Household appliances and raw meat

Tim was digging into the refridgerator and opened up a container of bits of semi-cooked bacon; unfortunately, with so wee room to set anything down in our make shift kitchen/living/dining room, he dropped the pink pork product on our flat's beautiful brown (insert sarcasm here) carpet. Naturally a string of loud and emphatic swear words were strewn about the room, but it was the strange squealing noise that the vacuum was making that prompted me to look at Tim with a questioning look.

"Maybe that's because I just vacuumed up raw meat?" I guess there are just certain things you don't expect to hear; that was one of them.

We went to see Sideways last night. It was a very intelligent and deliberate story. Deliberate as in slow, but not in a bad way; it was sort of how I would like to view and live life (not either character, just the pace).

Tagline: In search of wine. In search of women. In search of themselves.

Plot Outline: Two men reaching middle age with not much to show but disappointment, embark on a week long road trip through California's wine country, just as one is about to take a trip down the altar.

See it if you like wine; leave the movie liking it more or never wanting a Pinot Grigio again.
