Yep. All your base are belong to us.
I wish I could say that I watched a great game last night--alas, due to a strong dose of Vicodin and muscle relaxant, I was passed out by 8:30pm. I woke up briefly in the fifth (just long enough to watch us strand yet more runners) but yeah, that was about it. Slept till 10am today. It apparently helped, as my back feels slightly better--ie, I am able to move somewhat normally and may be able to get in and out of my car without looking like I need help. Which is good, because I'm working tonight. Ehn.
Yesterday was fun only because after I took the Vicodin, I had to go to a job interview. It went really well (despite my intense medicinal goofiness), in the short version, and I'm going to meet with the owner on Thursday.
New restaurant opening in Grand Rapids, soon-ish? The Electric Cheetah looks interesting and fun--sort of like the Green Well, where I applied a few months ago and interviewed at the beginning of February (actually the same day we signed our lease for the Friendly Confines). The interview was pretty much an epic fail, but that's sort of irrelevant now. Obviously, Electric Cheetah isn't open yet, but I like the theme behind it: local, organic, scratch, neighborhood-involved, and best of all, in a town where there seemingly aren't any independent restaurants that aren't part of a "group," these guys just have one place and want to do it right. So, even with fruit sushi, they might have a shot. I get the feeling more and more that West-Michiganders are looking for independence in their food. Or maybe I'm just pissed off that there aren't more choices--seems like everywhere we go, we find out it's a Gilmore, or Mission, or Essence.... etc etc etc.
Other news--Founders Brewery, the home of the house favorite Red's RyePA, has a new beer on draft that I'd love to try--Pepper Pale Ale. I can't find anything about it, not even on the Founders site--any help or recommendations welcome!
Hopefully tonight I'll be non-medicated enough to drink the Left Hand Brewing Company Milk Stout that's been in the fridge for a couple days, and to help Jak finish that growler of Red's that we were supposed to drink night before last. Turns out that not eating all day, and then drinking high-alcohol beers all night, isn't a good idea.
