The Fun Cooker actually exists!! →
Ok so it’s not just like the one on 30 Rock… but it’s the same concept!
thrueyesofarunner asked: It's so easy to screw up when cutting my hair that I have to go to over-priced places to get a proper cut... But they offer wine, fruity water or Southern Star beer (I guess they have a deal with them since it's brewed in Conroe). I always pass on it because I have no clue how much they'll charge me in addition to an already expensive haircut...I've always wondered but was too...

Lol I’m really glad I did my math correctly here. I had a couple of people correctly guess my birthday from this. I always get confused if I’m supposed to count today or the day of, etc. So good to know, at the very least, ya’ll think like me!
My birthday is in 15 days.
Just sayin.
I'm moving!!!
It’s official! My move date is May 7th. I’m excited but also a little nervous. This is the first time ever I’ll be living alone! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and my new job is quite a commute from my old place. I’m moving from north Austin to south Austin. For those unfamiliar, it’s like moving from the suburbs to right in the heart...

So I got my haircut and highlighted tonight.
I really kinda hate my cut. The highlights are great. The cut is awful. Like soccer Mom awful. I can’t blame my stylist, she did exactly what I asked. I feel like getting really upset is pointless because there’s nothing I can do to change it. I don’t understand why I’m being so calm. Maybe it’s the glass and a half of wine I had during the cut. When the hair was just...

In my opinion...
This weather is PERFECT! It doesn’t get below mid 50s or above mid 80s. Please stay this way as long as possible. Thanks.

It’s not officially a Bright Eyes concert until it gets political. Surprisingly this was well into the second half.

Not Wholesome
So apparently there’s a new Glee competition series coming out on the Oxygen channel this summer. To promote the series, they were custom printing things on the back of t-shirts. I stood in line for 20 minutes to get my t-shirt. When I got to the front, I told her I wanted it to say “McNasty” (of course). She told me I wasn’t able to say that because they were a WHOLESOME...

A conversation with a vendor at a festival selling...
Me: What kind of wine do you have?
Her: Red and white
Me: ... Ok but what type of red?
Her: Red... I don't know, Sauvignon or something.
Me: (Blank stare) Fine, I'll take the red.

SXSW Recap
I know you’re probably tired of seeing these, so I’ll keep mine brief. I got off of work a little early on Friday, so I can wander around downtown. I didn’t see as much as I had planned (never went to Fader Fort or Pure Volume although I had RSVPed, didn’t go to any of the big shows like Kanye, Big Boi, or the Perez party) I still had a lot of fun. I saw the Old 97’s...
So we bought a $9 bag of kettle corn at the free...
It’s HUGE!! Biggest bag of popcorn evah. Obviously it came out to the bar with us after. And obviously someone offered us big money to sell them the half bag left. And obviously I told them no because I was planning on eating the popcorn for lunch tomorrow. Duh.
A story
So yesterday I was walking around downtown Austin for SXSW/ St. Patty’s day stuff. I saw this guy robot dancing and there was a big crowd watching him so I started as well. There was an old homeless man sitting in the middle of the crowd on the curb of the street. He was clearly on drugs, alcohol, or had a long history of both of those things in the past. At one point in the dancing, he...
Things that happened last night:
Breaking and entering into my own house in the form of kicking down the door to our garage.
What has my life become?
All I want today is a green beer.
I hope it’s not too much to ask.

Living in 2011 without a phone....
Is miserable. So Friday night I lost my phone to the Going Out Gods (aka who knows where but I don’t have it now.) I was in a tricky situation. I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to wait for the iPhone 5 this summer. If I upgraded now, I’d have to wait another year or more to get the iPhone 5. In the meantime I went without my phone for almost 72 hours. (!!!!!!!!) Now some of you might be...

They sure are pretty today. I want to take one home.

A post about blogging
So I’ve been a really bad blogger lately. I’ll be the first to admit it. My friend Asi had to take me aside and give me a pep talk for the blog, in the interest of herself and my followers. As you all know, I started a new job 3 weeks ago. My job before that was minimal participation, and I usually worked from home (which in this case meant caught up on errands). I didn’t realize...
I'm so glad the porn blogs that are following all...

Twitter + SXSW
So because it’s SXSW madness in Austin, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on earlier festivals. I had a badge to the music part in 2007. (Side note: It was best thing EVER! I worked with music labels all through college and really wanted to work in the music industry. I geeked out at all the panels I got to attend!) Anyways, when I was walking through the convention center, I...
So I've had a piece of pizza for lunch the last 3...
And I’m on a diet. So I’m not sure how that works. I did lose 1 lb this week…. but I’m sure I’ll gain 3lb next week. C’est le vie. In other fattie food news, pizza with onions, bleu cheese, and avacado might be the best invention ever.
Tumblr meetup part 2
So it seems like there might be a Monday party too? Anyone know the status on this? @Lacey Unfortunately I don’t think I can get off… since I just started I hate to ask off for a day party. I was thinking of saying I have an appt and leaving at like 4-4:30…. but I don’t know if that’s a good idea….
I am NOT happy with Tumblr.
I really wanted to go to their SXSW meetup, but I don’t see how that’s possible. I’m guessing they chose the time because it was cheaper, but come on! It’s from 1-6pm. So not early enough to go over lunch, and not late enough to leave work at 5 and make any part of it. I guess I won’t be going again this year, but I’m still super sad. I shake my fist at you...
Ya'll are cracking me up....
It seems like there’s a lot of drooling and mouthwatering going on because of this post. Unfortunately I’m in the same boat. I had this over the weekend in Dallas at a place called Lemon Bar. Until I go back, I’ll only have my memories and dreams to keep me going. (And if you live in Dallas, you know what to do.)
