Down the Hatch

This is a copied email that I wrote this morning.
Lazy? Yes.
Informative?
Also yes. So shush! Added comments are in blue.

 Fun book clubbing last night - we'll have to chat again once people have finished Where'd you go, Bernadette?, I really liked it and want to hear thoughts on the latter portions!!!

Now that its the blog and no one really reads it, I can say, I loved the book and the ending. I definitely never thought Bernadette was dead. I found it hilarious that Manjula was a fake person and really an identity thieving tool for the mob! What?
Is it wrong that I was thinking how great it would be to have a cyber assistant paid 35 cents an hour to do all my stuff for me?
I would DEFINITELY have her make and erect offensive billboards for my neighbors. Excellent idea.

Thanks Michelle for hosting.

Wanted to wish Mike and Michelle good luck and lots of fun on their respective upcoming trips to Chile and Japan!

I'm jealous and be sure to have lots of pictures and stories to share with us next time we see you.

Safe Travels!

In other news, I was talking with Jess over the weekend and she mentioned she wanted to host next for May book club.

Jess, I'm looking forward to what will hopefully be a lovely and WARM evening in your great back yard again.

We'll be eagerly awaiting the book choice and details!!!

I'm not going to lie, I often dream of enchiladas and sangria from Jess' book club. Who needs variety when you can have that heavenly manna?

New for next time: some good friends of mine and Mark's, Mike (not the one we already know) and Rachel are just relocating to the area from Wisconsin and are gung-ho and ready to bring in some fresh blood to our CPBC group.

I'm excited because they are fun people and you will all like them, you should be excited because, well, we're increasing our numbers and on our way to literary world domination (albeit slightly behind schedule).

I didn't want to share in the email but they are also both incredibly beautiful people. We will be lucky to have them in CPBC - like they bring us up a couple notches. Not at all kidding.

I don't mean like they are beautiful soul-wise (even though they are in fact both wonderful and good hearted) I mean they are uber saucy eye candy to the utmost degree. The both let me hug them and I secretly try to steal their beauty through osmosis.

I don't think it works but I definitely think I get some of their mojo, which is enough for now.

Shhhh, don't tell!

Mike and Rach, welcome. Maybe you can give book club a whirl with us in May and then host after that if you feel so inclined.

Please be sure to include them in emails from here on out.

That is all.

I love you my chipmunks!

Can't wait for the Mary Roach, author of Stiff, Extravaganza on Thursday at the Science Museum.

Sorry that Mike and Michelle will miss out but I think your plans are way better than ours anyway.

For the rest of you that have any interest:

Beer and Wine and Boozy Science are all happening this Thursday at 6pm.

Be there or be square!

Here is the detailed scoop on the Fermentational Informational and I am SOOOOOO EXCITED!

I bought the new Mary Roach book and am really pumped to be reading it.

I won't lie, Bonk didn't intrigue me the same way Stiff did.

Perhaps it was because I felt like there was a lot of stuff I kind of knew already.

You know, sex wise.

Since I am a sexpert.

Okay, that was a lie, but I did have an incredibly over-zealous health teacher in college who definitely covered uncharted territory when it comes to a classroom learning environment.

I definitely FELT like a sexpert at the time.

If not in practice at least in theory.

Okay, moving on.

To recap:

Excited for Gulp.
Not a sexpert.

Excited for Mike and Rachel (aka Mr. and Mrs. Handsome) to join our ranks.
Not educated on the process of osmosis.

Excited for spring and even the slim prospect of the exact same meal to be hosted at Dave and Jess' house

Done writing now? Yes.

Melizard, out!

Next Social Science:

Fill up your glass, then fill up your brain! With wine and beer sampling from local breweries and wineries, fermentation demonstrations, beer density experiments, presentations by local experts, trivia, music, bars, and more, put your favorite beverages under the microscope and celebrate the biology, chemistry and hand-to-mouth physics that allow these beverages to delight your senses.

Highlight of the evening:

• Author Mary Roach, beloved for her factual and funny books Stiff,Spook, and Bonk, will be speaking on her new pop-science probe due out in April: Gulp.
