Football, Wine & Movies

I am, and always will be, a die hard Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. But in 2008 I met the love of my life, my fiance, a die hard New York Jets fan. I cannot stress right now how pleased I am with the Jets organization. Minutes ago, they planted defeat on my arch-enemy/number one nemesis/disgusting team: the New England Patriots. The Bill Beli-cheat and Tom Gaydy "dynasty" just went down!

What?

No rule invented to allow the Patsies a victory and eventual run at the Lombardi Trophy? 

*GASP!*

Time for a new, refreshing spotlight to be turned on. One without conspiracy and cheating.

Whilst watching the aforementioned defeat, I sipped on a red wine I recently tried at a wine tasting: Cupcake Vineyards Malbec. I don't understand how wines are rated and reviewed using such words as "plums," "chocolate," "honeydew," or  "lemongrass." All I think about when I drink wine is, "Mmm, old grapes," or "I wonder how Jesus described this back in the day..." 

I must say though, my taste in wine is maturing. I like the driest whites, i.e. Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. I'm still feeling out the reds. It's going to take some time for my taste buds to adjust to the punch that red wines pack.

Whilst watching the aforementioned defeat and sipping on red wine, a new movie trailer came on at a commercial break. They had me at, "From Executive Producer James Cameron..." I will admit that I have not seen Avatar, and have no interest to, but he stole my movie-loving heart with The Abyss and Titanic. This film is called Sanctum and goes back to what James Cameron knows best- water. In short, it's a film about some people who venture into the world's biggest cave and get stuck underground when a Tropical Storm inhibits them from getting out. To escape, they have to swim through the caves labyrinths to some ocean-fed exit. Or something like that. 

No matter, I'm sure I'll love it.
