Que Shiraz Shiraz

Update: I have a latest mini-obsession. I started buying wine last week and since then I have been drinking a class almost every night.

My parents have become winos over the past few years and after I turned 21 (actually probably before) I would on occasion drink a glass with them during dinner. I was itching for a light buzz a few nights ago and I was not looking forward to the bloaty aftermath of a cold beer so I bought a bottle of wine instead. After scouring the local package store (i.e. southern liquor store; you can use that one with your friends and boggle their minds; it sure as hell boggles mine), I finally found one of my mother's suggested bottles. It's called House Wine. It is a delicious red made from a mixture of grapes. Plus, the label looks like a child wrote the name and then drew a big house in the middle, which just made it that much better.

Now I am sipping on a Shiraz. I couldn't place the taste of a Shiraz when I was at the PACKAGE store so I bought a trial bottle. If you have a suggestion of a wine you like let me know. Oh, and please keep it in a poor student's price range.

In other news, one of the roomies' boyfriends stayed here over the weekend. It just so happens that her bed is directly above mine. Needless to say I am happy that he is leaving in a few minutes as I will not have to fall asleep to the squeak of her bed tonight. I have not talked to her that much while he has been here, but I am not sure how long I can hold in my burning question: What intense non-sex act (she is a virgin; correction, as of Friday that was her status, now I'm not so sure) were they performing to create that much squeak?

Lastly, in my news, Loverboy and I have made the decision to live with each other during my summer break. I am looking for full-time tutoring positions around his apartment. On top of that, I am trying to find a third roommate to fill in for me during the summer and stay after Cat-Obsessed Roommate moves out in August. Know anybody?* If you do, send them to my ad on Craigslist.com (i.e. my second current obsession).

*Perhaps if you got a hold of Georgia Niecy, she would accept the offer.

I Need Advice

What is a good way to say, "Bitch, you drank the rest of my milk and now I am pissed at you?" without turning the situation into a big situation?
