The Wonk

Wine(o) of the Weak!

This week I decided to try a white wine. I used to think that I did not like chardonnays because I felt they were too rich and oakey. Then I tried the chard from Alice White and fell in love.




Its a little sweeter than most chards, which is why I think I like it. Its also from Australia, and it turns out I have a bit of a thing for Australian wines. And I totally discovered my love for Australian (and South African) wines when I lived in Amsterdam a few years (OK, its was 10 years. Sue me.) ago before it was hip. So there. I am not sure of the exact price, but I know its under $10. I think it runs about $8 a bottle. Click here if you want to read about its fancypants accolades, not just a recommendation from a dedicated wino.

Cheers!

Bloggy Giveaways!!!

Sorry, I am a little late in the game for this one but I am a little new to blogging. My Technical Advisor is baby-stepping me through this.
So I'm giving away a $30 Payless Shoe Source gift card to add to your cute spring/summer shoe collection, or for your kids with rapidly growing feet.

To enter this giveaway leave a comment on this post, preferably a really bad joke, then head on over to Bloggy Giveaways for more fun and giveaways. The winner will be chosen at random, meaning my cats Lola and Taco del Gato will be picking the name out for me much like they choose my March Madness picks. They're kinda like feline Ouija boards. Trust me on that. Keep in mind, Taco beat out a lot of humans in my work pool!! I will let the winner know Saturday afternoon. Good Luck!

Amy Wino, looking better than ever.


Pete Doherty. At least he has good taste in scarves!

You know, I am really not trying to pick on Amy Winehouse, or the Brits in general or anything, but according to a recent poll, Wino and Pete Doherty are the Number 1 and and Number 2 Heroine and Hero respectively for people under 25. Well, I think that they are fine choices. Just look at them! They just exude such positive energy! Prime examples of health and sobriety! I am sure every parent would be so proud to know that that's what their children are aspiring to be. The next generation of British kids are going to be sooooooo cool! Or dead. Not sure which yet.

But seriously folks, Pete does have rad taste in scarves. If you can be that screwed up, shirtless, and still sport some Burberry, your A++++ in my book. Oh, crap! Does that make me as crazy as those wacky Brits?? No, surely not! I am as sane as, ummmm, a totally sane person. Oops, gotta go. Nurse Ratchet says its time for my meds.

Creepiest Headline EVER!

I'll give you a hint. It involves nomads who might have small hands and possibly smell like cabbage.

Behold! Pete Burns!

So this guy is apparently very famous in the UK for several reasons. Partially for being in a band, Partially for his stint on Big Brother UK, and, hmmmm, what else? It seems like there is something I'm missing.... Oh yeah! He's mostly famous for being freakin' bloody bat-sh*t crazy! As you may have noticed, he likey-likey the plastic surgery just a bit too much. He also wears clothing that's made from the skin of endangered animals and brags about it on national TV. I'm totally serious. The fine UK Bobbies somehow picked up on this and secretly removed a coat from the Big Brother house and did DNA to confirm that it was in fact made of a species of endangered monkeys. Nice, well done. As if this is not attention whoring enough, a sex tape starring Ole Petey-boy(?) with his BF has recently, and "mysteriously" been "leaked" on to the interwebz. And I am soooooo going to try to track it down and watch it because I'm messed up like that. Actually, its more like scientific research (Right, Mom*? That counts doesn't it? I'm ready for my PhD now!). I just want to see how the, shall we say, mechanics of The Sex works with them. Does Petey still have a Mini-Petey? Do they do it in a heart shaped bed or a dungeon? Pitcher or Catcher? I am calling that he is versatile. So many questions.... Must get answers! I'll update after I have completed my thesis.

Peace out-
Dr. Wonk

*For alls y'alls that don't know, Momz is a kick-ass scientist. And should totally give me a PhD, for like, General Awesomeness, cuz I'm pretty sure that's like a totally real degree, yo!

My New Super Rad Kicks

These are the shoes my BF surprised my with as a gift the other night. He also bought himself the same ones, but in boy-version. Suh-weet!
