Gotta love Austin, only place I know that has things like Eeyore’s Birthday, which is the donkey in Winnie the Poo. I’d consider myself liberal, but this crowd makes me look like, hmmm, some ultra conservative. Well the Austin hippies come out of the woodwork for this one, I think they were even smokin’ weed [...]
Mothers in Hyde Park, the healthiest place I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’m struggling to find something on the menu that’s predictable in my meat and potatoes lifestyle. I try for the veggie burger, I ordered it saying, ‘just the patty, cheese, and guac’ — well maybe I was being too specific. All that [...]
I read a poll that said the average American watches 34 hours of television a week. I’ve expressed in the past my intense dislike for the TV many times in the blog, it goes past the conventional haters notions of what is bad and what isn’t. Of course reality television is shit, and most reasonable [...]
Had a jolly good talk with Manuelabor, it’s official this studmuffin is ‘off the market,’ as he will be getting married on New Years Eve in College Station. Hmmm, that gives me 8 months to find a date, what do you think, can I do it folks? Not to mention, thus far I’m the only [...]
Ashley teaches at Dance Associates, the recital was today in Westlake fancy pants land. Great outfits, cool kids (literally), and Ashley even let me pick out some of the music.

Far from dead flowers, the flowers are in bloom in the backyard. They are living despite the 100+ temperatures. It’s a joy to sit in the backyard and enjoy the smell, and watch Benny smellin’ all over everything. Kudos to Jenny for doing a lovely job with the planting, cultivating, watering, and upkeep.
Yea, I’m quoting Toby Keith, the ‘angry American’, someone please shoot me in the head. Alas, I can’t think of a better tagline for the day. The night brings us out to Pflugerville for Dawn and Tim’s wedding reception. The venue Knebel’s, a Shiner type bar on steroids, where the beer is two bucks and [...]
Holy shit this guy is cynical, popped this cd set in the changer about 3 months ago and finally finished this masterpiece of America bashing. Some right wing nutjob even went to the extent of mentioning Chomsky in his book 100 People Who are Screwing up America . Chomsky makes many good points in the [...]
The San Marcos outlet mall, a great place to go, Mike D, Mike P and I trying to find me a disco shirt for the pending Germany trip. We go to the Ecko store and find a belt with a buckle with a spinner on it, Mike D is intrigued. Geeze what will the think [...]
I used to think all you could do on a mac was surf the web, write papers and listen to itunes. Boy I was wrong –hahaha, you can surf the web, write papers, listen to itunes, snap photos on your built-in webcam, and do it in style. I don’t know what it is about this [...]
