Eww, sounds like Austin. – Hank Hill

Last night, my sister and I watched the episode of “King of the Hill” that we had DVR’d on Sunday. I was so disappointed that I hadn’t known about the plot beforehand. It really was too perfect. I went ahead and wrote a post on it for Austinist (better late than never).
I [...]

Around the capitol this weekend

Tomorrow afternoon I plan to attend Alex Ross‘ lecture-ish thing at the Texas Book Festival. I may buy his book there and get him to sign it (if he’s doing that). I’ve been looking forward to seeing him; I’ve been reading his blog for over a year now and have been introduced to [...]

Que mala onda!

Last night K and I talked on the phone for almost an hour and a half, reminiscing about college classes (and more). She reminded me of the telenovela curriculum we had to suffer through: “Destinos”. I checked Youtube to see if anyone had posted any of the “Destinos” saga up there, but it [...]

Documentary night!

C and I have planned to see For the Bible Tells Me So tonight; it’s showing for a limited time at the Dobie. My pastor sent out a church-wide email last Friday encouraging us all to see it, otherwise I don’t know that I would have heard about the film while it was still [...]

Season of Giving

Just found out on Sunday that the refugee family at our church is going to be included in the Statesman’s annual Season of Giving campaign. So get ready to give, y’all!
Yes, I know if it is only October, and the Season of Giving doesn’t happen until December. I do hope that the press [...]

Swimming at Dottie Jordan

Yesterday at church, N. (one of the girlies) cornered me on the stairs and asked me to take her to the pool that afternoon. She said that they usually get to swim in her class at day-camp, but that because of some bad-behaved kids, they didn’t get to swim this week.
So my sister and [...]

Driving on Guadalupe

Last Sunday, it rained incredibly hard. Like scary hard. I was glad that I was inside, watching a DVD with Leah and her boyfriend, even though I felt like crap from my allergies. Then my cell phone rang; my pal A. was stuck at the Movie Store with a dead car. [...]

“If that’s movin’ up, then I’m . . .”

Yes, I am quoting a Billy Joel song!
Leah and I gave our notice today to our landlady; this weekend we signed a lease for a condo across the street from my office. We really wanted to stay in East Austin, because that is where we were raised, and we are from there, but we [...]

I saw this scene and hoped my photo would do it justice.
