mass update

for the one of you that wonders what's up with me lately:

- i've been working on a new web app to keep track of my reviews of things. here it is. i enjoy working on it.

- hops got a crackberry. loading up the above website on the crackberry shows that i know my shit. it degrades gracefully and is 100% functional.

- i'm now into wine. all these years i thought i hated wine, when in fact, i hate astringency. i don't like wines with heavy tannins. unfortunately, it seems many california wines are loaded with the stuff. i'm learning and recording.

- i'm also into cheese. i have always liked cheese. apparently i really like blue cheese. cheese goes with wine. wine is better when it's with something.

- i'm tired. i think it's the deadlifts.

- last night i chipped my crown on hops' corn bread. wtf? argh! going to see the dentist this week.

- we busted out the 30yr laphroaig last night, but the cork broke. ARGH. after 2 years in the opened bottle, it seems to have shed its oaky vanilla flavors and re-asserted its bandaidy laphroaiginess. that isn't a good thing -- now it tastes like the 10yr!

- saw a bottle of the 30yr laphroaig for $500. holy crap!
