Alright, I'll do that. I did know to let it breathe...but I didn't know for how long, so I appreciate the info. I only let it breathe for not quite an hour.

2008 Ojai Syrah -- my first syrah, so I withhold judgment. I do like that back-of-the-throat burn.

FTFY. And answeed your question: resounding yes. Still need to drink beer, though.

That works, I like Ikea.

Get rid of Windows, or get rid of the Emu? Yeah, I know, I'm not helping. Me: broke two bottles of wine, cleaned them up. No, not any of the syrahs, and fortunately, not any of the more expensive malbecs, I don't think. Still pisses me off. Good thing we don't care about that floor (it's asbestos -- it needed to have been replaced decades ago anyway). One was broken in the process of cleaning up the other, because I had bottles everywhere, and was trying not to step on them or in the puddle from the first one. @self. I need a wine rack. Anyone have any suggestions on the cheapest value winerack? I'm thinking the assemble-it-yourself one they sell at Total Wine, like this one:

QFA. Quoated fr teh awsum.

Oh wow, congrats on surviving so far!

Yeah, well, I grew up in the 70's. inasmuch as I did grow up.

I'm sure you can convert them: link.

Me: Where are you getting all of these? Are you going for best price, or are you just happy to have them at all?

This guy?

You know, sometimes "whorey" is just what the doctor ordered.

More Norton Bodega malbeca non-reserva -- you know, now that I know what to expect, I'm liking it more.

When I went in the Apple store, they had a faster processor option in the smallest MBP than in either of the other two sizes. When does the Air come out? I think I'd be happy with the smallest MBP, but if you can't wait the 6 months, then I'd make a decision based on current knowledge. (I'd of course recommend you check out macrumours.)

No, I thought it was just me. Very pagan-looking. I approve.

No doubt...still had to try it to know for sure -- the difference in price was only a couple dolla. Sometimes "not as good" is still "acceptable". And this certainly is drinkable -- I'll finish the bottle. It's fruitier, so someone who likes fruitier may prefer it. It...just...me personally I won't get any more. On deck: the Privada.

I stand corrected.

What she said. And Shelly -- I like that one a lot, too.

A real corkscrew (rabbit-ears style from Screwpull). Got tired of fighting with the bottles.

Super-geeky DIYers hold their soldering iron like a light saber and make whoosh-whoosh noises.

Shit, I forgot that's today. Didn't stand in line. Will go see what I can still get.

If it was elastic at all, is there a way you can just braid from one end to the other? Oh, and yes: very cool.

Corrosion affects wire most at the connection -- I bet if you cleaned and put the jumpers back (that is, if they weren't broken), you would hear a difference. Sometimes you should do that -- just disconnect, clean, and reconnect. And that goes with RCA cables, too.

Tried the Bodega Norton non-reserva last night -- meh, not as good.

's'awesome.
