Woohoo, it’s the first FRT part 2 of the new year! In a few hours, I’ll be on a plane back to New York, chipmunk-cheeked and chock full of vicadin. Wish me a speedy recovery, a de-swollen face, and a bigger and better music collection in the coming year, so as to even come close to the coolness quotient of my co-blogger.

No Friday Random Wine this week, because of the painkillers. But I am bringing four bottles of Charles Shaw with me back to New York (for those who don’t know the beauty of 2-buck Chuck, I am so sorry; petition your city for a Trader Joe’s). So assuming I don’t get some sort of horrible wisdom teeth-related complication, next Friday will be a party.
Take it easy with the teeth (or should I say the places where the teeth used to be?). Basic rule, as I’m sure you know, is that if the painkillers aren’t doing much about the pain, it’s time to go and get things looked at. Hoping for no complications and quick de-chipmunking.
Indeed, a quick recovery, filled with sweet dreams of Anderson Cooper.
And “Ol ’55″ is a beautiful track.
My local Trader Joes doesn’t have a liquor license, so no Chuck for me :(
Or not. They sell that stuff in the grocery store here, next to the wine that comes in a box. (Liquor laws in your state may vary)
I was skeptical, but everybody kept going on about it, so I decided to try the ‘two-buck chuck’ for myself.
Holy shit! It’s way better than a two-dollar bottle of wine has any right to be. What a blessing.
