Post post-postianism and it's affects on middle-class females ages 22 to 24

dyed my hair red. was an accident, i was aiming for warm brown. so, i now have very red hair and c. laughs and calls me "ginger." red hair is not considered to be something that you want here in the uk.
pub is going well, money is being made, i have learned how to pull the perfect pint of real ale (there isn't much skill to pulling lager).
did you notice that i called it "real ale?" yup, there's a difference between ale and "real ale." it's different the way a square and a rectangle are different. an ale is, you know, an ale and a "real ale" is a beer that has been brewed and fermented in something, then put into the cask that you pull it from and allowed to ferment again. otherwise, it's brewed in some other vessel and decanted into a keg, and then re-carbonated. this is what ususally happens in the us. and it is much fizzier than "real ale" and so pulling cask-conditioned (or "real") ale is different than keg ales.
do you feel smarter now? you should.
or at least put it into the back of your head for some night when you are playing pub trivia and they ask you why beer in england is flat.

hummmmm...

baby is walking and mumbling and we are getting along swimmingly.

over and out.
