I got a barstool
for my own use in the kitchen

I need something to sit on while cooking
and the kitchen furniture
is too tall to be effective

It is a nice wooden stool
and
I am happy about it

itsy bitsy light bulbs
for the ceiling fan in my bedroom
because I can stand those cheese ass
clear light bulbs that are supposedly shaped
to look like flames
and
regular sized bulbs
dont fit

I got a small round of sour dough bread
and a sliced loaf of 12 grain
both baked fresh this morning
and they smell entirely delicious

I picked up a small assortment of fresh pasta
as I have neither the inclination
nor have I located my tools
need to make my own

a few sodas
a can opener
and some yummy mulled brown cider later
and I was finished



then it was off to the liquor store.

now up here all alcohol must be sold by a liquor store
so no wine or beer at the grocery store
which is pretty lame
but anyway

I picked up a case of wine
a nice spread of varitals
which I had been wanting to try



I got a merlot from chile
two cabs from australia
another cab from chile
a chilean merlot
two italian chiantis
an italian soave
two french bordeaux
[one rouge, one blanc]
a french beaujolais
and lastly
a french Pinot Noir


and I also picked up
a bottle of Goslings rum
by special directive

which was quite tasty
so I tip my hat for the suggestion

went home
put away said goodies
and
headed out for my billiards night

some of you may recall
that last week I score a perfect score
obtaining eighty points out of a possible eighty points

well
lets just say
this was not last week
and
the only thing I managed to win
was a freakin tshirt

of course
that was fairly odd in itself
considering
it was a raffle type thing
and
I do not believe I even entered
the drawing

of course
I just shrugged
and
accepted that
sometimes
it is just good to be the king
