I, with my husband enrolled to a wine of the month club, thanks to the couple that chose to stay with us on a weekend who extended the invitation to join the club. I think it as a wonderful gift of courtesy. Ever since joining the club, we receive two bottles of wine every month. My husband doesn't care about wine and he asks me what to do with that much wine. I found a solution to the problem. I decided to use my membership at a club of different kind, a book club to make the most of the sample wine bottle I would receive from the wine club.

I met the members of the book club at a meeting and told them about the wine I get from the 'wine of the month' club. Till then it is not a problem finishing off the wine. We picked a book on wine making, wine testing, wine sampling and stories of people related to wine making and serving industry. We are book club members, you see. The next meeting of the book club was planned at my home. By the time the meeting materialized, I had some unique bottles of wine. We discussed the book (really!) while sampling the wine. It was a nice thing to see wine of the month club was mentioned in the book. Now tell me what should I call the meeting - wine of the month meeting or book club meeting?

I agree it was the loudest book club meeting we ever had. Different sampling wine glasses were emptied at regular intervals. It was great fun for everyone. Was it wine of the month club that added fun and value to our book club meeting or is it the other way round? It doesn't matter till we have something for our intellect and for our tongue as well.

The membership fee to the wine of the month club is quite reasonable and most of the book club members joined the club as a group. It is nice that the hostess always something unique for the guests, even in the form of wines. Some of the wines are great tasting while I don't really like all of them. It doesn't matter - there will always be takers for the tastes that I personally dislike. It is only natural for us to note which wines perform well on our tongues and which one doesn't. We will be purchasing the ones that raised some prolific cheers.

OH LANTIS

Oh my god, I am so bad at blogging. x_x So last night The Boy and I got around to finally watching the previous two episode of Atlantis. Honestly, I thought The Seed was absolute rubbish. I cannot stand Carson Beckett, and the Rodney/Jennifer they were pushing on us made me want to vomit a little bit. But we found out that Mr. Woolsey has a Heart of Gold! He's not a Bad Guy, despite his baldness! Also, Jennifer Keller nearly turns into a hive ship. ...what? MOVING ON. I absolutely loved bits

Making the Most of It

Remember when I told you about my sticky, greasy kitchen a week or so ago? Well, this is what I was up to... Somehow, I'm always more inspired to DO something with produce given to me by people who actually grew it than I ever have been with the stuff from the store. The same goes for the produce I grow myself (which is pretty much limited to lemons right now - but we're hoping to change that soon!) I don't know if it will work on the students we're trying to train with our school garden progra

Well Done Fillet, what is it good for it?

All this talk of tipping has been getting me down. It's been all consuming over the last week or so. From taxi drivers to guests to the guy in the shop to newspapers to radio and tv, everybody has been talking about tips. I've been defending waiters and tipping 'til I'm blue in the face. Do you have to defend the money you earn on a daily basis? I very much hope not. It's a fucking bore. So this is the last I'll say about it. If you want to tip, then tip. If you don't want to tip, then don't.

Background Part One As you may have guessed from such ramblings as Real Orks, I rather like orks — at least when they're done right. Part of the reason I use OD green 550 cord for boot laces is that they make excellent boot laces, but another part is that, like red laces for radical leftists and white for white supremacist skinheads, OD green 550 cord indicates ork supremacy. Ha ha, only serious. I almost compulsively rework orkish (and orcish) races in sword-and-sorcery fantasy RPG worlds I

The $120 Movie

Falling asleep 38 minutes into “Lars and the Real Girl” three nights ago was a sign that my film-watching patience and skill has dwindled now to virtually non-existent that I have become a father. It’s as simple as this: When you are exhausted from chasing around a toddler all day, the last thing you want to do is watch an art house film and analyze Ryan Gosling’s moustache icicles during a snow storm. I used to love art house films. Love them. I hated MEN IN BLACK. I hated INDEPENDENCE DAY.
