Walla Walla: A town for winos

It occurred to me that I've had a lot of wine this week, and I didn't really pay for a drop of it.

The glass of wine is as ubiquitous here as dandelions and lilacs, but this spring lasts the year round. I tasted 13 wines today, at work, before lunch. I took three bottles home. I don't know what to do with them, and I was hoping you'd help me.

Haphazard, like a drunk white lady, I stumble through Walla Walla life, without having to worry about being sober enough to get back on the plane to Seattle.

Rapidly advancing technological world confronts man: a blog

The choice is simple. Fear or resignation.

Here is a list of very outdated technologies for which I am neither nostalgic nor longing, but which I have used in my lifetime:

Rotary phones
Incandescent light bulbs
Tape-recording answering machines
Disposable 35mm cameras
Phone books
Checks
Purchasing CDs and Tapes

But then again, I wonder if I have too many toes wet in the technology pool. For instance, I realized this week that I have Facebook and MySpace accounts, a new twitter account, and a blog, all of which I can manage at virtually any time from my smart phone. It has become time to ask myself if this is my salvation or damnation, although both effects are not entirely contrary.
Wanted: a long walk.

WATCHMEN!

OMG. We loved Watchmen. All of us. Except Luna didn't see it, but we know she'll love it, too. There's a lot of blog buzz about Dr. Manhattan's big blue cock. Check it out.
