Just got back from Houston and my brother's made a lasagna fit enough for a dozen people. I wish I hadn't eaten on my way back or I'd have had a hunk.

Now, back to football!

mobile post: down at the brewery

Guess where i'm at? Brewery tours for five bucks with four beers? What's not to like.

Well, I'm off to Houston. I figured since I've blow off two days of work, I might as well leave early today.

Thursday, September 27, 2007

Long ass night with Yo! last night. Good thing we have lunch plans because I need somebody to take me to my car. Good thing. I think this is the day we'll take it easy.

mobile post: drinking the beer

Yo!'s about to break at Lala's. He got into town earlier in the day and its been a bit of bar hopping.

Attempting to kill the DVR, just finished off Layer Cake. Daniel Craig's great. At least I knew he was British. The movie's not bad, either. And that scene with Sienna Miller? Good stuff.

Labels:


My 5 am call's over and now I've got a quandry; go back to bed or stay up. I'd stay up for sure, but Yo!'s coming to town and I'll probably need my rest. Oh, the questions.

Labels: ,


Woo hoo, my 3 am call's been moved to 5 am. Glad nobody called me.

Woo hoo, I get to work at 3 am. So I don't know if leaving here at 4 compensates.

How is that Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors but I didn't know that he's British? From Wales, to be exact. Still. I guess I never saw an interview with him. Anyway, he's in this 310 to Yuma film with fellow bad ass actor Russell Crowe. Funny, one Brit and one Aussie playing in an American Western.

In my attempt to clean out the DVR for the new TV season, I decided to finally see Taxi Driver (taped off of HDNet). I didn't think I'd be starting at 5 am, though. See, I woke up and I figured I'd start the week up right. Or, at the very least, early. Not only did I watch the movie, but I made breakfast!

mobile post: at Antonios

TVs to the left of me, TVs to the right of me. Well, three in front of me, but I swear there's one right behind me, too. I don't know how I've survived football Sundays before.

Labels:


Played some cards last night and emjey won. That pretty much invalidates every victory I've ever had if that sad sack won. Now I think its time for kill my Sunday by doing nothing. I'll start on the couch.

And that's just the bar tab. Not good for a man on a budget.

mobile post: monster!

This guy's pulling into my office complex. A different kind of work going around here these days, I guess.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Nice story from that wasteland called Georgia: Police Question Armless Man In Neighbor's Death (from incognegro, of course).

Well, that sound I just heard was the sound of the Tigers season just about coming to an end. It was a good run, I guess.

What's up with hotmail? That's the biggest piece of shit ever. It wasn't working in firefox last week and now its not even coming up in IE. Besides that, do they ever make any changes to that application? There's no search and everyone else has had that for years. Shit, I say

Labels:


One less piece of crap in the back yard. No more broken hot tub. My brother made the last few pieces disappear.

Labels:


Sunday, September 16, 2007

I've got a ton of pictures that won't come up. I'll figure it out next week at work.

Labels:


The Lions are 2-0!

My brother's did some work this weekend tearing up the hot tub.

mobile post: at the Backstage Bar

The show's over just in time for us to make last call. I distinctly remember making a comment questioning getting more whiskey. But moderation's for quitters.

mobile post: QOTSA 2

A coupe more shots, one from a distance and the other a close up of something.

Labels:


mobile post: QOTSA

Not the best pics but here are a couple shots from the show. If only my phone wasn't so shitty. If only I had gotten some voice clips of JMVC screaming out “Joshua” nearly constantly.

He's thinking. Of what, i don't know.

mobile post: my own death?

I shouldn't turn that.

mobile post: the 70's lives again!

The second opening act, Howlin' Rain. Bringing 70's rock back.

Where's his bell?

mobile post: from La Zona Rosa

The show bill. Daxx Riggs just finished up and he was great.

mobile post: from Lavaca Street Bar

A couple of Irish whiskeys.

So there goes the stripes tickets.

Friday, September 14, 2007

Taking it easy tonight, but tomorrow's the Queens of the Stone Age show with JMVC. The rest is probably warranted as I don't see us taking it easy.

Labels: ,


Somebody f'd up down the street. An 18-wheeler ran into/tore down the overhead power lines and knocked out power for a couple hours in my neighborhood. Good work, ass hole.

mobile post: waiting on the #5

They're coming for us all. Well, me but I'll be behind all of you. Headed down to the Crown to meet up with a jamiliya who's in town for ACL Fest and I'm actually going home at a decent hour.

Labels:


The Wookie has landed. Well, on my desk in the sports corner. My award for having the highest scoring rookie in my league up in Michigan. They do such cool stuff in that league. And when I say “cool stuff”, I mean Jager.

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

The White Stripes bailed on ACL Fest and their concert at their concert at Stubb's. Damn them! Well, at least QOTSA are still playing Saturday night and I'll get a refund for the Stripes tickets.

Labels:


With all the Monday Night Football excitement, I forgot to water my lawn. Good thing as its pouring down rain this morning. Too bad I forgot to bring in my lawn equipment and refuse bags. Even when I win I lose.

Glorious football. I feel like shit but I wasn't planning on getting off the couch today anyway.

mobile post: Birthday wishes fulfilled

Tai Chi and his lady friend bailed on us, but we made it to 6th Street for some Flaming Dr. Peppers. Emjey asked for it, and how can I refuse a spry 25 year-old? There might be some video of this coming (though I've been saying that for years, haven't I?).

Labels: , ,


Friday, September 07, 2007

Well, I need to get the heck out of here! Tai Chi's coming to visit tonight and my place is trashed. At least my brother's gone for the weekend so that'll make things easier.

Labels:


My brother called earlier and it sounds like the price for my free stay in Vegas will be dinner at this place called kokomo's in the Mirage. Average check is $65 and from looking at the menu I'd have to only eat an appetizer for that to happen. All I know is the food better be better than that shitty Beach Boys song.

Thursday, September 06, 2007

JMVC pinged me a few minutes ago; I think he thought I was going to Vegas this weekend. I could only hope. I'm not going until late October.

Labels: ,


OK, confirmed, I'm going to Vegas!

Labels:


My boss had a suggestion for the Vegas trip: go Thursday night instead of Friday morning.

Labels:


Woo hoo, the NFL's back tonight!

Labels: ,


Wednesday, September 05, 2007

My brother called me and invited me to go to Vegas the last weekend of October. The Breeder's Cup is going on and that'll be good for some gambling fun. And a friend of my brother's is knows the ponies. That'll be good so I'll have somebody to blame for my losses.

So i haven't killed the one shrub yet, there's even a new bud or two.

Labels:


I went home at lunch and my one shrub in the front is tilting. I think I might need to tie that one up or something. Or something!

Labels:


Not much going on yesterday though I did get a late breakfast at Austin Java. And now I'm off to work!

Labels:


Sunday, September 02, 2007

We have our second shrub planted. Well, more there's no "we" in this. Anyway, it's there in the distance. And that's the end of the front yard for a bit. I've put some more mulch around and will now need to finish off the backyard.

Labels:


The first picture is the silverado sage with some rosemary in between. The second one is of some tomatoes and other herbs against the fence.

Saturday, September 01, 2007

Went out with the JMVCs last night and ended up crashing at their place. I've been sweating off the booze in the back yard but I think I need another nap.
