After ridiculously long day…and a steak…a steak like you wouldn’t believe.
Before ridiculously long day.
Nashville,
I can’t remember the name of the place, but we ate at a great italian/bistro in the Old Market area. I’m thinking it started with a “V.” (Helpful, I know…lol.) BUT, they had great atmosphere and food. It has a wrought iron patio area outside the front; and is also close to Homers and an corner clothing boutique.
There are several antique stores, clothing—new and vintage—and really some cool art stores.
Have a great stay!
Valentino’s?
Nope. At least I don’t think so…!
***Fine, I just googled it. It’s called “Vivace.”
Thanks! Now I know where I’m eating tomorrow. And after the steak I just devoured, it’s a bloody miracle I’m not packing my bags to move to Nebraska right now. God…it was goooooooooood.

GPOYW(eventhoughit’sacutallyThursday): Incredibly hungover, in stifling heat, with long hair at the Omaha Zoo edition…
Is the Omaha Zoo as amazing as it’s supposed to be? I’ve only been to Omaha once and we were in the old market area, which I totally loved. I want to go back.
Old Market is soo cool. I fell in love with Homer’s, the record store…
The zoo was clean, and very nice. We were there for an entire day, and didn’t see all of the exhibits. (However, in fairness, it was well over 100 degrees the day we were there, so we bought tickets to the imax theater to escape the heat for a bit.) But yes, if you are a fan of zoos, it is a nice one. :)
Hey! I’m going there Saturday. Just landed in Omaha for three fun-filled days of meetings, lunches, schmoozing, and the like. Other than the record store, any suggestions for Old Market? I’m like four blocks from there.
Thanks guys...
Guess I’ll wear ties more often. And welcome new followers. I’ll play catch up and return the favor later.
FYI
Grease 2 is on WGN.
You’re welcome.
Gotta get packing Tumblr. Off to Omaha bright and early. I’ll send you pics from the zoo.

I hate money
Specifically, the part about not having enough of it.

Greatest City in the World (or at least in my worldview). Happy Birthday.
Rant
Hey you. Buy a fucking alarm clock, a memo recorder, and a day planner. Your unbelievable lack of organizing skill is fucking up the lives of those around you. If anybody fucks up my life, it’d better damn sure be me.
End rant.

It is pressed with resin into a mold that already contains all of the object parts.
This allows Israeli designer yoav avinoam to create new material, with what was once destined to be waste.
So, I don’t really have 8000 things to do before Thurdsday do I? I can go home to the shop and figure out how to make one of these now can’t I?
this always makes me laugh
Holy Moly, I used to have this book. The entry on “tape” featured Supergirl and the Joker in a bondage scene.
