C!
Wine of the day: Carménère (French, Italian, Chilean... red, aromatic, medium-bodied)
Cheese of the day: Camembert (French, soft-ripened)
Fruit of the day: Cranberry (The tartness goes very well with cheese.)
Movie of the day: "Constantine" (Heavy drama with religious and spiritual themes. Darkly beautiful. Best Tilda Swindon role ever! {Gabriel the Archangel} Based on the comic book "Hellblazer".)
Album of the day: "Challengers" by The New Pornographers (One of my favourite albums by one of my absolute favourite bands!)
Book of the day: "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephanson (Epic.)
Country of the day: Czech Republic (An Eastern European country with a lot of heavy history! Prague was going to house the only synagogue on the planet as a symbol of a dead race if Hitler had his way. Kutna Hora is known for it artistic Ossuary. A fascinating place!)
I've tried reading Neil Stephanson a few times but could never get into it.
ReplyDeleteOoo Constantine! Great flick!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Constantine. Love the picture of the Czech Republic. I've never been there, but I do have family from that area.
ReplyDeleteNew follower here. I’m enjoying reading my fellow “A to Z”ers. I look forward to visiting again.

Neat stuff - will be back.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the simplicity of your posts--a gorgeous image for each post. Look forward to seeing D.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Army of Darkness! I remember the Whatzamanomicron!
ReplyDeleteAnd methinks that Czechoslovakia must have changed a lot since the last time I was there
ReplyDeleteHorst, Stephanson is not for everyone. He's super geeky and really does go on at length over geeky bits that most people find terribly boring. I happen to be a geek so I love his work! But he doesn't write endings. His books just sort of stop. It's weird.
ReplyDeleteWilma, I so wish I could have come to your blogger's wine & cheese (you may have noticed I like that combination. :P) but I had my last choir concert. Please do it again and keep me posted!
Tim, Czechoslovakia is no more. But yeah, I imagine the area has changed a fair bit since then. Army of Darkness? I know not of what you speak. :P
Thanks to all for the lovely comments!
aww I love this picture - I was theeere! :)
