cheesy banality

Last night, the missus and i went to see Shrek 2 (funny and good), before which we had pho.  I ordered Vietnamese coffee (espresso + condensed milk) at around 21:00... bad idea.  Couldn't sleep all night, spent all morning in zombie mode.  We headed to Casa de badiamond and rdiamond for BBQ goodness.  Turns out she's a friend of noted Kibologista Bill "nuke" Newcomb, who was there when we arrived.  Later arrivals included kEvin (who went off on an errand with Rob), gailg, and some_other_dave.  We enjoyed a bottle of Rosemount Estate 2002 Cabernet Merlot blend (very tasty, rich flavor and smooth finish) with the delicious grilled food.  Afterwards, we played RoboRally, which took longer than i expected, but was nonetheless lots of fun.

Well, if I had known you'd be trying some tasty merlot, I would have... Hrr, I made it there as early as I could, so I guess I wouldn't have gotten there in time to try it. Oh well.

RoboRally *always* takes longer than expected. (Even if you try to beat the system by expecting it to take five hours, it will - somehow - take six).

As opposed to Titan, which takes even longer than THAT, and Advanced Civilizations, which takes even LONGER than longer than that.

I have never had a bad wine from the nice folks at Rosemount. Their blends are particularly successful.
