Some of last night, I had predicted: a full house, people in costume, a funny little intro. Smiles and anticipation.
And then…well, you had to be 30+ for some of it. They were just music videos. And you just watched. Or sang, if you knew the words. I hadn’t known maybe the first 5 songs until […]
Alamo Drafthouse has been one of the best things in Austin to me, always. I have been to movies, Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Animation, and Mr. Sinus Theatre. I have seen that thing where they get everyone drunk and have them make a movie. I have been to events that sell out weeks […]
Running in to people that you knew from a former life is depressing. Makes you realize what you lose.
So, I knew a lot of people when I had a job. Now that I don’t even leave the house unless we’re out of milk, of course I see someone I know at the grocery store.
Old me: […]
Didn’t Know I’d Be Taking A Guilt Trip
Closed Published by The CK January 26th, 2007 on Some Go SoftlyOnce in a while, I do something nice. Don’t let it fool you, I don’t want you thinking you can get anything out of me. But I really, really, really didn’t want to Bowl, not for anyone’s sake, not even for Big Brothers Big Sisters. But I’m doing it. Grr.
I’m a team leader, which means, […]
After yesterday, we were exhausted. We headed down the east coast to Napier. We had the day to do whatever we wanted, and of course, all we passed by was wineries, so that’s what we did all day.
I didn’t think it was very much fun. They serve you wine begrudgingly, and we were even buying […]
I have to admit that the link to this site was on the NaNo message board, and if it weren’t for that I wouldn’t have known about it…have any of you seen this?
I like it…
That Other Paper
Austin Needed this, I think.
So if you saw the Sunday paper, there was an article about the local meetings that the NaNoer’s in Austin have been having. If you even followed that story to J3, you saw the back of my head. I forgot to mention this episode because I forgot the article had even come out, until someone […]
I have once again spent a day not writing. We went to a “Hollyweird” Anniversary Party last night at a production studio, but I was still up at 8 am. Whoo me, right? Well, we decided to go get groceries and breakfast tacos (Rudy’s Rules!!!) and clean the house and watch three hours of football.
UT […]
Book writing is supposed to be boring!! And hard work. I always picture people pulling at their hair and pouring over research texts (before the internet), not eating, drinking heavily - in misery, not the kind I condone.
But listen to this y’all - I’m having fun. In between the blogging and computer drama […]
Took the parents to Cap. City Comedy Club to see Gabriel Iglesias last night. You might have seen him on Comedy Central or Last Comic Standing. Thursday night shows (I had no idea) are longer than Friday/Saturday because there’s only one show. There were two opening acts, Martin Moreno and Noe Gonzalez. Gabriel was up […]
