randomness of the var & sundry type

Wow. New people! Hello, nice new people!

*peers more closely* Mike? 'dat you?


I had been thinking about going to see "The Brothers Grimm" for a belated birthday present to myself. Yes/no from anyone who's seen it? Am rationing my spending money because there are Trips coming up soon, and every bit I don't spend is a tsochtke I can buy while traveling. Or, okay, food! while traveling, yeah. :-D But the previews for TBG looked so pretty I may have to go anyway. Or maybe it's so bad it will end up in the $2 theater soon?


Wine of the week: Domaine de Gournier Merlot 2003. Smooth, jammy, but not heavy. A little bit tart on the finish, which was a nice surprise. For $8.99 I'd rec it to anyone who wants an uncomplicated but interesting red wine to drink with dinner. Sort of of like the blind date who, while not a romantic probability may end up being someone you enjoy hanging with.



In other news, am back to writing again. All it took was turning off the news. Flaming spiders! Foot-long newts! Snarky wizards and long-suffering teenagers! Yep, Grail Quest rides on...

paleologa comes back from vacation tomorrow. Pandora is most pleased, as this means the Siamese will stop sleeping on her bed....
