So blessed


I/we have been so blessed this year. It’s been a long time since I had this feeling. It had been pretty rough in the past few years. Then all of the sudden, things seemed to come together.

On 12/31/2012, we saw Skyfall at the theater. I loved the movie. The plot was delicate. Beautiful story line and filmed well. The only thing I complained was I thought it was odd that M was shot. I mean, she only encountered the gunman once and thus the bullet had to travel an odd angle for her to be wounded so seriously. Anyways, we left the parking lot after the movie and the parking ticket and the voucher could not be processed correctly. Then the guy at the booth said: I don’t know what’s going on. You guys can just go ahead. So we got free parking.

Then the next day, I knitted all day.

We ran 32 km in the first week. I was very happy with the progress. Although my knee felt funny after the Saturday long run so I have been taking it easy this week.

I met with some friends on Sunday and had Thai food. We played Settlers of Catan afterwards. I won. At the Thai restaurant, my friend got free Thai ice tea (for no reason).

Work has been easy so far. I mean, yeah, my bossed annoyed me once but aside from that, it has been pleasant.

I was somewhat frustrated with my knitting because the sizes were either too big or too small. I had to unravel two gloves.

These are my new babies; I still need to make the flop for the brown one. It fitted the Chris perfectly so I am happy.

Green little eye got interviews with U Mass and the rescheduling with Bridgeport seemed to have came through. He is interviewing with 8 programs and got 10 invitations in total. I am also visiting New Orleans in two weeks!


2013’s New Year resolution is to run more.

Preignes Pinot Noir

Vin de Pays d'Oc
South of France: Languedoc

Pinot Noir: 100%

Preignes represents a true Pinot Noir: soft notes of leather, cedar, and sweet spices are balanced perfectly with red berry fruits, soft alluring tannins round out the palate. As this wine opens up richer deeper notes of tobacco and mocha ground this beauty and make a true delight.

感想:

from bottle, 聞起來有醬油的味道
外觀 - berry purple
香味 - floral, sweet, berry, 醃漬李子
實飲 - thin body, light finish, bitter

結論:
不喜歡。沒有很多層次和flavor,感覺很dull,而且不順口
