ION, credit.com just gave me my Experian credit score for actual-free -- I didn't have to sign up for a trial anything -- and it's really good! I've never known my actual score before, partly due to being scared in the past. It looks like the only thing I could do to significantly raise it is have a car loan or mortgage, which yeah, no.

Wine is like coffee for me too. Mostly it's somewhere between "You're kidding" and "I wouldn't do it twice in a month or anything" and then you give me the expensive stuff and I'm all "This I can do like water."

But, to be honest, I have no idea where that price is for wine. My sister's friend had a sommelier pick out a couple wines for her since she couldn't find her absolute favourite (to thank her for burning some TV for her--sis will never explain torrents to her) and the red totally didn't have that edge that makes me not able to drink with abandon.

Dropped sis off at airport, am at office, foot hurts like bitch, head chiming in, and this is where I face up to "Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something." Changing from driving brace to existing bandage, hope no one comes back to the area.

I can taste the difference between $10 wine and $25 wine, and maybe even the difference between $25 wine and $60 wine. But I doubt I'd be able to discern between $60 and $600 wine.

I am Jessica, regarding wine. I buy $10 wine, natch.

I'm in recovery, my eyes are having a little trouble focussing. Nothing a nice nap won't fix.

I really hate teaching in the summer without air conditioning. It's at least 85 degrees in these classrooms. And in one of them, the handles on almost all of the windows are broken, so they won't open.

Where the fuck are you? I had an entire meeting where an executive (that I was sent in to meet because we're tight like that) questioned every axiom of one of our major projects.

And you have nothing to distract me? WHAT USE ARE YOU?

Sarameg, I'm sorry about the eye issues, but I'm glad you've met new family you like.

Thanks for checking in Theodosia. I hope recovery goes well.

Sorry about the meeting stuff, ita.

I can't really taste an improvement in wine north of $50. The difference between $12 and $50's pretty noticeable to me, though. But it doesn't bother me so much that I refrain from drinking the $12 wine. Or the $5 wine, in some instances. There's expensive, amazing wine, with layers and different flavors that change at different points in the drinking process. And then there's mono-note, but perfectly tasty, bubbly rose that I can get a case of and suck down while scrolling through Tumblr. It's all good.

To sum up--mmmmmmm, wine.

IT looked at my computer and found that the screws holding in my hard drive were missing. So it was unseating itself if I jostled the computer just right. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? (Yes, I now have "screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place" in my brain).

I have new screws and I can get a new work laptop in 11 months, unless this one acts up. How can I make it act up?

How can I make it act up?

Don't put the screws in.
