New Show

A friend at my work told me about this show she had stumbled upon one day when she was sick at home.  The show is called Three Sheets.  It is about a comedian named Zane something or another who travels around the world engaging people in their cultures along with their drinking customs, locations, foods and hangover ‘cures’.  Needless to say the show is funny as the days go on in the day.  It is also very informative to learn about different culture’s drinking customs.  Like in Belgium they have beer that isn’t pasteurized and is always fermenting with the yeast. Very cool.  Also he tried some liquor made of brussel sprouts.  He vomited.  It is just an awesome show. Also it is a drinking game. I’ve not played it yet, but it seems pretty intense.  You can find the rules here.  Enjoy!

He’s almost here…

looks like a cool movie. I mean in a second rate off color Luke Wilson sort of way. I ‘ll go see it for sure!

 

How not to get rich

I’ve worked all but about ten hours of the last two days.  Which leads to this short post. I need to go take a nap.  Of course I’ve got to leave you with the key to staying sane in the midst of working so much.  Dan Zanes is the key for me.  His great album Catch That Train is my introduction to his work, but I’m already in sold.  He has a lot of music primarily for adults, but I’m interested in his children’s music.  There’s a great lightness and joy that come from listening to children’s music.  I’m not talking about fairy tales and cartoon voices.  I’m talking about fun, make you dance, shake your rump in the car and smile type of music.  The best part is the great quality of instrumentation on the albums of bands like Dan Zanes and Friends, Trout Fishing in America and Justin Roberts.  If you have a few extra bucks or some time to search youTube then I suggest checking out these fun music alternatives. Have a great weekend! Did anybody see the Dark Knight yet?

Here’s a taste of Dan Zanes:

The biggest day of the summer

Well this summer is about half way over.  Man what a summer it has been so far.  I’ve gotten to see Kelsey once so far, and it was great! I’m in a new city without any friends and living with my mom.  Sounds like the dream life for a 23 year old right?  Well it’s just a season so I’m being patient.  I’ve talked in past posts about some of the bright points about being in Kansas City.  I mean if I didn’t look for things to look forward to and enjoy then I’d be a depressed wreck.  Luckily the biggest day of the summer is this Friday. Didn’t you know?  Well, if not then let me fill you in folks!

The season premier of Monk is this Friday.  We get to follow Monk, Natalie, Disher and the whole crew for another hilarious season full of OCD fun.  I can’t wait. However, I’m actually even more excited about another giant happening on Friday.

The Dark Knight!!! Undoubtedly the most anticipated movie of the summer.  At least for my summer.  What a wonderful Friday it will be.*  I wish you all a merry “Biggest Day of the Summer” in advance and I hope to hear your recaps of the day.

*Neither Monk or The Dark Knight will be actually viewed by myself on biggest day of summer due to work restraints.  Due to the luxury of DVR and $5 Monday through Wednesdays at AMC I will have to recap my biggest day of the summer next week.

 

Fun Foods Friday

Okay, I’ll be the first to correct myself about the title, but for the sake of alliteration it will stay.  I’ve been back and forth to work ever since I got back from my vacation, and my life will only get more hectic.  Anyways, I know two that help when dealing with a busy schedule.  First is that you have to choose to be comfortable and relaxed before your day starts at 5 am.  My new favorite way to relax early in the morning is tea from a company called Yogi Tea.  Currently I’m drinking the flavor called “Fasting”.  Some of the other great flavors I’d like to try include Mexican Sweet Chili, Detox, Pomegranate Green Tea, Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut and African Redbush Peach.  Secondly, when you have a really busy schedule it is important to have quick foods ready for short lunch times or on the go.  My favorite snack right now is an all time classic.  String cheese!  You can’t go wrong hardly with string cheese. The big question though is…Do you just dive right in, or do you methodically peel each string apart?
