http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:53:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I dozed for about an hour and a half, but I'm a little wired from something. Maybe I waited too long after taking the hydrocodone cough syrup. If I take NyQuil and go to bed, I'll fall asleep. If I take too long puttering ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/203 Wow. I repeat, wow! Tonight I strutted my stuff bigtime. Publix had top sirloin on sale for $3.99/lb, so I bought a huge 3.5 lb steak -- two inches thick and beautiful! Coated it with kosher salt, cumin, mustard flour, smoked paprika, & cracked black pepper. Rub on a ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/202 I experimented a bit in the kitchen tonight. I started with the intention of doing my usual pan-seared chicken with various vegetables. Then I thought I'd make some kind of chicken wrap, initially to be made with tortillas. Then I decided to use the butter lettuce in the fridge instead ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/200 Today Patty and I set off to kayak the 5-mile route from the Ocklawaha to Silver Springs. This is the same trip I tried to make a month or two ago, when the geography creatively realigned itself and I wound up kayaking the Lower Wekiva instead (because I know where ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/199 It's been quite a while since my last update. In theory, I've been sorting and editing pictures from my two weeks in Arizona. In practice, I've been sitting here staring at the screen and not accomplishing much. I think I took too many pictures. It's overwhelming. I've gotten rid of most ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/198 I asked my co-worker today why she had Penny Lane written on the back of whatever it is that sticks up past the edge of my desk. She explained that it's a photo of her niece, and her name is Penny Lane. Then she pulled out a photo of her ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/197 I hate to admit it, but Knocked Up is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Seth Rogan cracks me up. I just stayed up entirely too late because I had to watch all the deleted scenes, and I get the feeling I'm going to watch ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/196 This is yet another example of why it can be bad to know music & lyrics as well as I do. Sometimes all it takes is a word or two to get me started. The co-worker across from me has a note tacked up. I don't know what the front ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/195   So, what DO you do with a drunken sailor? And it's official: Not as bad as I imagine it could be, but I'm still experiencing my first real hangover. I say "real" hangover because when I worked in the Keys for a month I played drinking games with some co-workers after ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/194 I was going to wait until I got back before editing any of my photos, but I had some free time today when, despite a promising 80-degree morning, the sun decided to bake the city once again. That's my favorite so far, and I think the reason is obvious. Prettier pictures ... http://www.danceafterdark.com/wp/archives/193
