It was a real treat to be able to taste a red wine that was as old as me. The Monte Bello is Ridge Vineyard's signature bottle, able to best even French wines in French-held competitions.

Because of how aged the wine has become, bright fruity aromas are no longer present. There is a very strong earthy smell to replace it. The taste is almost completely absent of alcohol; a very smooth experience. There is also very little sweetness because most of the sugars have been further digested.

I think about half of my wardrobe comes from Gap Factory.

Decided to stop by today, after work, because I had a 40% F&F coupon sitting in my inbox. Usually, I limit myself to one or two items because my spending budget used to be extremely tight. This time, I grabbed everything that fit well and then decided that it WAS all within budget.

GDC 2015 was one of those milestones that has forced the growth of my little company. I was proud to see so many people rise to the occasion, taking on responsibilities that I hadn't even anticipated. I did the best I could to support the team, capture new business, and be there every event to direct operations. It would be foolish to say that I did a good job, but I think it went well enough.

It was surreal to be able to speak with the President of Riot Games and have him tell me what I helped found was something he would consistently patron. Here is someone at the helm of a multi-million dollar company telling me he's thoroughly impressed with my product. I also really appreciated the fact that we were speaking as equal peers. It certainly was a start contrast to some of the other conversations I had, where the person clearly wanted to establish superiority.

The roundtrip commute is terrible, but just something I'll have to figure out a way that makes sense. It's frustrating that any amount of time I get out early is automatically consumed by the hours it takes to get home. Full 8-hour days become at least 11 hours. Slipping out of work at 6 hours is still at least a 9-hour day.

I'm not a fan of ThoughtCatalog because some of their pieces are polarizing -- to the point of being trash. This was an interesting compilation, though.

Throwaway account since pretty much everyone I know is on reddit, and this would ruin a lot of my good friendships if anyone found out. Okay, so...
