lagilmanThis has been one of those weeks, so far, where things get done but very little of it is the stuff you had planned to get done. Still, progress is progress.
And speaking of progress, we now have pre-order links for SILVER from Amazon, iTunes, and Kobo. No B&N yet, which is making me slightly fretful...
This morning we are moderately socked in with fog, which is pretty to look at from up here (it started low on the water and then rose up to obscure the mountains), but isn't helping me shake the brain fog. Putting aside writing and revising in favor of research and website work (slowly, the Devil's West portion of the site comes into being....).
Working my way through the selection of under-$15 bottles of wine I picked up at Total Wine. So far, a grand total of two have made me think "yeah, I might buy this again" rather than "meh, it was drinkable." Probably proof that there are plenty of decent $15 wines, but my tastebuds have $25 tastes.
On the non-work side, I'm just going to say that if you gripe or sulk about the fact that I have to schedule my social life around the fact that my cat needs an insulin shot, odds are that you're not making me want to spend more time with you. And people who are cool with the feline schedule needs are among my favorite people in the world rght now.
The "acceptable" reds were Phenolia Red Blend 2013 ($12) and Apex Cellars The Catalyst 2012 ($15). Neither blew me out of the water, but I didn't regret spending the money on them, either. The fact that both are blends is not a surprise - that's how you get a better cheap wine, rather than relying on a single varietal.
