Come to find out, this house was built in 1955.

Waiting waiting waiting for the PSN update so I can get Valkyria Chronicles 2. This 2008 Bogle Merlot with some dark chocolate help 🙂

I saw someone refer to great wine as "bottled poetry". That’s what I want from it. That’s my reason for trying the whole wine thing.

Lately, I’ve been wanting a new light above the bar. And I have very specific requirements. I get these weird cravings sometimes.

Today begins her/us being back on a normal mon-fri schedule! 🙂 🙂 Really hope they don’t change it back for a very long time.

trying the shortest possible, snapshot-of-my-life bio on my site http://christophercornelius.com/wp/the-short-version-bio-who-i-am-today/

I intend to do the "longer version" (covering, for instance, my life in abq) eventually. but, it took months just to finally do this 😛

Foamy does not mean crema. This foam dissipated, leaving a crema with a tattered appearance. Roasted 23rd so should be rested enough. Hm.

Espresso Classico – Paradise Coffee Roasters–http://www.paradiseroasters.com/products/Espresso-Classico.html

These are very dry beans compared to the ones I’ve used for years, and I usually blame that when the shots turn out foamy.

RT @don_rivers: LOL. I’m in the newspaper: http://bit.ly/aV26UJ

Terra confessed she doesn’t much care for Norah Jones. It’s so over between us. I must draw the line somewhere.

Just watched Wine for the Confused by John Cleese. It was really good – very educational and interesting every moment.

Moogle kitty has a moogle on his collar http://flic.kr/p/8vPXAz

ok, that’s cool – a moogle cocktail! http://www.thedomesticscientist.com/2009/03/20/gamer-drink-the-moogle/

OOPS! corrected link: behold people dressing their (human) babies up as moogles http://www.google.com/images?&q=moogle+baby

Kitty City has a new thrift store downtown. I just got a pair of Docs for a buck! And an espresso pitcher for $1.50 🙂

Pot roast, butter peas and 2008 Redwood Creek Merlot http://winesleuth.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/redwood-creek-wines/

Watching The Dark Knight on blu-ray, the changing aspect ratio (because it was also shot for Imax, iirc) is unique – still good composition.

Varying aspect ratio… Very "Kubrickian". (cf Lolita, Dr. Strangelove) (erm, in the case it’s a proper transfer. Yay for LaserDisc!)

We suddenly realized we shouldn’t have named our new kitty Moogle – we should have named him Kupo! (it’s sort of the sound moogles make.)

I haven’t gotten a good pic of it yet, but Moogle actually has a moogle charm thingy hanging from his collar.

A large latte http://flic.kr/p/8vE9gA

O Lord, I dost thank Thee for the bounty of this double latte and pray that it wouldst be perkifying to mine body and mind, in Thy mercy.

Lots of windows open – it’s a perect day outside. And it’s been a loooong time since that’s been the case.

@BillyKangas Your updates are among a handful that I get real-time via SMS. But, don’t give me a pop quiz or anything 😛

The wine experiment progresses – we got a bottle of The Little Penguin Merlot 2009 and built our meal plan for the week around it.

Resources for wine newbies on a budget would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Sites, books, apps, whatever.
