Woot! My first batch of mead is finally in the bottle and ready to age. Yes, granted, it kinda tastes like crap at the moment. (Rather, it tastes HIGHLY alcoholic and not sweet enough.) Supposedly, though, the taste gets drastically better around the 6 month to one year mark. So Thursblot this coming year will be with my own mead, and I'll try to bring some to AC2010, too, assuming it comes out well!

Regardless of whether the mead is to my taste this time around, I've proven that I can DO it. Now I just need to tweak until I'm happy with it. I think my first order of business will be to find a yeast that has a slightly lower alcohol tolerance, so that more sugar will be left behind.

Aside from that, I got a new car. My old one died a terrible, horrible death, but it was old enough that I can hardly blame it. 14 years is a decent lifetime for a car, in my opinion. So I now have an Infiniti G35X. We'll see how it goes, it'll either be awesome and last forever, or cost me much more than I want to put into it. Don't know which yet.

Hm... my project list is thinning out again. Time to find more fun stuff to do!
