Thursday

I'm really happy for the Red Sox. I'm not a sports fan at all, but I'm glad they've finally done it.

Its looking more like fall outside my cubicle window each day. We'll carve our pumpkins this weekend and get together our halloweenie stuff next week. I'm not sure what we'll be up to all weekend, but I know we'll be wearing our LOTR costumes to a party on next Saturday night.

I got some homework done yesterday (finding and reading journal articles), though I'm really having a creative block with this midterm. I need to spend time tonight just thinking, brainstorming, and trying to get *something* down on the laptop.

I'm getting someone a couple of bottles of wine for a gift after work, and I'm wondering what the best way to wrap them is. Is there anywhere I can buy wine bottle boxes (I figured, I'd put them and some other small things into a larger box to disguise what the gift really is)? I want to protect them since they'll be kicking around a bit. This will be the first time I've purchased alcohol on my own (because the last time I was drinking I was underage, and still giving other people money to get me things).

wine bags

Depending where you go, many wine stores now also sell "wine bags" - long bags that fit a regular (750ml) bottle. I know for certain Matingnetti's in Brighton (on Soldiers Field) has them.
