Well, I thought I was going to have sort of a chill evening. I had drinks with a MySpace friend for a bit and was walking home when my phone rang to meet up with friends over at Dallas Nightclub. After a few Tuaca's I ended up on the mechanical bull. Kevin, whose birthday it was, demanded we all have our turns.

Fun software I am trying...

Well, I tried MSN's and Google's Virtual Earth software programs where you can see satellite footage for pretty much anywhere. I really like Google's. Had a lot of fun over at El Arroyo the other day with it. The staff kept asking me to look up addresses so they could see what areas they grew up in changed or where they lived to see if their car was there when the picture was shot. You can check Google's out here and MSN's here.

I was IMing someone I work with and she had asked me about what browsers I use. Firefox and Explorer is what is on my laptop right now. She talked about this browser I haven't heard many people use called Avant Browser. I like it. The formatting issues on some pages Firefox would mess up look great, and it is pretty simple to use. You can find out more about that here.

This pic makes me laugh as I have no idea what the hell I am looking at. This was taken back in March during SXSW at Red Bul House.

The week is not moving...

Or it seems like it isn't. I can't wait for Saturday. I don't know why but I am excited for it. I definitely need to have some friend time this evening as I can't wait for two days to pass. I have been enjoying the Halo again. Love the Halo.

Oh, and I just finished watching all of season one of The OC. Can't wait to rewatch the second season when it comes out in a month. Hey, don't judge me.. It's my new Melrose Place.

Damn Keys...

I lose keys all the time. It is so bad that a good friend of mine gave me a key finder for my brithday. I have found my normal keys, but if you lend me a key, I will lose it. Tonite it was the key to the apartment complex clubroom that I needed for an event I was doing for them. Hopefully it will turn up. Good thing one of the managers was around to let me in. I am in so much trouble.

Update:
The key was found!!

So this is Lance Armstrong's bar in Austin, named SIX.. It just opened up last week. Are they going toname it SEVEN now? Ha, they should put a big red X over it and put a 7 next to it.

Oh happy day...

I am a little blog happy today. But, it hasbeen awhile since I have been a posting fanatic. Another link to share. Angry Alien's 30 second bunnies is updated!!!!

Funny & Cruel prank...

I was looking at Dawnita's blog and she had this clip on there. WARNING! Harry Potter spoiler!! But the clip is a drive-by prank at a Barnes & Noble in Dallas.

Let it go to voicemail...

Last night I didn't feel like interacting with the world. I put the cell phones on silent, made a nice snack for myself, and watched a few episodes of the first season of The OC. Around 11 or so, I got up to get a glass of water, noticing I had a couple missed calls. Caitlin, a girl I know, wanted to go to Dallas and didn't want to go on her own. I I reluctantly agreed to go. One thing about Caitlin, as sweet as she can be at times, drama and her go hand in hand. It requires a lot of energy to hang out with her.

So I go.

As soon as I arrive, friends of mine who were there, invited me to go downtown with them. But I had decided to go to the bar with Caitlin so I decline. I hang out there and let Caitlin do her thing.

Near the end of the night I see her and some friends of hers collecting their things and start heading for the front door. She was just going to leave me there, not even saying goodbye.

After she left, I stood at the bar, tilted back the Lonestar to my lips, and swallowed the last sip of cold beer and smiled.

That is what voicemail is for...

I am an idiot...

Last night I went out to answer the call from Josh, a friend of mine, who happens to bartend at SOHO. This leads to the Ritz, Headhunters, Lavaca Street, and others. Crown on the rocks, Tuaca, and Lonestar were with me the entire night. Ran into a lot of peoples. Always good times.


I prefer going out on my own and meeting up rather than going in a group. Do you find that in groups that you spend more time deciding on where to go rather than actually going into a bar? I can't stand being in a committee. Wanna go here? How 'bout there? Why not there? IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!! Pick a place people! So much more fun running into people, I love the randomness.

But why am I an idiot. Well, besides my big mouth, this time it was what almost happened. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find my iPod shuffle. I was like WTF... Where the hell is it? I left for work this morning with the assumption it was lost in the cab ride home. After work, I happened to find it under a shoe, and a big shoe at that. Idiot.. (say it like Napoleon Dynamite)

Samantha is pinching my behind...

Julianna and I being silly...

yeah.. I am that cool...

Losering...

I have been going out all week. In a nutshell having a birthday month. It has definately been a different week. The project I have been working on with an Austin startup magazine I pulled the plug on. It was unfortunate, but it needed to happen as the entity can't seem to keep it together. I didn't want anything I set up to fail due to their issues. Anyone who unleashes their logo on the public by charging their friends ten bucks so the owner can have spending money on her trip to California is just something I couldn't be a part of.

In other news, I had drinks with Cyminda, who is a friend of mine at one of my favorite hangs - Barfly's. Just a great place to get a 'happy meal' and listen to great music on the jukebox. a happy meal is a Lonestar and a shot of Jagermeister) I ran into Heather, a friend of friends, and her new guy there also. Come to find out she 'recycled' him from their circle. Didn't even recognize him.

Good times...

One long week...

Well, my week isn't getting any shorter yet. It's the weekend and that means work. I have been working on Project FFF all week and it is coming together. I will give details on how to be part of the fun on FFF.

On another note, I have been getting into podcasting since iTunes has made it so easy for me to subscribe to them. I love the Dawn and Drew show. I just find it funny. No particular reason either. I really like having my iPod shuffle. It is so light and easy to use. I used it to DJ my Napoleon Dynamite Prom and it turned out great! My next purchase is a portable hard drive.

I don't know why I am up so early after last night, but, here is a picture of the prom. It was a blast!!!

Ah, waking up at 6am...

Can be prouctive. Especially when you are doing something or others. Sunshine Kids. Hope they had fun.

Do you realize???

I have the rest of the weekend off!!! Sunshine Kids tomorrow morning then nothing but pools and parties for me. Gotta love birthday weekends. 36 and learning new tricks!!

So I finally chose...

It is a bittersweet enjoyment with today's events, but after much thinking, I got the iPod shuffle. It's tiny, light, and simple. It sounded better than what I had imagined. Definitely a good purchase. Now to look at accessories for it.. I like the water resistant sport lanyard.

Where will this take us???

London. I was in shock at what happened today. What's next? Is this over? Will there be more attacks? Who will we counter-attack? Unbelievable.

Busy Tuesday...

I had a very busy Tuesday. Worked on flyers and suck for the apartment complex, then in the evening was at 3 different venues for an event I am planning. Me tired. Big time. Working all day, but going to Dallas and Lala's tonite. If you want in you know how to get ahold of me.

A long weekend...

So it is the 4th of July weekend. It has been a long weekend of work for me. Last night drank with the neighbors. Ah, tuaca... Tonite is Elysium! Alternatove 80's!!!

So is the end of the world coming???

On July 3rd, NASA is hitting a comet with a projectile. Now I have to wonder, are we getting ready for the world to end by comet? I am going to start stocking up on Lonestar and Cheese Puffs. You can read a story on it here...

Melancholy is the new black...

I just watched a movie that for some unrelated reason resurfaced some memories I had completely forgotten about. More of a moment than a memory.

I remember the evening, walking from a show I had seen with someone, recalling the smell and sounds as we walked back to the car. I hear the shoes she wore as we walk across concrete, then asphalt, to cross a road. I can smell the soap she purchased when she was on a trip as she presses her hand into mine as we walk. And I remember her smiling.

It amazes me sometimes how we can get lost in our lives with the details that are required of us. Those details that cause us to forget certain moments of time. That memory is a couple years old from a past that is completely forgotten and done with. Well, not forgotten, but definitely a closed chapter. It first saddened me for a moment when it came to mind. The kind of sadness that you feel when think of something you lost or broke as a child. But the sorrow departed quickly when I remembered the rest of the evening that went with it.

And that was why I was smiling as I wrote this. It was one of my favorite memories of that moment in my life...
