Saturday At The Forth Worth Auto Show

Saturday Night At The Follies - Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play at Stage West

Last night we went to Stage West Theatre to see Mr. Burns, a post-electric play by Anne Washburn.  I'll start by saying the show was terrific.  A great and talented cast, interesting concept and fun staging makes this a must-do.

Saturday's Evening Sky

I took this during a break in the storms on Saturday.

Here's the original

A little retouch for dramatic effect

Saturday's lunch at Anamia's:  Shrimp sautéed in garlic and lime on a bed of vegetables and rice, preceded by a batch of fresh, made-at-the-table guacamole.

The Ross Perot Museum Of Nature And Science

Yesterday Todd and I took Mom to the Ross Perot Museum of Nature and Science in downtown Dallas.  It was the first time any of us had been there, and we had a great time.  I highly encourage you to plan a visit if you're in the area.

What I learned that will stay with me the longest was this fact that was written on one of the benches:
"The average person accidentally eats 430 bugs each year of his or her life."

A unique exterior, and the inside is a lot of fun too

Well It Was Saturday Night, I Guess That Makes It All Right...

It does not get much better than a Saturday night satiated with steak, a full moon floating through clouds, a glass of red wine in front of me (I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy), and Etta James in my headphones belting Take it to the Limit from her Live from San Francisco album.  One of the best albums I own, and amazingly, not on iTunes.

Buy this album - you won't regret it

Next up on the shuffle was Joanna Newsom singing Cosmia from her Ys album.  Also a great album, though of a different sort.

Plays the harp like Tori Amos plays the piano

And following that on shuffle (lest you think me a complete music snob) was Britney Spears Womanizer (Kaskade Mix) from the Womanizer (Remix EP).

Guilty pleasure - like eating hot-n-spicy pork rinds

Ok, so then it was The Night Flight from Houston by Laurie Anderson from Talk Normal: The Laurie Anderson Anthology.

This woman is a genius.  She was also married to Lou Reed, who's gone up to the sky like the Satellite of Love.  Goodbye Lou.

Before I bore you with too much of my Saturday night shuffle, I'll just tell you that the song that came up after Laurie Anderson was Light Speed by Dr. Dre from his 2001 aka The Chronic 2001 album.  My taste in music runs through all genres (which unfortunately can be expensive).

I need an adult!

Aw what the hell - after that was Stay by Me from Annie Lennox, Eyes by The Naked and Famous, then Viva la Juventud (Remix) by The Pinker Tones.

Ok, that's it.  The rest can just be whatever you want it to be.  I'm just going to chill with some more music and mellow with my wine.  Thanks for peeking into my Saturday night.

Saturday

Good morning.  Just farting around this morning - got coffee, went to the store, syncing the phone, doing laundry, saying good morning to you, that sort of thing.
