\u2022 I’ve been reading a lot lately about Tuscan wines, and trying to teach myself how to properly pronounce Italian words and phrases, and it has rekindled in me the long-held hunch that I am an Italian trapped in a Scotch-Irish body. “Sangiovese” and “Brunello” and “Trebbiano” can’t help but sound rich and sensuous as they roll off the tongue. (And to think, I thought it was “san-gee-oh-VEESE” until, like, two days ago.) <\/p>\n
\u2022 Today I left the office at 5:30 in a huff, irked because there was nothing for me to do and I was bored out of my mind, so I took an early lunch break and went to the liquor store (I’m not sure I could be more of a skank) to stock up on wine for the weekend. My rage was not abated by my mini-roadtrip, however. On the contrary. It festered, fed by my finicky blinker, which decided to be all rebellious during rush hour and NOT WORK AT ALL, leading me to avoid left-hand turns altogether. Which made for a comical trip around Midtown. I swear, that car is asking to be melted down into scrap metal. And I threatened to take it out to a vacant field and burn it. But it didn’t listen. Damn unintelligent machines. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Moods intrigue me. When I feel a foul one rise up from my gut and sour everything around me, I often wonder how that happened. <\/p>\n
\u2022 I think Tamara<\/a> and I talked about this the last time we hung out, but what is it about unmarked white vans that totally creep me out? Yeesh. <\/p>\n \u2022 I was reading through some of my archives, and it occurs to me that I miss my old life. I mean, I’m happy with my life as it is now, but how comfortable it was to throw around words like “my boyfriend” and “Mufreesboro.” I post a lot more pictures than I used to, which I think is an improvemenet, but overall I feel like maybe my blog is way more boring than it used to be. <\/p>\n \u2022 However, I feel much wiser than I did then. <\/p>\n \u2022 Though I still feel appropriately clueless and naive. <\/p>\n \u2022 MEN, you confuse me. All of you!<\/p>\n \u2022 I have been looking at Shauna’s photos<\/a> and I swear they make me a little more fertile upon every view. Pea is such a cutie. <\/p>\n \u2022 I am adding things to the sidebar. The uber-perceptive will notice. <\/p>\n
