an october glory

this weekend tattiya and i went to solvang
(i.e. the movie sideways), where we consumed delicious cheeses
and tasted many wines and got crunx in the beautiful afternoon backdrop of the dutchish small towns and the rows upon rows of grapes (not simultaneously).

highlights:

-watching resident evil: extinction, which i snuck a bottle of wine into (and we were also fortunate enough to see the chubby kid behind the front desk making out--with his ass on the counter, mind you--with his girl on our way out of the movie). oh, the movie was fun too.

-visiting foley's winery.

-receiving foley's winery's free wine glasses.

-taking foley's winery's employee's atv ride, courteously offered by a denim-clad wine protector to your young couple when we stumbled upon a patch of grapes (meaning to picnic near them, of course) which had recently been sprayed with chemicals. the caring employee gave us a gorgeous ride through the fields on the back of his four-wheeler. awesome city.

-listening to so much creedence clearwater revival. i'm still of the firm belief that it's the supreme california soundtrack-to-our-lives music. i banged on the roof.

-driving around the countryside (while banging on the roof).

-battling in scrabble-off october2k7:

round one. i win:


round two. i lose:



glorious end result:
.

-watching sideways went we got home in order to re-live our experience and look at the places we had been to replicated by the motion picture.
