Well, guess it's nice to see that LJ didn't just take this down due to inactivity.

Probably wouldn't have posted anything, but a favorite little restaurant closed 1.5 months ago and I just found out.

Fare thee well ABC Canteen. I didn't get to go as often as I would have liked, but you were always on my mind. In the ~1.5 years since you opened, you ( Read more... )

If ever going to be spending extended periods of time in Houston, can console myself with wonderful stores. Jack-in-the-Box, Sonic, Carl's Jr, Whattaburger, Red Robin, Bedrock Comics, Half Price Books, Movie Exchange, and a terrifyingly active CCG community.

I went along because, what the hell, but ( Read more... )

Almost 3 days without power. Items in fridge have started a rebellion and need to be put down for the good of all. Cold showers bracing yet wonderful. Dominion is full of teases, but at least better than Pepco (who have kidnapped the sacred Snoopy for their nefarious deeds). Brain melting.

I don't know when the invasion of rabbits began, but those little bastards are getting cheeky. I saw a rabbit lying down for the first time, hind legs splayed out behind it. I had no idea they did that. I thought it sprained its hip or something, running down the hill ( Read more... )

CBS weather warning: "...seek higher ground. If you are traveling, turn around. Do not drown."

I have zero interest in watching anything Kiefer Sutherland is in, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Japanese people speaking Japanese in is new show. With this, Heroes, and Bones, I think TV is officially more progressive than Hollywood.
