Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry
Do you know what show I'm really digging? The Good Wife. There's just something about it that is compelling... (and it's definitely not Chris Noth). I really am enjoying the female characters - Kalinda and Alicia especially (and their dynamic), but also Christine Baranski's character is really interesting. Just when I think she's a stereotypical power lawyer, she does something to turn that notion on its head. That's probably a testament to Christine Baranski's acting more than anything, but so far the writing has been pretty sharp overall. Is anyone else watching?

I am so excited about the wine I bought for Thanksgiving (that's my task this year - get the wine. Oh, and help make the mashed potatoes): 2007 La Crema Pinot Noir (usually I am all about the Oregon Pinots, rather than the ones from CA, but this had really good reviews, so I thought we'd give it a whirl); an Oregon Pinot Gris, from Lachini Vineyards (2008), which should pair really well with the turkey; and a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck Brut for some bubbly!

I bought outdoor LED Christmas lights and a timer at the hardware store last weekend and then returned them because I really need to stop spending so much money. (Note: wine does not count; wine is something that you *should* spend money on. ;) Anyway, I have plenty of indoor Christmas decorations I can put up, and maybe next year I can venture to outdoor decorating. I do always put up a door wreath - but that I can make for free by walking outside and trimming some fir and cedar. This is the Evergreen State after all!
