the main impression i had of the buena vista cabernet sauvignon 2002 was “peppery.” it was okay, but another wine that i wouldn’t seek out.

it’s probably time to actually give some other types of wine more of a shot. i’ve been sticking with the cabernet sauvignons because i knew there was at least one that i had liked.

i think it’s time for another trader joe’s run this weekend.

training day is a fine film in the corrupt-lapd-cops tradition. (like the shield, which has its season five premiere tonight.) denzel washington does an amazing job, and the role is nearly the complete opposite of anything else i can remember seeing him in.

training day is also partially set in the part of los angeles that ryan of losanjealous likes (along with hexod.us). gritty, but still sunny.
