There’s something indescribably meta about promoting this game on a blog. Don’t you wish that it came with a multiplayer mode? Oh wait, it does.

Wine Blogging
I am drinking a bottle of Pinot Evil right now, and for the first time in a long time when having a new wine, I am underwhelmed. It has a pleasant look and aroma, but it just finishes poorly. Kind of vinegary, and not the kind of fullness I usually expect from a good pinot noir.
Oh, well. If I have two more glasses I won’t care anyway.

On second thought, I will just cork it and give it to my friend who has a tongue and palate seemingly made of boot leather. The Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc is ready to be uncorked. I will get back to you.

Jackpot! Light, refreshing, with a delightful citrus taste and aroma. This is a refreshing, sit on the deck and enjoy on a cool spring afternoon kind of wine. I see more of this in my future.
Most Terrifying Headline Ever
If you read this story, it is not even remotely funny, but it does have the most terrifying headline ever:
Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital
Lynchings AND penis theft? That can’t be good for tourism.
Consider this an open thread.

BTW- The Day After is currently showing on the SciFi channel. I have not seen that movie since I was 12-13 years old. I remember another movie that terrified me when I was a kid was Gray Lady Down- there was a scene where they had to close off a hatch and drown a sailor. Still remember that.
*** Update #2 ***
I had forgotten Dorfman was in The Day After…
