Have you seen this??

I log on to facebook today, and here's this extremely creepy picture advertising something vaguely medical (I can't even remember what it was for, I was so distracted by the image). What's going on here? It looks like that baby is growing OUTSIDE of that poor woman's stomach... like a tumor. Who edits this shit?

Rituals Are Very Important

One of my favorite things to do (on a Wednesday) is read the NYTimes Dining Guide's "Wine of the Times", then hop on my bike and ride to my local wine shop to see if they have any of the selections in stock. Most of the time they wont have the exact pick, but they will have something close to it, or better. From there I head to Rocket Video and I rent a movie that compliments the wine. I try to stick to whatever country the wine is from, and I try to choose something I haven't seen before... Sometimes this ends in disaster - but sometimes I find real gems. And every time I find myself surprised at how, just like a good food and wine pairing, the unique aesthetic features of the film bring out the subtle features of the wine, and vice-versa. Here are a few of my favorite pairings...

1. Chateau du Rouet + "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" + "Summer"
