Renegade by MOD

From now on, all my ice cubes will come full of velvety red rose petals and rosemary. Renegade's is back in a big way!

Lit Lounge

Eight hundred people, including Ronnie, Jaye and the two mini-me(s) Shana and Kenzie, cracked up as story after story was told  - the fling with a lesbian, the letter to AAA, the Mormon at the sex club, the nudist colony crime spree, the Meredith Baxter (no Birney) at the cruise ship buffet and more, all interspersed with some fun music.

Lit Lounge - just about as cool as things get in Scottsdale

Two peas in a pod

Made good use of a day off for a veggie fest with Old Wildcat at the yummy new Bink's.

Book Club - Bossypants

Last minute May Day May Day book club. Circled around the twinkling patio at Maggie's with all Bossypantsers, the burning boners, the night sweaters, the trial watchers, the star in the paper as our own stories made their ways around and around.

Also got through The Snow Child this month.

Mothers Who Write (then read)

What a smart, funny, poignant bunch of ladies - wow :)

Newsy

Pre-drivers licence, I was sitting at a bus stop in front of my high school, waiting for the westbound to Old Wildcat's place, when a creepy guy in a green car pulled up. He shouted out his rolled down window, "Hi, can I give you a lift?" I shook my head. "It would save you your bus fare," he said. I kept shaking my head until he scrunched up his face and drove off. I thought about that a lot last year while I was reading Room, a story about a creepy guy that kidnapped a young girl, impregnated her and held her and the child captive for years. It was a great book. Fiction. Life in the bubble is so nice. Then reality sneaks in. What if I rode the bus a lot? What if bus fare was hard to come by? What if I got in that car? Would I have ended up in a basement on the other side of the tracks like those girls in Cleveland? Would people have given up looking for me after a few months?

Over a thousand dead in Bangladesh so we can buy cheap clothes at Macy's

Across town in Mesa, crazy girl slashes boyfriend's throat, cable news watchers are riveted

Effective today, Earth's atmosphere is now officially screwed.

Stay at the bus stop. Keep shaking your head.

Da Vinci

Great exhibit at the Science Center - The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and all of the incredible inventions by Da Vinci. What a brainiac!

Movie Madness - Kon Tiki

Incredible little 5,000 mile trip on a raft, inspiring generations of risk takers and believers.
