In Vino, Veritas

So I went to a wine tasting event today! Or yesterday, I suppose, as it's now after midnight. It's a huge trade show a local art museum sponsors every year, tied in with an auction. I was returning for my second year, as I fully intend to keep learning about wine even if I don't necessarily sell it anymore.

I spent the majority of the event hanging out with a friend of mine, Daniel- he's one of the few friends I have that has a similar appreciation for wine as I do. We were having a grand old time, venturing from booth to booth, and I happened to run into my old supervisors from the retail job. One I had expected awkward, stilted conversation with, and I wasn't disappointed. The other, however, was much colder to me than I had anticipated. We had been friends back in the day, or at least I thought so, and seeing him today he was far more brief with me than I expected.

Really, I could be completely over-analyzing the encounter. I have a habit of doing that. But it wouldn't be the first time I was treated differently by old friends because of my choice to take a paycut and get back into the kitchen. C'est la vie, I'll just let it be, and it'll all turn out in the end.

Melody of Life!

I love music- almost any music, really. There is a time and a place for any song! Most of it depends on my moods. When I cook, you can catch me listening to Josh Groban or Disturbed; unless I'm at work. Then I'm inexplicably humming Disney musicals.

J enjoys long car rides with me, because I also happen to be a country music fan and he finds my ability to sing along wit just about any song on the radio hilarious. Martina McBride, I am not, but I am enthusiastic!

The movie of my life would have the most confused soundtrack ever when it comes down to it. But hopefully it'd be fun to listen to! My current favorite songs I'd put on it would be:

Everybody Else, 'Meat Market'
Dean Martin, 'Ain't That A Kick in the Head?'
Uncle Kracker, 'Smile'
Josh Groban, 'So She Dances'
Sara Evans, 'As If'
Martina McBride, 'My Baby Loves Me'
Billy Joel, 'Our Italian Restaurant'
Queen, anything by them. Fucking love queen!
Chicago soundtrack, 'Cellblock Tango'
Macklemore, 'Thrift Shop'
Aerosmith, 'Sweet Emotion'
Bon Jovi, 'You Give Love (A Bad Name)'
Iron Maiden, 'Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter'
Little Mermaid, 'Kiss the Girl'
