i know...

i saw superbad last night.
tonight i'll probably watch sabrina with the girl.
