Movies & Music
 | For whatever reason, I've sat down with ultra-high expectations for the last 2 movies we've watched. Did I say we? I suppose she was awake for more than half of each movie... Anyways, The Grudge and Friday Night Lights both fell just a wee bit short for me.
After a week or so with a cold and off the wine wagon, we hopped back on with the last of our 2004 Beaujolais Nouveau - Joseph Drouhin Primeur. The super strawberry flavors made this my favorite (over Duboeuf and Picard), but it deteriorated rapidly between last night and this evening. So much for letting your Nouveau breathe... |
With the Grammys fast approaching, I decided to go through the list of nominees and choose who I'd vote for in some of the categories I feel entitled to have an opinion of. Keep in mind that I'm the type of person who likes to "spread it around" and "keep everyone happy", much to the chagrin of Kanye West.
