Tuesday...Dancing, Ruby and otherwise...

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, March 10, 2009 23 Of Your Sparks

Before you do anything else today - well, that is, AFTER you finish reading my brilliant wordage (bwahahahahahahah), you have to get over and visit TRAVIS of "Trav's Thoughts", because you know that last night was the PREMIER of Dancing With The Stars, and no one....I say - let me hear ya shout it from the mountaintop, NO ONE does a DWTS recap like our buddy Travis...

OK, now I guess if you are reading this, you didn't just run over to Travis'...cause I said you should stay here and read this first, right? Well I guess, even if you went there and then came back, that is OK also...
BUT, for those of you who are NOT reading this, because you left and never came back...well, I am not real happy with you folks right about now!

Wait...where was I? OH, never mind...

Did a whole spring cleaning thing at the apartment Saturday morning. Nancy went to watch her son Ernie win his first tennis match of the season! WOOOOOOO

Then we cleaned the home and had some Chinese for dinner. Found a pretty decent place and have been trying out the menu little by little. The fried dumplings need some help, and the egg rolls are not worth the money, but the General Tso Chicken is quite good. Saturday we ordered the Twice Cooked Pork and it was very good.

Now, y'all have to know that being from the NY area I am a Chinese food snob and get real frustrated when I can't find good Chinese food. So this makes me happy.

Eating it with Nancy as we watch Dexter, well that is the biggest dang cherry on top of that treat!

OK, so two weeks in a row, and I am playing along with Mary/The Teach and her RUBY TUESDAY assignment...You can check out the other entries by clicking on the logo...

As I was cleaning the kitchen the bowl in the corner kept catching my eye. So grabbing the camera...three different views. The first had some minor hue adjustments to get the lemons a nice yellow, but still have the flash flares.(they go bigger)

For the second, we removed the flash flares from a second point of view.

The third, well, the third was a bit of an experiment...
Some cubism, so posterization, some color moves...
