Good news: getting a lot of writing done. Bad news: the last slat fell out of my bed late last night and I had to sleep, for inferior values of "sleep," on the couch. Explanation of bad news: I have an old hand-me-down queen-sized bed (it has appeared in Secret Life pictures a couple of times) that I ended up with after my mother and stepfather got

I know nothing about wine (for one thing, I'm still underage), so until I looked it up my first reaction to "STILL WHITE WINE" was that it was meant to be reassuring.

"DON'T WORRY, NOTHING'S CHANGED, IT'S STILL WHITE WINE. NOBODY'S COME ALONG AND TURNED IT INTO WATER FOR A PARTY TRICK. YOU CAN STILL GET DRUNK OFF THIS!"

Hee.

Just checked for funsies, incidentally, and all that's under my bed are some old posters and flattened boxes and I feel cheated.

I'm way overage, and glad I wasn't the only one who thought that about the still White wine.

[fallingmallorn]

Don't worry. I know the technical term it was referring to and I was still thinking the exact same thing. And I'm 24. And then I thought that perhaps the wine was suffering dissatisfaction and delusion with it's current state:

"DEAR DIARY, STILL WHITE WINE. WANTED TO BE A CABERNET. IT'S ALL MY MOTHER'S FAULT!"

Or possibly an identity crisis and needed a reminder:

"HELLO, MY NAME IS STILL WHITE WINE. I AM NOT A SPARKLING VARIETY AND I NEVER HAVE BEEN."

See, I found it reassuring since it's been under her bed so long. "Still white wine! Still drinkable!"

oh the things one finds when you clean out the area under the bed!!!

Enjoy your mystery wine. =D

I discovered mystery booze in my bedroom closet a few days ago. Sadly, it was Texas Spirit tequila, which is basically rocket fuel in a plastic jug. I've tried giving it away, but it's like a white elephant gift. My law school friends, who as a group are the biggest bunch of drunks I've ever met, won't even touch it.

At least your mystery booze is drinkable?

[cleolinda]

I hope?

Man, that sounds like Aristocrat vodka. Swear to God, that stuff was like paint thinner. Oh, college.

[wearejustducky]

Texas Spirit brand hooch tends to reside on the dusty bottom shelf next to the Aristocrat and the Popov, so your comparison is very accurate.

We used to drink Aristocrat mixed in with Route 44-sized Sonic slushes back in college. It was the only way to kill the burn, plus had the added benefit of letting a person wander around campus while drinking. Hypothetically. Not that I ever participated in such activity while under the legal drinking age. Nope, not me.

Trufax, quadruple-filtering Aristocrat through a Britta pitcher renders it mostly drinkable. Ruins the filter, but hey, some sacrifices have to be made in the name of scientific inquiry.

I forgot about minibottles of Chambord and Grand Marnier behind a picture frame. There's also a condom that says "Admit One," so it seems like the liquor fairy was planning a party.

a condom that says "Admit One,"

BRB, dying of laughter...

[diddakoi]

You know you can screw slats into the bed frame, right?

[meleth]

I'd...actually managed to completely forget about the slat issue in all the Mystery Bed Wine excitement.

[cleolinda]

We really should just do that. The thing is, there's not a whole lot of room--the "ledge" they rest on is pretty narrow. But it's worth a shot.

You could also screw on a cross piece under them just a length of 1x3 down the middle will keep them from shifting.
