siesta

siesta si·es·ta [see-es-tuh] noun

A midday or afternoon rest or nap, especially as taken in Spain and Latin America.

Sure wish this would catch on here, along w/ the fantastic British tradition of afternoon tea.

We could omit napping up against a cactus,though.

Formerly Favorite Font

Comic Sans used to be my font of choice when I was in MSN Groups.  I used it as the default font in this blog when I started and even wrote a post about it.

As is with nearly all these quizzes, I like to think most of the results really do apply to me. The "people appreciate you best in small doses" is probably true, too. That's OK; I feel that way about most people, myself.

You Are Comic Sans

You are a nothing but a big goofball.

You're quite playful and fun!

You're widely known for your zany personality and your vivacious attitude.

To say that you stand out in a crowd would be a definite understatement.

Remember that you are overwhelming at times and that people appreciate you best in small doses.


Dont Bring Me Down - ELO


Fall Back!

Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight!

(Sunday morning @ 2:00 a.m.)

Change your smoke alarm batteries, too!

Adam Ant as Brad Bonner

A Facebook and long-time online friend recently posted some Adam Ant videos on her wall and seeing them reminded me of an old episode of Northern Exposure where he played Brad Bonner, a British rock star (typecasting in reverse?) visiting Cicily, Alaska and wanting to make a "tribal rock" video with some of the local natives. 



The character taking the video is Ed Chigliak, played by Darren E. Burrows. Mr. Burrows and I share many of the same political beliefs and I am proud to count him among my Facebook friends. (Burrow's Facebook fan page)

Pulling For One Side

Did you know tug of war used to be an Olympic event?

1904 Olympic Games Tug of War

The ancient sport was an official Olympic event from 1900 until 1920. There's a Tug of War International Federation that still organizes tournaments and it is also a part of the Highland Games.

The sport still has some "pull" in some parts of the world!
