Imp and I are all packed and I'm shutting down the computer and Leavin' Las Vegas.

Bye bright lights... see ya again, hopefully semi-soon.

Talk to all y'all in a few hours.

So....

I started dating this guy. He's very very nice (he brought me my favorite chocolate covered strawberries to work last night).

And come to discover, he's also very very naughty. And, um, let's just say, very very talented.

And I'm still stunned by that. In the best possible way.

How wonderful for you. I hope the surprises keep coming, each one better than the last. You deserve the happiness

You were in Vegas? I am so jealous

Wine? Or gold?

What do I do with an ancient bottle of wine?

We've been sorting out the cupboard under the stairs after the electrician had done his worst. That cupboard is also our wine storage area.

We now have a couple of dozen bottles of wine that need drinking because they are non-vintage and beyond their reasonable date. We might be able to drink two out of every three (and pour the other one down the sink).

Right at the back of the cupboard where they were least likely to be disturbed were our old bottles waiting for an auspicious occasion that hasn't arrived yet.

There's a 1989 bottle of champagne produced as the official champagne for the Bicentennial of the French Revolution. It wasn't very good champagne in 1989. I know. I drank several bottles of it in 1989 and 1990. It's probably undrinkable now and only suitable as a museum exhibit.

Then there is a 1973 bottle of wine... A reasonable wine, a known name but not a great year.

But the real find is the 1959 bottle from the ultimate producer of that region. It's too valuable for me to drink so what do I do with it? It has been drinkable for about the last twenty years and will still be at its best for another ten to fifteen years.

I'm not enough of a wine aficionado to appreciate it.

I'm really tired of packing. The bad thing is, in a couple of days, I get to do it all over again but in reverse order.

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

[MagicaPractica]

Yes i do know how pathetic it is and yes I know I am annoying and don't have a lot of good friends and yes I get the point but know what????

You have plenty of friends.

Blurt: Finally, I have begun my bestselling novel that will be turned into a blockbuster movie. *grinz*

Granted, I am a bit of a philistine and even less in a place to appreciate it than you are but I have two ideas.

1) Take it to wine seller and get a fair few shekels that you can indulge a bit of nonsense on.

2) Gather the wife and kids, and anyone near and dear, and open it and use the next completely inauspicious non-event to celebrate that you have each other. Raise a toast to life and love and liberty and all the things we take for granted. Sometimes the best reason to celebrate and open that special bottle is just because you have strength to open the bottle.

Raise a glass for me when you do.

Probably have to be 1).

A quick google suggests a value in excess of 2,000 US dollars.

Yes definitely 1 then!

Perhaps find a company that does wine auctions and offer it up then?

That is probably what I'll do. There aren't any nearby so I may have to take it to London.

A further search suggests that depending on colour the value could be 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars. The 1973 bottle is only 2-300.

I don't usually pay more than 5 Euros for my wine (in France).

sounds like an excellent profit

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I tried to watch Hellboy II at 4:00 this afternoon. I sneaked the DVD passed my nephews, placed it in my private DVD player, turned on the TV, waited through the previews that I can't skip over (I really hate when that is blocked), pressed play, and promptly fell asleep for the first half hour, and then stopped the DVD, turned everything off, and went back to sleep for another half hour.

I am way too tired on Sunday afternoons lately.

My brother is slightly annoyed.

When he married, his father-in-law gave him a dozen bottles of Napoleon Cognac - that is Cognac laid down for the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814.

He's drunk it all.

Now its value would have bought him a new car - a car for each bottle!

ouch!!!!!

 

[MagicaPractica]

Definitely bestseller material, just not sure whether it will be more literary or more chick lit-ish.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I need those Starbucks chocolates with the coffee crunchies in them. Mmmm.

 

[JagFarlane]

I hate Mondays...especially when I had issues falling asleep due to many thoughts on mind.

Blurt: Screw real life people who can't say I'm sorry when they say mean and hurtful things for no reason. When you try to share some little joke, and they decide that is a reason to start an argument for no reason. When you point this out, of course, it is "your" fault that they are upset and so they won't even apologize at all. Screw them and fuck them. I'm tired of it.

Yup. And while you're at it, screw real life people who take everything you say as mean and hurtful, even when it is as innocuous as "How was your day?" I'm pretty tired of that too. There is no secret agenda; I don't have the time or energy for a secret agenda!

I've got soooooo many articles to write. Argh.

Exactly Di. That's it. *hugs*

Good luck hun!

We're home. I'm exhausted & running in sixteen different directions on less than 4 hrs sleep. Bel is struggling to get out of bed after a full 8.

I sympathize. With both of you.
