    I'm reading Potshot by Robert Parker (not the wine person) – he just died and I'm going into severe withdrawal and mourning so I looked up a book I didn't think I'd read yet.
    Since Conan O'Brien has gone off the air I'm going into another severe withdrawal/mourning state – I still have Charlie Rose and Wine Library. I actually watched Twilight New Moon and am still trying to figure out how a nice girl chooses only monsters (cute monsters but nonetheless monsters) to fall in love with.
    LIstening to Janet Evanovich mystery tapes in my car – . Just listened to Simon Boccanegra (Verdi) but prefer Puccini (La Boheme). Going back to some of Chaka Khan.

    Am feeling sick every time I drink alcohol lately – so every sense I have seems to be disappointing me in some way.

    Cahors sounds so interesting. I'll bet the “h” is not pronounced.

    BOOKS: just finished “The Magus” by John Fowles (most excellent), “Sirens of Titan” by Kurt Vonnegut next. MUSIC: Sage Francis, mc chris, my sing-a-long playlist (crooners, Motown, older country, classic rock), and a Brit Pop mix for the driving times. TV/MOVIES: Current shows are back episodes of WLTV, since I only discovered it about a month ago, and “Man to Man with Dean Learner” which is a must if you enjoy the Mighty Boosh/Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Last night's movies were 'The Road' (written by the author of 'No Country For Old Men') and a quirky Japanese horror pic called 'Uzumaki'.
