Ad Nauseum

A not-so-daily chronicle of humor, insight and my attempt at livin’ the dream.

A great start to the weekend

Friday night: Rode 12 miles around Heritage Park with Rich and went out for enchiladas and margaritas, made it home by 10:00.

Saturday morning: Early morning power-walk with Amanda, then breakfast at Farm To Market cafe with Amanda and Jami (and Lola the Wonderpup) and shopping at the Overland Park Farmer’s Market.

Looking forward to the NFL Draft today. Not a bad start to the weekend, huh?

Must give props to an artist friend of mine, Elizabeth Baddeley. Recently, she hosted an art show and I got a chance to see all her works in person. She’s truly talented. Check out her blog, The Palette Knife, listed in the Blogroll section.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” I realize I’ve taken extreme liberty with inconsistency in terms of blogging. I hope that my long-overdue posting does not disappoint in terms of imagination, though I’m not promising much. Hell, I’m not sure anyone even reads this anymore, but I’m not writing for other people anyway. So :P .

I have succumbed to Twitter.  Should you have the desire to jump inside my brain, feel free to click the link on the right and you’ll see how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

Oh yeah- since I’ve posted a link to this blog on Twitter, I guess I should start updating it regularly.  It’s your lucky day!

Ciao Bella Blood Orange sorbet

Can I make a recommendation?  This stuff is fabulous!  During a recent trip to Whole Foods, I saw this in the freezer and thought it might be pretty good.  There’s a restaurant in town that serves a blood orange martini that I absolutely adore, so I figured if this was half as good as the cocktail then I’d like it.  I love being right.  Not too sweet, not too citrus-y.  Just perfect and refreshing.  Go get some and see what I mean.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me.

Is it just me, or is this picture shockingly funny?

I guess they didn't cover this in diplomacy 101 during the morning briefing.

Jack’s Mannequin.  In particular, a song called The Resolution:

There’s a lot that I don’t know
There’s a lot that I’m still learning
But I think I’m letting go
To find my body is still burning
And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

And I’m alive
And I don’t need a witness
To know that I survived
I’m not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
‘Til the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone
I can hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I’m going underground
But you’ll find me anywhere I feel

That I’m alive
And I don’t need a witness
To know that I survived
I’m not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution

You hold me down
You hold me down
I’m alive
And I don’t need a witness
To know that I survived
I’m not looking for forgiveness

I’m alive
And I don’t need a witness
To know that I survived
I’m not looking for forgiveness
I just need light
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution
I need light, I need light
