party leftovers

isaac has continued to make a great deal of progress on his construction work in the kitchen. we now have a refridgerator/microwave case and more cabinets and counterspace than we'll know what to do with. as things were being shifted around last night i came upon this photoblog-entry-waiting-to-happen. these bottles have been sitting on the counter this way since i returned after the new year. apparently they're a few of the wine bottles that were sampled by the 40-odd guests at what has been called the best party of 2003 (and possibly 2004) that took place at our house on new year's eve. at one point i thought about doing the bottles-per-person math but gave up when the two numbers began to look about the same.

no big plans for the weekend. we may begin work on the loft up in our bedroom tomorrow, and mesh and i are meeting with bill (of the pulse) to discuss valentines day stories. thus far, we've had trouble coming up with any interesting ideas, probably because no one actually likes this holiday. And yet, the idea of taking a caustic, or at least cynical, approach to a holiday devoted to love seems a little in bad taste...anti-valentines-day partys notwithstanding.
