España. Driving north from Madrid to the wine country called Ribera del Duero. Had one of their wines last night and it was very good. Not a lot of “character” which I was glad of. More like Bordeaux than Rioja.
So I was just remarking on how much it looks like eastern Oregon on this drive. Except that that when you pass a building it looks like this.

Okay, so that RED wine that I survived third-degree burns in my mouth all across America to create is nearly ready. The presale goes online
[fergcorp_cdt_single date=”Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:20:00″]
This wine if you’ll remember is designed to bring the old world red wine experience to spicy foods. Something I’ve been hoping for years that someone else would do.
I spent the last tour across the US trying to figure out what and why red wine tends to make spicy go blistering in RED wine. I ended up getting a lot of help, advice, and experience and finally came up with a blend of two fairly obscure Sicilian grapes that deliver an earth and mineral old world red with a vaguely bright opening bouquet. Do I sound like an asshole yet? Well I’m pretty serious about wine so believe me, this is beautiful in the order of older Borolo, Rioja and Bordeaux or even a little Barbaresco except bigger.
You’ll shit. It’s awesome.

(2007) This is a great film and I think we can all agree that as a whole comedians are the coolest people in the world but if they read their own press they’re an idiot. |

These are my relatives with whom I stay twice a year (only spring and fall because of humidity) and basically just do this. They live outside Jackson Mississippi. A week before tour I noticed that we had a day off in Jackson so of course I had to hook it up. I couldn’t believe that I got to bring most of my closest friends there on tour this year. Crazy. What a day.

This guy can really write an amazing sentence or fifty. So much smart n snappy dialogue that I find myself skimming over it sometimes in the hope of getting to a pocket of plot.
Now there are several pretty major subplots intertwining til ya don’t know which is imperative and I usually like that, but there’s some kind of cheese in the mix here thats not working for my palette. It gets boring-ish fairly regularly but he’s just such a great thinker and writer of amazing sentences that I’m definitely sticking it out til the end. I’m halfway thru now.

Ready Player One. Holyfrigginmole’. The most fun you can have alone with your clothes on. Uber nerd shit taken to a new level. Or maybe to its logical conclusion.
It’s like he wrote a sci fi novel for the sole purpose of name checking the zillion things (video games, sci fi books/80s movies etc) he loves the most. And he ended up being really really good at it.
Get this book.
And by the way I love that he name checks Richard K Morgan in the same breath as William Gibson, Neil Stephenson and JRR Tolkein. Hellzyes.
