The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

Macaroni Grill Chianti Musings

Cheap wine that begs to be ingested from tumblers. Red and heavy with hints of wine and clobbering overtones of red. Good stuff. Cheap but not from the 3 for $12 wall. A little classier than my usual vino.
Macaroni Grill Chianti is birthday wine. More than one birthday was celebrated over lobster ravioli and tumblers tumblers of red wine punctuated with strong coffee and cannoli at the end.
Macaroni Grille Chianti is first week in Nashville hot August summertime wine. Mommy and me sitting in an apartment with no furniture watching a TV perched on an overturned box drinking wine in the heat that was too hot to go outside.
Two years ago I met my parents at the Montrose extension for my father's somethingth birthday. I was working at the time at the CFB. I was battling a demonic possession that had grown and gestated into a fantastic disaster imprinted as a memory in toothmarks on my right shoulder. I arrived at the restaurant early and got a bracer glass at the bar as I waited for my parents. . The feeling was somewhere between being 15 years old and hiding a hickey and being 26 and wondering where the nearest AA meeting was. The dinner was delicious. For a chain the food is just so good. I could really go for a trip right now.
The last time I even made an attempt to eat at a MG was last Opry Plaza party-we were hungry. I wanted cheap red wine. Instead we ended up at 2 for 1 night at Chili's and somewhere in there the night gets hazy and I lost my necklace. Never got any red wine tho.
It's good for you red wine. It's got-I dunno vitamin C and stuff.
