New Esquire is in, so there'll be a survey to mess around with soon. Probably tomorrow or next day on my lunch, if I get to actually not work through it. Work is picking up pretty hard - This month and next has me running around for the TYC all over the state, and the foreclosure counseling is starting to take off which is pretty good and all. The ( Read more... )

Friday morning I left for Kansas City and got in about two or so. I haven't been to KC in years, so I was a little interested in seeing if anything had changed with the people and the places. I knew my weekend's schedule was already filled the instant I managed to get the time off months ago, so I wasn't going to be able to see everyone I had hoped ( Read more... )

Bill died Saturday morning three weeks ago. Or Friday night. Apparently it was hard to get a handle on what happened. I couldn't really get my mind around it.Do I go back? Is that too over the top? Grandma is ok, I guess. She doesn't talk with us kids much anymore, and mom is fine. She keeps saying that 2009 will be better, but Grandma Garcia went ( Read more... )

My mom was here in Austin at about 12:30 am Friday morning. She left about 11:30am today (Sunday). I managed to get a dinner together so that she could see Nikki as well as meet Kim's brother, his wife, Dawn, and Brian. Dawn and my mom were in close proximity to one another for awhile and I think they actually bumped into each other without the ( Read more... )

Haven't done of these in a bit. Someone I know keeps putting this song in my head everytime I think of him. It's a good CD overall - I think Squirrel Nut Zippers got a bad shake due to getting some popularity when that faux-swing fad came around. They got tossed out of the mainstream with the garbage, which is pretty sad.

There's a man going around ( Read more... )

It's kinda funny how stupid I can be. After moving to Austin, I had figured things would be interesting, that I would have metric shit tons of things to write about and tell people about and call people about and... derp. I guess not ( Read more... )

I should have been on the road about a half hour ago, but I just couldn't get out of bed. I sort've figured I'd be having doubts, second thoughts, etc at this point in the game, but that didn't really help in dealing with it. So here I am, fucking around on my computer instead of boxing it up like I should be ( Read more... )

When I was working at AEG, one of the most annoying things we ran into was when the fans let their inflated sense of nostalgia get in the way of reality. People would frequently write and say "Oh things were so much better back in the day because such and such", and most of the time the "such and such" was completely made up. Or just such a broad ( Read more... )

Apparently the new "thing to do" is to Google "yourname needs" and see what comes out. I got several (including some for Seth McFarlane), but the winner by FAR - "Seth needs stitches in his hand. Seth has committed battery or assault depending on the local laws ( Read more... )
