Fabulous Fleur de Lis

The Dash Community, which has nothing to do with Rainbow Dash, shares the following:
“1 I don’t really get Anne Hathaway. I can recognize that she’s gorgeous, talented, charming, all that, but for whatever reason she just doesn’t ring my bell. I don’t really get Kate Middleton. I was never the biggest fan of Julia Roberts, even when I enjoyed her performances. And I didn’t take to Brad Pitt…”
Like “a funny thing happened on the way re-imagining My Little Pony for The Hub,” Fleur De Lis (Friendship is Magic) is a page on Facebook devoted to “a Canterlot high society unicorn who is introduced [beside Fancypants] in the episode ‘Sweet and Elite’” and has what the New Kids on the Block would call “The Right Stuff” although the character has only ever had one line and one appearance.
“Two state troopers in New Jersey are in quite a bit of trouble following an incident that provided a high-speed escort for a caravan of luxury cars.”
Fleur In The Rain
“In contrast to her show-stopping entrance to the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II didn’t look so amused during the procession of nations.”
“NBC has united the world…in scorn, contempt, and mockery of its gaffe-plagued, stone-age Olympics coverage. Cutting the tribute to the 7/7 London Islamic terror victims from the network’s opening ceremonies coverage was just the tip of the iceberg. Yesterday, the #NBCFail hashtag erupted worldwide ...”

A peculiar wind follows Him

After the shows at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building in Lawrence last night, John, Chanté, Hannah, Derek, David and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings,
where they have calories listed on the menu.
This summer, work will perhaps progress on our street.

David rode out to Lawrence with me, and I feel that our talk on the return to Kansas City connected us more as friends since the passing of his mother. Afterward, I visited Denton, who reacted, “It’s almost one in the morning, you know?”

I don’t know, sometimes feel like a stranger in my own life.

Once home, I looked at Facebook for an hour and went to bed at three in the morning. Before returning to sleep, I watched some My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Dragon Ball Z Kai. For lunch, I again woke up and watched qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, but my mother changed the channel just as coverage for the NASCAR Nationwide Series began. Still tired, I went back to bed. I suppose, as a bit of a hypocrite, I ordered  Papa John’s Pizza instead of going to the show of Holy Cow! Improv Comedy Troupe to support Seriously Playful.

Library West parking lot to close July 30 Under cloudy skies, the Library West parking lot will close for construction
“On Monday, July 30, the Library West parking lot will close for construction of the new Hospitality and Culinary Academy.

The lot will remain closed until construction is complete in summer 2013.

Temporary parking is available south of the north Quivira Road entrance to campus. The lot will replace parking that will be unavailable while the Hospitality and Culinary Academy is being built.

The road surrounding the Library West parking lot will remain open during construction.

Construction equipment and material deliveries will travel through the south Quivira Road entrance and down the street leading out of the east entrance of the Parking Garage at Galileo’s Garden. Drivers should expect occasional delays on that roadway.”

‘Roidèd’ Out

My mother often watches World’s Wildest Police Videos, a preference that baffles me as my preference for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic confuses her and everyone else. My family finally tired of rebroadcasts of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family for a more respectable addiction to first-run episodes of NCIS on CBS and their rebroadcasts on USA Network, where the following aired last night.
USA Network - WWE Raw 1,000th Episode
“The 1,000th episode of Raw will be epic! WWE Raw is now 3 FULL hours every Monday beginning Monday, July 23rd at 8/7c, only on USA Network! Visit the official...”
After canvassing, our candidate and crew went to Talk of the Town Grill & Bar, where the previously mentioned program was featured on one of the screens. Referring to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, another table commented, “He looks ‘roidèd’ out.”

Music of the Night

David Rushing is one of my best friends.
His mother Carol passed away last week after cancer returned aggressively.
Her memorial service was this afternoon at Shawnee Park Christian Church.

“Peace of mind, comfort, guidance and expert care are what Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care brings to people of all ages and at any stage of serious illness.”
A pianist played a prelude. To show Carol’s love of theatrical music, a recording of “Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera formally began the service.
the song I sang to my parents, the song they sang to me
Pinkie's Song by *Whatsapokemon on deviantART

A family friend led the Call to Worship and read an excerpt from Isaiah 40, Carol’s favorite passage. A Prayer of Invocation has offered, and “My God and I” was performed live. The Reverend began the eulogy with a reading of Isaiah 40:25-31.
Bible Gateway passage: Isaiah 40:25-31 - Common English Bible
“So to whom will you compare me, and who is my equal? says the holy one. Power for the weary - Look up at the sky and consider: Who created these? The one who brings out their attendants one by one, summoning each of them by name. Because of God’s great strength and mighty power, not one is missing. …”
Obvious to anyone who ever knew Carol was her most defining characteristic: her deep and loving devotion to her son David and her mother Juanita. The importance of religion to her was illustrated: It was that her son was born on a Thursday and first went to church on the following Sunday on his mother’s insistence. This suggestion elicited laughter from all those in attendance. She ‘put down roots’ in the area of Kansas City, both for her son, and to provide live-in care to her mother. Carol was active in her church’s choir.

David does improvisational comedy, and his mother frequented his shows. One of the favorite memories of everyone at the Roving Imp, Carol volunteered to play opposite John in a format called “Special Guest Star,” ahead of the set John asks someone without experience in improvisational theatre to join him on stage. John has great ability to support his fellow player, Carol had some great come-backs, and captivated the audience for half an hour.
