There's a large banner hanging outside the Vancouver art gallery right now, and looking at it from the bus, I noticed some characters in an odd font, off to the left of it, that looked like hiragana. 'Te ra', I read (てら), and felt pretty pleased with myself for a couple of moments before I realized it was actually a seventy-five.

Did I ever ask my weblog about the bottle of wine that I received for my birthday? I don't think I did. It came from Rowen; I don't drink, but I respect the cultural provenance of alcohol as a birthday gift. What should I do with it? It's been sitting perplexingly in my kitchen for three months now. Suggestions so far include:
  • Give it to somebody else who wants it (probably my sister).

  • Learn to cook with it.

  • Use it to christen a ship.

Whoops, 'provenance' doesn't mean what I mean by 'provenance'. I wonder what does?

Also, since Rachel has been making puppy eyes at me, I suppose that if you respond to this post, I will sketch an interpretation of one of your livejournal interests in MS Paint.

Christen a ship. Clearly the best option. Or build yourself a raft, and christen that.

Has it been only three months, now? My memory is so short. T_T Already that whole trip seems faded and, y'know, something I "did once", as opposed to "just got back from".

December, January, February. It feels long ago for me, too; I tried to write 'four months'.

There isn't really liable to be a ship in my life, alas. (I refuse to christen my dog.)

God's got a new dress, I see. And are you implying she's a bearded lady, or are those man-boobs?

No no: it's Prophetica. As you know, adding 'ica' to the end of any word makes it feminine!

You could bring it to my house and I'll cook you something awesome with it!! Red or white?

And I'd love an interest sketch... I don't know a smiley with puppy eyes though.

That's an attractive enough offer that you probably win. (What would you cook?) It is a white wine; a "Sonora Ranch Savignon Blanc", whatever that implies.

Wella. Most of the things I can think of off the top of my head would involve pasta... do you like shrimp? 'Cause they're very good in a white wine lemon butter reduction type thing, with a pinch of saffron, over pasta and maybe spinach or greens... or if you're not into the pasta thing pears poached in white wine are also quite lovely, with some blackberry ginger sauce....

It's true that I'm not much one for pasta, although I do like shrimp. Those pears, though, sound absurdly tasty.

The fate of the wine is hereby sealed!

Well, my family doesn't drink, but apparently we do still have gift-alcohol...so we use it for bruises. Just rub it on the bruise and it'll heal "faster". :)

That's somehow a little unsettling.

My ambition for your picture is to end up drawing something other than a bulge-eyed, bearded person.

If you are willing to accept the fact that I have no stated interests for which to punify, but can instead come up with something I have an interest in on your own, I submit myself for the reception of a MSPaint thingy

Maybe you could make a ship. Out of food. And then christin it. And then you could give it away. That way, you would have done all three of the suggestions!

I liked that house that Richard built as our campfire one night. Although that hardly has anything to do with this.

Do I win a picture? Please? Yummy?
