Rohmeresque Sleep Deprivation

Now that we have Netflix, we no longer sleep, but spend all our evenings watching DVDs. We try to watch as many as possible so that we can mail them back quickly and get new DVDs the next day.

We're currently on a Eric Rohmerathon. I had no idea that Eric Rohmer was so prolific and had no idea that there are actually 32 separate films in the Moral Tales series. There are numerous other series left to view and I think we can go all the way through the end of January watcher Rohmer films.

I suspect you need to speak French to really enjoy these films. They are endlessly chatty and intrigued by language and everyone is married and having an affair. They are almost the American stereotype of French romantic culture.

They also go well with Grignolino!

Go figure!

I was shocked to learn today that the sheriff does not even read my blog.

His only input here is to write silly comments!

Grignolino, not gringnolino...

If Netflix had an oenological equivalent, perhaps I'd be able to find some Grignolino. As it stands, however, I'm at a loss.
