Cycles Gladiator Wine

I was checking the weather report this morning and this newsline caught my eye:

“Nude nymph not allowed in Alabama restaurants.”

Logically, I clicked on it. Turns out that Alabama’s ABC board has deemed the logo of Cycles Gladiator wine “too much” for Alabama. I could rant here, but I’m not since I’m sure you share my feelings anyway. So I clicked on over to their website and wrote them a letter. I hope it made them feel better and perhaps shed some light that Bama is an awesome place to live and we’re not all “that way.”

Hello there!
I live in Alabama, and I just wanted to tell you that the fact that my state will not allow you to sell your wine here is just ridiculous. I’ve heard of a lot of dumb things come out of this state, but this is at the top.

I have not enjoyed what I’m sure is an amazing product that you have, but next time I go out of state I’ll have to try it, just to give my state’s ABC board a kick in the pants.

Keep up the good work and awesome logos.

My 25th birthday is this Friday, and if anyone wants to get anything for me, I’m obsessed with these handwoven hemp tote bags from Mothology. So French and so divine!

Hello there 21st Century. My name is Malinda, and I’ve been waiting to join you for a while now. Now that I have my super swell Iphone 3G, I can now enjoy you and take artsy photos of my fave glassware and my china cabinet and then edit them using this real neato app called Polarized. See? Golly 2009, you sure are A+! Love, malinda kay

Um…sorry

Needless to say, I have been trying to catch my breath upon arriving back stateside. Haven’t quite caught it yet, but hopefully this week I’ll have a chance to blog and tell all of you lovelies about my Italian escapades, some wonderful food I’ve been eating out of my garden, and about a million other things too. Thanks for still checking in on me, and please excuse the pitiful lack of posts! But for now, I must scurry to Kamin’s house for Oct/Nov’s bread pudding photo shoot! Mmmm…

Arrivederci!

Zack and I are in the Birmingham Airport, on our way to Roma! We’ll be celebrating our second year of marriage on June 9, which is just crazy. Here’s a picture of us just taken here at the airport (we’re very excited and sleep-deprived), and a picture from our wedding day.

Hopefully I’ll be able to do some updating while we’re away, otherwise, see you in a couple weeks!

Ciào!

My mom is one of the smartest people I know.

Here’s my favorite video from my weekend in Rome. It’s my mom translating Latin off of Trajan’s column. Not a lot of people can do that, but she can. After I stopped recording, she insisted that she didn’t do a good job with the translation and that it was a jumble of words, but I still think it’s top notch.
