Thanks

I love the sound of that word. “Thanks” or “thank you” is something I love to say and hear. I hear it all the time, which makes me feel good about the world around me. When I don’t hear it, however, it makes me madder than hell.
This isn’t about something that happened recently, just a [...]

Happenings

Saw Once on Monday night, and was really glad that I got off the couch and spent the $8. It’s an independent film that’s touted as a musical, although it’s certainly not full of the typical musical fare you’d expect to find. It’s more akin to Damien Rice, with a bit more urgency behind the [...]

Two Things

1) I’m thoroughly convinced that Cold Roses is right up there with Heartbreaker in the “best Ryan Adams music” category. I know this is the opinion of others as well, but I just wanted to put that out there. If Cold Roses didn’t have “How Do You Keep Love Alive” on the first disc, it’d [...]

Confession

Sorry if this post doesn’t flow well. It’s one of those days.
This is difficult. I’ve only told a few people about this so far, and I feel that it’s best to just come out with these sorts of things. Just be honest. That’s the best policy, right? Yeah. So here goes.
I’ve begun watching WE. That’s [...]

I miss…

my mom.
I do. She came up last night to drop off her (my old) car for me to drive (CR-V’s in the shop). It was just what I needed, that visit from her. There was nothing special about the visit; she came up to the apartment for a few minutes, we had pizza at Frank [...]

Ok, I’ll bite

Two of my friends have done this, so I thought I’d do it too.
Go here and pick 5-6 words that you think describe me.

ACL Festival Schedule

I guess this post won’t be of any interest to those not going to the Austin City Limits Festival, but for those who are going, I invite you to some discussions about who to see. If you’re not going you can join the discussion too, of course. Here’s the schedule in case you want to [...]

Meme, because I’m without words

About a week ago, my friend Rebecca posted a meme and invited others to post it if they liked. Since I’m suddenly without words this week, I thought I’d go ahead and post it. So, without further ado, here are Eight Things You Don’t Know About Me:
1. I have a hard time remembering to look [...]

I don’t mean to be negative…

but it really irritates me when people call Austin “the ATX.” Why and how did this get started?
Do people from Texas really say this or is this just from the out-of-staters? I’m not from Austin, so I can’t claim to be a local who’s irritated with it. I’m just a native Texan who thinks [...]

Summer

It’s obvious that I’ve fallen into the summer blogging phase. Shorter posts, more fluff, less…me. I guess it’s because generally it’s a time when we can actually move around outside, and as a result we have less time to talk about ourselves and be all introspective and stuff. It really ends up looking like I’m [...]
