thought over a glass (or two) of wine

 is there anyone out there?  anyone still stop by the zoo?  i’d be surprised if there was.  i seem to update this diary less and less all the time, which is to bad.  i stop by, look around, read an entry or two and then move on.  i haven’t been in the mood to write lately.  mainly because there isn’t much going on and i don’t have much to write about. 

guns and are done-done.  i’ve tried to go back through and pick through the wreckage and figure out what happened.  i’m still in some shock, the aftermath has been too crazy and upsetting.  

i had a phone interview a week ago yesterday at one of the universities here in the hoosier state.  i think it went okay, but phone interviews are not my strong suit.  i think it would be a very cool job.  and it certainly would be the first step into the career i want, but there are so many more experienced librarians than me that i have a hard time getting seen.  

i’m having some wine and listening to my chet baker channel on pandora.  i love chet baker’s music and that style of jazz.  its a little bit more smooth than miles davis’ jazz.  don’t get me wrong, though, i love miles davis, particularly his older stuff before he started to get all funk-di-fied.  

i’m drinking a soft white wine.  it’s a little sweeter than i usually have, i’m more of a dry wine drinker, but i’ve discovered the soft white and soft red from a local winery and i really quite enjoy them.  it also has a nice finish, that i wish i could describe, but i can’t, except to say that it kind of grabs the back of my tongue as i swallow the wine.  it leaves a nice clean aftertaste, too.  its probably a very good after-dinner wine.  maybe a dessert wine, but i think that might be too much.  maybe pair it with some fruit that has a bite, strawberries, perhaps.  

i tend to be more of a shiraz/merlot drinker.  i like my wines to be full bodied (just like my women, right kdawg?)  wine drinking is something i started about a year ago, but after i met guns i really started to enjoy it.  learning about wine is something i’m thankful she taught me.  i promise you, i’m not pining about her, just kind of giving some reason why i’m drinking wine and not something more "manly" like jim beam… i can’t do that any more.  its just.. too dangerous.  

the retail season is getting ready to heat up.  i’m hoping it will be a better year than last year, i think it will, actually.  maybe its because sales have started earlier and christmas seems to have started before halloween this year.  it seems folks are opening their wallets a tad wider this year.  

i don’t have much else.  i think i’m gonna enjoy my wine and my jazz.
