National Blog Posting Month – FIN!

I made it!

When Becky asked if I was going to do the NaBloPoMo thing again this year, I initially said no. I wasn’t planning to at all. I probably really shouldn’t have. I need to be working on other things…I have a lot going on that I should be devoting more time to. But I’ve [...]

Steak & Madden

After eating way too much turkey and other types of birds, Becky and I decided that a nice steak was in order last night. We ended up at Saltgrass and quickly realized that for some reason neither of us had ever been before. I’m not sure if it was just because we wanted red meat [...]

Let the Right One In

I went to Alamo South Lamar with Dan & Richard last night to see Let the Right One In. I can’t really explain too much about this other than it was a haunting movie about a 12 year old boy who gets picked on at school, and the 12 year old (more-or-less) vampire girl who [...]

Poultry overload

The last few days (and probably the next few days) have been a bit of a poultry overload. Thanksgiving will generally do that. We’ve been eating turkey and other assorted birds constantly since Wednesday…I think I might need to go somewhere and eat a cow or pig or fish sometime soon. I didn’t take as [...]

Geek shall inherit the earth

Since the start of the Presidential campaign season, there was talk in the comic book circles about Barack Obama being a fanboy. There were even rumors this Summer that he could possibly make a campaign stop at San Diego Comic Con International, but those rumors were quickly found to be untrue. Then, a few days [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sitting here in the dining room of the house I grew up in, writing this from my cel phone (so please excuse any errors). I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving! I hope that you are able to be with those you love (or at least tolerate) and have lots of [...]

Water Blogging 2 – Acqua Panna

Well, my first waterblogging review was such a success that I just had to continue the series! This time out, “From the hills of Tuscany” I’ll be drinking Acqua Panna:

A much larger bottle than most (25.3 fl oz), and glass also, but a good deal at under $2 ($1.60 on sale!). The bottle asks that [...]

From The Onion

This one hit hilariously close to home this year…from The Onion:

8% – Fish. You still eat fish, right?

Jennifer Gale Tweets

Jennifer Gale. How to explain that one to someone who doesn’t live in Austin. Trying some internet searches to find a good explanation, I guess his/her Wikipedia entry does as good a job as any. Here’s the intro, click the link for the full details:

Jennifer Gale is a transgender perennial political candidate in Texas. Gale [...]

Cheapest gas in months/years

I was just out running errands with Nathan and he offered to fill up my tank since I drove him around a lot the last time he was staying with us, and I’ll probably drive him around a bit again this time. I’m not dumb, anyone offering to buy gas is going to get taken [...]
