While exploiting the tasty grapes of Wine Country this weekend– laced with flavors of oak, pepper, chocolate covered cherries, bird shit, and the like– it occurred to me that at $40+/per bottle, I’d really like to learn the joys and nuances of cheaper wine.

Then it struck me… why are there no poor man’s guides to wine pairing? Like, what wine does pair well with Taco Bell? A nice Savignon Blanc from the corner gas station perhaps. And what goes with Wendy’s? How ’bout a delicious Five Oaks Chardonnay sold exclusively at Rite Aid at 2 for $5 (plus $1 off coupon).

It’s honestly quite good. But you wonder what the heck is in that wine that its so yummy and cost effective? Not sure about you, but I don’t think I want to know. Just kick back and enjoy it like its the hot dog of the wine industry. Contents may include the lips and assholes of grapes.

Probably not. But if humans are smart enough to make money off of crows, why has there not been more blatant crow-sploitation. If you watch this video, like me, you will start brainstorming your own ways to embezzle money from wildlife. So far all I got is coin-operated roach motel massage beds. Maybe a long shot, but if they’re anything like the insects that haunt my apartment, they’re just looking to kick back and have a good time.

My week started with a Dodger game and ended with a Red Carpet. How more LA can it get? But wait, there’s more… An earthquake en route to my movie’s screening! A 5.8 in Chino Hills. Oddly enough, as long as I’ve lived here, I’ve always been out of town for the quakes you can feel. In almost 9 years, this was really my first.

Just finished reading “Rebel Without A Crew,” Robert Rodriguez’s book about the making of and the success that followed “El Mariachi.” It was inspiring, and nice to see there are other freaks out there who’ll work as a crew of one to get a movie made.

Still deciding what my next project is… have a few things I’d like to shoot, but my law documentary is probably itching to be finished first.
