Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

Hub and I went to San Antonio this weekend to see The Dark Knight in Imax. It was my third time seeing it. Hell, I may go see it again. Because it’s just that good.
Anyway, the theater dude announced to the sold out theater to fill in all the seats, yadda yadda. [...]

My husband and I have been to Restaurant Jezebel several times, the latest of which was tonight. I keep meaning to blog about it and keep forgetting.
Today was our 10th wedding anniversary, so I made reservations for Jezebel and let them know we had a celebration. When we got there, we were seated [...]

I was asked to fill in as a panelist for SXSWi this weekend. The details about our panel aren’t online yet, but it will be about ARGs (of course). Tony Walsh and Dan Hon will also be on it.
We’ll be in one of the rooms on Saturday at 3:30. Come by if [...]

Good Mourning Tree Co. (or Good Mourning Tree Co.) has evolved! Woohoo!
They have gone from littering my house to littering my blog!
Well hey, at least they’re not killing trees for the paper to advertise now. Hyuck hyuck.
I find it amusing that the name in the email address they used three times is the [...]

…you can buy ammo at the grocery store.
Something tells me that asking the Austin Whole Foods where they keep their .308 might be a bad idea.

Technically, this is a Pepper Shooter from Hog Island Deli, consisting of a marinated cherry pepper stuffed with prosciutto and sharp provolone.
Realistically, this is just too Goatse-esque to be truly comfortable to gnaw on it. (Please do not look up Goatse if you are my aunt.)
