Heard

While waiting for the Wilco show to start at ACL, I heard the funniest thing from a shirt-less man holding a beer:

 

Any man over 30 with a six-pack...he's gay.

Only in Longhorn country...I really wanted the longhorn cheerleader outfit, but I'm not Toddler size.











Mt. Bonnell - This view never gets old.












Row row row your boat

Texas Texas Yeehaw

So I made it down to Austin yesterday. Definitely happy to leave work yesterday but exhausted. How obnoxious were me, LB, and ER at work just yapping away about ER's bday and going to ACL?!

Anyway, here are some pics I took with my phone while running around Town Lake. Yes, I ran with my phone. Cut me some slack, my sister dropped me off!

Craigslist and the oldest profession

Damn, I'm glad I took my ad down! Don't want to get busted. JK.

Gross!

There's nothing more disgusting than watching some dude with a mouthfull of chewing tabacco and spit into a cup.

Safe Cupcake Amendment

"Parents in Texas lobbied to get a “Safe Cupcake Amendment” added to the state’s nutrition policy. The measure, which passed, ensures that parents may bring frosted treats to schools for celebrations."

OF COURSE this would be a freakin priority in Texas! Why don't you think about hmm, the motorcycle helmet law, maybe pay your teachers more???

Lotion

Don't laugh but this stuff is really good. Normally, I lotion up my hands before I head out...and it's hard to turn the key, lock the door, etc with my other lotions. But with this stuff, it really gets in the skin. I noticed today how easy it was to leave my apartment and then realize that I forgot something and unlock and lock my apt up again.

Just what our fat asses really needs

It sounds so good if you have no taste

Difference

Difference:

Younger guys at the bars ask if you're on MySpace or the Facebook

Older guys hand you their business card

Jeff

Jeff Buckley...damn why is he dead?! Damn the song Last Goodbye is so good. Even hurts to listen to it.

4 Hours

Work yesterday was effortless and a blast. I basically spent the 4 hour shift playing video games with my favorite kid in the world. Any 6 year old who at first thinks his testicles are his brain (because they look like brains) and that his "balls" floated around inside his body is ahead of his time. He now knows there's your balls not your brain. Anyway, he kicked my ass in Super Monkey Ball 2 and threw it in my face. And when I happen to win a round, all of the sudden, we're "both winners." Whatever! I beat you.
