Grand Larseny

Now that I’ve published this, I can’t deny it.  I have actually bought not one, but two Kanye West albums in the past few days.  Don’t worry, though; I’ve managed to keep the smug hipster level sky high since I bought the “Explicit” version just because it was truer to the artist intent.  Good grief I’m unbearable.

Heart to heart, they are good albums.  I wouldn’t say they are amazingly great or groundbreaking, but they have devistating hooks and seem to avoid pop superficiality in both composition and lyrics.  Although I could be wrong.  There are a lot of songs that I take to be satire that might, in fact, be more of an ode.

So, there it is.  I bought a Kanye West album and I liked it.  (which reminds me of another song that is slowly quickly killing our culture and i wont talk about now)

Fix “Corked” Wine with a Bowl and Plastic Wrap

A “professor of wine chemistry” at UC Davis says that just coming in contact with plastic wrap removes the cemical that gives wine it’s “dank” (think spoiled) flavor.  Works just like dirt sticks to soap.

The engineering solution is going to have to be how do you get wine in contact with plastic wrap.  Maybe wrap a funnel in plastic wrap, then pour it into a different bottle?  Transfer it to a bowl then back to the original bottle?
