Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

"Fruity" flavors are just indicators of slight sweetness in some way. "It has a lot of fruit" = little sweet. "Oaky" - drier, not sweet, slight woody astringency. "Buttery" - doesn't mean tastes like butter but a smooth mouthfeel. It's all code!

I see. Although I think the yellowtail merlot really does taste like cherries. And I would not want a big bell pepper on my nose either!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have a big bell pepper on my nose right now. AIFG!

Oh, like you weren't expecting it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of my favorite wine blogs linked to a story of the history of the Yellow Tail company a while back, and it pleased me no end to find out that the best-selling wine in North America got that way just by tasting good.

So, nobody watched ALIAS? I enjoyed it, but I don't really have anything in the way of comment on it.

No wait, loved Spydaddy's grumpy enjoyment that "Apparently, I'm amusing".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That joke was just nast. I can't imagine why they gave it so much build-up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I find a lot of the time, if you just smell the wine, you can really see what they're saying (I had something the other day that really did smell like apricots, like the menu said), but drinking it, you don't notice so much.

Today, I need to: go to the post office, have a phone interview, pick up my parents at their hotel, and go to my school's graduation. (!!!!!)

I may bail on the post office. I'm all nervous about the timing of everything, which is ridiculous, but there it is.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

How can they mess with the OTP of Lily and Marshall?!?!

I don't think they will in the long run -- IIRC, in an interview one of the creators said that Lily and Marshall are essentially him and his wife (and also that his wife wouldn't agree to be turned into a character on the show unless he promised to try to get Alyson Hannigan to play her). So I really can't imagine the show permanently breaking up the avatars of its very own RL OTP. I hope.

I'm so pissed I missed half of HIMYM, due to the stupid president.
