Texo-centric
The wind blew so hard today that some areas
around where I live lost electrical power.
As far as I was concerned, though, it was
just a beautiful, windy day, and I enjoyed
it by opening the doors and windows.
This natural catastrophe was as nothing to
the hail storm that recently hit everywhere
around my neighbourhood, punching holes
through windows, gutters, chicken coops, and
windshields, as well as denting cars all
around town. Some of the hailstones were
as large as baseballs. Again, I merely en-
joyed the day with open doors and windows.
The CopStop ice cream at Amy's Ice Cream is
coffee ice cream & real chunks of doughnut.
It's delcious. I also think the coffee fla-
vour is authentic, based on what my urine
smelled like later.
The alcoholic Grasshopper ice cream is also
extremely delicious, and so alcoholy that
the ice cream is extremely soft.
The Pita Pit also finally has two delicious
locations now established in Austin, one
downtown, and one near campus.
This is the only thing that stands between us
and alien invasion. And I missed its passover
tonight, darnit! :-/
