Friday night we went to see the inimitable Billy Bacon @ The Zoo. We danced. We drank. We danced. We drank. I confessed my longtime crush to my favorite Self-Righteous Brother -- a crush that was later dimmed when he called me a "stone cold fox" on our way out the door. Who says that? Was I missing some ironic '80s lingo?
We were looking pretty hot, though -- no?
Even better, on Saturday I ordered a new addition to the household. Miz K and the nice manager at Blue's helped me test-drive quite a few, and I went with the best I could afford -- a new Trek 4500. Rock Shox/80mm on a teensy 14-inch frame and thinner tires than the standard issue. Compared to my old behemoth, she's completely effortless and weightless.
Poll of the day: What shall I name her? Thinking to keep with the French theme (Lola = la casa; Suzette = Miz K's ride). Fifi, maybe? Or Jezebel, which no is not French but is kind of naughty so I like it ... Thoughts?
She'll be coming home by the weekend. Oh, I hope it's nice Saturday ... we'll open our Wilderness season and grill out in the evening on the new Weber I scored at a yard sale in the brother's ritzy 'hood ...

Here's to not reaching Year 6.
It's the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the USA’s war against Iraq. In all the excitement, I missed the Saturday vigil in Lincoln.
But: If you're in Omaha on Monday, Nebraskans for Peace will hold a peace vigil 4-6 p.m. at the footbridge over Dodge Street, just east of UNO’s campus. After the vigil: A gathering at McFosters, 38th and Farnam, 6:30-9:30 p.m.

When's the last time you cried over a book?
I just finished "A Farewell to Arms." Even I saw it coming -- and I don't like to let myself see it coming. But even though I knew, I didn't *want* to know, and so when I did know I cried.

Welcome to the Terrordome.
Public Enemy was the free SXSW concert this year (see video below). Why, oh why, do I never commit to going to Austin in March? Crappy video but worth a listen just to hear Chuck D chanting "Fuck Dick Cheney! Fuck Condoleezza!

Too '80s softcore ... thanks for the input, tho!
Ahhh, look at the pretty ladies! :)
My pseudo-uncle once told my mom she had "a Jezebel spirit." I think she took it as a compliment.
