Composer Nico Muhly is filing dispatches on America as he transports the contents of his late grandmother’s house from Tuscon, AZ, to the East Coast.

I just came from England, where I spent a week eating nothing but stodgy British food, so I had the most insane craving for nachos—such a profound craving that I ate nachos supreme at the airport in Las Vegas. I did not eat Flatbreadz, because the name sounds like a girl who has been cast out from Flavor of Love. Later, I saw a sign featuring some sort of transsexual holding a machine gun. Is it possible that I can see her nipples through her pink tank top? It’s a pity they couldn’t issue her some matching pink firing-range headphones. At my grandmother’s house, I found some kind of ointment called Unguentine in the bathroom cabinet. On the tube, a hand that has either been burned or flayed raw is poking at the capital “U.” They don’t make labels like this anymore.

This is what Grimsrud was looking for when he was shouting, “Unguent!” in Fargo during the kidnapping scene. Awesome!

Those supreme nachos look…interesting…
No comment about the ointment!
P.S. Pretty sure “Flatbreadz” was a cast member of “Flavor of Love”..but didn’t get to far enough to compete with New York.

Just like to say hi will come and chat a little later just finishing off some homework, and believe me it is not easy writing in the heat here at the moment.

Definately will not go to Vilamoura anymore, 6 Hour rounds of Golf and 4.5 Euros for a beer , we will stay clear of the Vilamoura golf courses this year, and the so called free shuttle bus turns up if you are lucky.
