Geddem, it's been a long while since I've posted! A lot has happened since December. The Jayhawk and I went to Costa Rica with the Chimneys to celebrate the nuptials of Dags and Mary Rice. We went to KC to visit the Jayhawk's familia for his birthday (where he ended up getting the suede Prada boots that I'd scoped at Halls -- I'm not still bitter about that...no...). I sang drunky karaoke Madonna (Like a Prayer) and Tina (Proud Mary) at La Linterna Verde (que te quiero verde) with Lady LaLa and the Boyz. We saw Klingon Shakespeare auditions. We bid au revoir to Fruchey, who's off in Austin for bigger and better things (and by "things" I think we all know I mean pipis...oh!; that was out loud). We did pop-up dinner for Chez Billy at the Montserrat House. I watched the 3rd Underworld movie with Puff and Candy -- and loved it (?!). We mourned Don Cornelius and had our own drunky Soul Train revivals in our living room late nite. We celenebriated Mattie's big move to the farm and danced to Whitney. All in all, a ton of times over the past few months. And tonight I finally released the latest Mango Mix for my friends to enjoy. No Snow for Mango. And the tracklist is:
Azari & III - Reckless (With Your Love)
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - How Can You Love Me
Howard Hughes & David Tattersall - The Lobster Boat
Grinderman - Worm Tamer
A Giant Dog - Chatterteeth
Caitlin Park - Baby Teeth
Sharon Van Etten - Serpents
Alabama Shakes - Hold On
Jamie Woon - Street
Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains - Piscine
Hanne Hukkelberg - Featherbrain
Husky - The Woods
Kikuyu - Infodome
La Garçonne - Super Hero
Sisterland - Dirty White
Electricity in Our Homes - As Fast as Lightning
Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves of Destiny - Sweet Tooth Bird
Grimes - Genesis
Anna Calvi - Blackout
Cate Le Bon - Falcon Eyed
Shrag - Tendons in the Night
Clubfeet - Teenage Suicide (Don't Do It)
And the link to these fine tunes is: Error 404. No music found.
I'll write more from now on, for realz, to keep y'all more informed on our comings/goings, mis bonitos. I like writing for you. I hope you like my writing, too.

I don't think this recipe is in the Betty Crocker cookbook.
Credit woes for credit unions.
KC area breaks 2,000,000.
All those people will need to be fed. Sloppy Joe's are a good way to do that.
The jury let Anibal go?! On all counts?!
Today in 1873.
Where are Ricans gonna find boxes to use as their luggage now?
Selena to the rescue (as in Lopez and stray Rican dogs).

Keep your fingers crossed, Jayhawk. Waiting for that No. 2 (to No. 4) seed.
Kathleen: The Bad Catholic.
This ain't the kind of spice anyone needs in their chili.
The Estonians are coming (to Johnson County)!
A good Saturday night for Rico: Rico pummels the U.S. in the World Baseball Classic.
Makes up for a bad Wednesday night for Rico: Smiley and Pretty voted off on the same night.
The stress and the drama of the losses were apparently too much for the Rican earth to handle.
13% unemployment, anyone?

Say "yes" to HHS. Sebelius finally accepts a Cabinet position.
You're not in New England anymore. Cassel off to KC.
Me dance pretty one day. Actually, 2 days. KC Ballet honors Twyla Tharp in STL.
Free sample; free sample! Wine by the glass in KC liquor stores. I see drunky messes on the horizon. But drunkies do shop more. So maybe it's a brilliant plan to help the economy.
When Ricans Attack. Rican Nationalists shoot up the House of Representatives. In 1954.
Blatant financial conflicts of interest in Rico? Impossible...
When in doubt, ship 'em out...to Iraq.
A piece of el campito in la gran ciudad.

Forget Build-A-Bear. Build-A-Trike is much more fun.
More troubles for Sprint. How is a "BB+" rating a downgrade from a plain "BB," though?
Hooley Hooley KC stylee.
She might just make it after all...Sebelius for HHS top spot? Maybe...
The stripper took my nipple!
Drunky rotten scoundrels. Drink more (Rican) rum.
But don't try to swindle the Rican peoples because they will catch you (and air your dirty laundry while they're at it for kicks).
¡Arriba, Cotto! I know the island must have been on fire last night.
Rican heat in the Chitown cold.
Cry, cry, baby!

All Hale-y! The Chiefs hire Todd Haley as their new head coach.
That's 475,830 KC residents, to be exact, Mr. Census Man.
The river is falling! The river is falling!
Birthdays all around this weekend. Happy Bday, KC Ballet!
¡Wepa! Rico beats Venezuela in baseball Caribbean Series.
Talk about angry white men...Try an angry machista Rican man with a legal education. Whatevs...
I don't get it. Rican skinheads in Orlando?
No Wii for me! Well, at least not one that we'll hook up to the Internets.

¡Japi Japi!
Happy Birthday, Jayhawk! ¡Que te crezca el bling bling, and all that other good stuff! It'll be a wonderful birthday weekend. Lazy at-home Thursday, opening-night-for-the-play Friday, fancy-dinner Saturday, and get-your-museum-on Sunday. Good times before the Valentine's Day and Restaurant Week rush mayhem.

All Hail!
Sister Disco! Winner of the 2nd Annual 1429 Super Bowl Chili Cook-Off! It was splendid times, indeed. Good friends, good food, good beers, and, actually, a good football game (although the same really can't be said for the commercials; maybe PETA should have been allowed to air their commercial, after all; "Debbie Does Salad," indeed). I have definitely got to amp up my game for next year's challenge. Maybe I can make a chili using the log o' meat that these KC boys created? It's a heart attack wrapped in bacon, but that's the kind me likey.

What's in a name?
2009: The year for KC artistry.
Get me some eggs and milk while you're at it.
Sign o' the shaky print media times. KC Kansan goes on-line only.
An inauguration fit for the stars. Even my parents sat up in the VIP section.
Speaking of stars, JLo and Skeletor are not getting a divorce, gracias very mucho.
Rico gets its own peseta!
Use it to pay for dinner at one of these fine restaus.

No Cabinet for you! Sebelius steps off the Administration Obamwagon.
In the market for a house? You can get one for cheap tomorrow.
Music make me hongry.
I'll be there in 11 days!
Wait what? The boxer in fishnets lives in Rico?
Jorge's taking everyone down with him just like he promised. Alberto Goachet pleads guilty to being a douche.

Pretty Pictures Version 12.06.08
Today's Pretty Pictures prove that there must be some krazy powder sprinkled into the BBQ sauce in the KC. And me lovey. Thanks to The District for turning me onto these boys: Ssion with "Warm Gloves."

Here We Go
It's that time of year, again: List time! When everyone and their mothers come out with lists on the best/worst/weirdest/whateverest of 2008. I'm going to try to ignore them as much as I can by just reading up on lists that have no attachment to 2008 at all. Like this one: The World's 50 Strangest Buildings. That's the KC Public Library in the picture, BTW. It's número seis on the list. I totally need to go check it out in person nest time the Jayhawk and I go visit la familia out there.(Photo courtesy of Jonathan Moreau)

Gimme Gimme #7
Speaking of chefs made me think that today's installation should be all about food gifts.
I know this is corny, but I've always wanted someone to get me a Fruit of the Month Club membership. It reminds me of when my momma used to get pears shipped to her in Rico from Texas every month when I was a wee fruit, myself. Sigh...
How about some popcorn? Or cookies?
A nice cesta full of cured meats and wine would be nice. Although you can always keep it real and get a caja full of Rican coffee treats. Or keep it Midwestern with some KC BBQ goodness.
And there's yummy foodstuffs of the Omaha variety to use on with that BBQ sauce, too.
But if you really want to get to this man's heart, give a little bit of rice to those who most need it, and improve your vocab skillz while you're at it.
Num Yummy!
