hypnotized

melinda sent me on an errand to pick up a bottle of wine for our mini-bbq. she had to give me thorough instructions since i'd never bought wine before and had only ever been in the liquor store one and a half times. i did a decent job, but i can't take the credit for my selection. it was mostly melinda combined with random luck. we had a lovely time sitting in the richka's vintage garden, eating beets and spicy turkey sausages. it's good to have her back on this landmass.

perhaps i'm passive-aggressive. perhaps i'm aggressive-aggressive. all i know is i find the best way to cope and then i hold on for dear life. sometimes that involves running away from the direction of my wants. i'll just leave my coat behind. i can get another fishing rod.

everyone has their reasons, but i'm not buying yours.

it's over my head.

choosing wine is always based on random luck unless you've had it before...
