Musical Notes

We had the Alanis Crow Project on our morning show this week. They added a sophisticated, peppy vibe to their cover songs of Alanis Morissette & Sheryl Crow. Get it now? Alanis + Crow??? Obvious, I know.

Driving by a Bad Accident on I-80, originally uploaded by queenkv.

CHP shutdown eastbound I-80 by Dixon around midnight. Somebody was hit and killed while walking by the interstate. Poor guy.

 

Dreaming of Incanto

It’s been 6 months+ since we moved back to Northern California.
I think we’ve synched up nicely with the rhythm of life in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Last month, we checked out the farm team for the Oakland A’s, the Sacramento River Cats.

Cheering on the River Cats!, originally uploaded by queenkv.

We scored [...]

 

Burning Down Memories

It’s been a productive weekend so far: cleaning up, putting away papers, doing laundry, catching up on blogs, Top Chef and cuddling with the puppy. Daisy’s sleeping behind my chair now. I’m trying to avoid rolling over her. Sneaky puppy.
If you have been following me on twitter, then you know I’ve wrapped my 7-Day work [...]

Loving Man’s Best Friend

I suspect if I wasn’t married, I would be like Peggy, 40-years-old, single and relating better to four-legged friends. I also love the name of her dog, Pencil.
This looks like an adorable movie with Molly Shannon in a romantic lead role.

Thankfully, I’m married and I have a dog! Yeah! This morning, Daisy killed [...]

 

Time and Patience

Another round of hot Kansas weather had me craving ceviche. It’s so easy to make and it tastes refreshing, as a meal or a snack. As long as you have the patience to wait for it “cook” in the fridge, I think it’s worth the wait.

After Midnight

It’s a bad week. Stressed out co-workers, higher expectations…
Plus Mark’s leaving for California next weekend. I’m trying not to think about that.
We had planned on meeting up in the Bay Area — but I can’t take off from work. I’ve now been away from California for more than six months. It feels like it’s killing [...]

 

Something twisted this way come…

Happy Cinco De Mayo! I went to the gym this morning. On the elliptical machine, I tried watching re-runs of America’s Next Top Model. But I kept flipping back to CNN and MSNBC. I couldn’t take my eyes off the overnight Tornado videos out of Oklahoma.

Another one destroyed a Kansas town near Wichita last night. [...]

 

Fierce Bodyguards and Free Hugs

Last weekend, I dived into a Kill Bill Party dressed as Oren’s bodyguard, Gogo. I know I don’t have long hair, white tube socks and a metal ball hanging from a wicked chain. However, I had a blazer, a kilt skirt and an authentic Catholic school white button shirt. I figured I could pass for [...]
