Help, help!

There’s this cold white stuff all over the ground and cars and trees and stuff!

What’s the stinking TERM?

Monday, February 24th, 2003

Ok, people - it’s 2003 already and nobody can seem to decide what to call the decade. Is it the “Oh-ties”? The “Aughties”? What are they going to call the seriously dumb television show in 30 years based on this time, a la That Seventies Show?

4 hours in Austin

Monday, February 24th, 2003

Better late than never to join in! Since David Nunez says I’m not allowed simply to say “sleep” when asked the question, “What would you do with four hours free in Austin?”, here are my thoughts.
Geocaching - I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, but never gotten around to it. [...]

Where there’s smoke…

Friday, February 21st, 2003

The other day we took delivery of our new Louis Phillipe panel bed, and I ran out to get a dust ruffle and a new mattress pad and hub went to get our Oriental rug (which looks an awful lot like this) out of storage and I washed the new sheets and cleaned up the [...]

Update

Friday, February 21st, 2003

I’m sure you’re all dying to know how my boob’s doing. For those playing at home, I had a biopsy in 9/02, then a cleanup surgery in 10/02, then have been battling the wound since.
Last week it was completely closed and relatively pain-free. Tonight it’s opening back up and hurts like hell. [...]

This makes it better

I found out how to say “I love you” in babyese, since a baby told me she loves me.
“Eh suvv sum!”

Don’t Even Bother

Thursday, February 20th, 2003

You know what, don’t even bother explaining to me the antipathy that straights have for gays and gays have for straights. I don’t understand it, I never have, and I don’t think I ever will.
Straights: gays aren’t going to make you want to wear lavender and arrange flowers, unless you like that sort of [...]

Real stupidity, or just not thinking?

Thursday, February 20th, 2003

I was reading someone else’s blog and I felt that I needed to comment here, without naming names, because I think it’s pretty rude to go incite a comments war.
The post was about the recent anti-war demonstrations in Austin, with pictures. The caption was something like “This is what Texas looks like”. A [...]

Meetup II - The Revenge

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

The meetup tonight was very nice. I didn’t like the venue at all. Parking was non-existant, they were out of half-and-half, and the coffee and service were cold. It was nice to put some faces with names, and the political talk was scarce. There was plenty of talk about Christina Aguilera’a [...]

Meetup

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

I’m going to the Blog Meetup here in Austin tonight. I’m a little nervous because upon reading the blogs of the others hwo have RSVP’d, looks like they are all extreme Bush-bashers and active participants in anti-war protests. I really don’t want tonight to turn into a big political discussion.
I’m not [...]
