Posted on November 13, 2010 by Steve

My site via Google attracted this person and not Facebook…for a change! The person in question is an old high school friend named Darren and I was initially notified by Picayune sending me an e-mail about his post in the … Continue reading →

Number two with a bullet?

Posted on November 13, 2010 by Steve

Here’s a photo I had to clear out of my iPhone from the recent Dallas trip. I think there’s numerous jokes one can tell regarding the phrase on these boxer shorts. Living in a region with scores of Mexican restaurants, … Continue reading →

iPad Cake

Posted on November 12, 2010 by Steve

Good thing I saved the box mine came in so Somara could have a reference and cake materials wouldn’t get all over mine.

Finally reaching US shores this year to celebrate his 70th birthday, Nowhere Boy tells the story about John Lennon’s formative teens in Liverpool before he became the Pop music icon the West recognizes. It’s no secret that I have never … Continue reading →

A belated Simpson tradition like the TV show

Posted on November 11, 2010 by Steve

I figured that I could still give my two cents in November since Fox usually airs the Halloween episode well after the holiday too: The World Series is so much more interesting and important. Last year I forgot to either … Continue reading →

There’s a party in the lobby!

Posted on November 11, 2010 by Steve

The big Yo Gabba Gabba! show is drawing closer and to promote it, the CPC people had a display of Brobee and Muno next to the table selling tickets. I couldn’t resist getting my picture taken by it. May those … Continue reading →

Happy Carl Sagan Day!

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Steve

Which has prompted me to start re-watching his landmark PBS show Cosmos (all episodes are available via streaming on Netflix!), a program I loved as a kid 30 years ago. Finally, something on Public Television that wasn’t for “babies” or … Continue reading →

Interpol

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Steve

Pretty old news since the show was about 12 days ago and the Dallas trip kept me wonderfully occupied! Nancy and Jose were gracious enough to let me tinker on Sunday while we were watching football, a legacy of the … Continue reading →

Last taping of Austin City Limits

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Steve

I thought the show’s name being attached to another abattoir concert/festival was awful enough, now the PBS cornerstone will be moving to a new venue capable of “accommodating” over 2700 people. Good luck finding a place to park with it … Continue reading →

Happy Eighth Anniversary Kim & Rad!

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Steve

The weather in Austin may be pretty fine today but I still wish I could travel back in time to the great long weekend we spent in Phoenix celebrating this day. I’m short on words today, other than I hope … Continue reading →

History repeating?

Posted on November 3, 2010 by Steve

The results of last night weren’t too surprising. I’ve seen this country in foul moods before and watch it give in to knee-jerk, stupid moves (electing a B-movie actor being one); I recall the stories my grandparents told about the … Continue reading →

The Big D trip

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Steve

“Dallas? I don’t you goin’ to Dallas at all. That place is crawlin’ with crack-heads and debutantes, and half of ’em play for the Cowboys.” – Hank Hill. We had a nice long-weekend (Friday night to Monday morning) at our … Continue reading →

The daily Fort Worth cow commute

Posted on October 31, 2010 by Steve

This is the main event on Exchange Street in Fort Worth. Besides, the really impressive tour of the exchange, pens, barns, coliseum and history; a simulated cattle drive twice a day is what people come to see. If you’re a … Continue reading →

Halloween 1995

Posted on October 31, 2010 by Steve

This was the last costume I’ve ever worn for Halloween and it was my favorite. How I wish digital cameras were more readily available because this is the only photo I have of me as Patsy Stone from Absolutely Fabulous. … Continue reading →

Minus the Bear

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Steve

These guys made another pass through Austin Wednesday night to promote their latest album Omni; I wholeheartedly endorse the record, see the KMAG page. Personally I was pleased and surprised to see them return to Stubb’s this Fall because they … Continue reading →
