Nebraska

Pardon my lack of posts lately, but I was actually able to tear myself from the computer for a little while for a little road trip with my friend Jenny to Lincoln, Nebraska. Road trip! Yesss.....

This would mark my first time in Nebraska. My impressions? It's a long way to Nebraska. It doesn't look too bad on a map, since you only have to drive through South Dakota. But trust me, it's a long drive, so do as I did and bring a friend and good tunes.

We had lots of fun and there are plenty of stories to tell, but overall, this trip made me realize that I have great friends, and these great friends are blessed with really great taste. This sounds a touch egotistical (after all, they are MY friends), but I only mention it out of surprise as my style is...well, let's call the bare walls and lack of furntiure "modern". However, nearly all of the people in my life have this knack for creating warm, welcoming spaces. For example, I realized this weekend that I really really like bowls of fruit sitting around. It's healthy, it's beautiful, it's decorating with a natural product that can be made into pie. Mmm, pie.

I'm going to steal this idea from my dear Nebraska friends, even though they'll just laugh and remind me that they didn't invent bowls of fruit and there are plenty of Renoir paintings to prove it, which will lead into a discussion of Impressionist art and its influence in cinematic stylings...which will devolve into a discussion about Nicholas Cage movies.

In the end, it is always about Nick Cage.
