Show us the last thing you bought.
I heard "Creator" on Grey's Anatomy last season, then forgot about it. Then Nora put it on her MySpace, and I got hooked on it again. I looked up some other stuff by Santogold, and I'm liking what I hear.
Just a little warning about the second video. There is some heavily stylized and allegorical violence. I thought it was very creative, but you may not. Fair warning.
I'm on a posting roll today. Not much to do other than go pick up my paycheck and study for the THEA.

In honor of the upcoming Olympics, what could you win a gold medal in?

We drank a lot. Not as much as we had planned....well, maybe Leslie did:) That's really all I can say about this portion of our adventures, so enjoy the pictures.
DAMMIT. I had this awesome post all finished, detailed and full of pictures, and Vista crashed. I hate Vista and the bastards who made it. Anyway, let's try this again. Less detail, but pictures are at the bottom, and I've included locations in the picture descriptions, in case you ever want to visit:)
I'm home. I'm sunburned, lethargic, stuffed with food, and severely, severely freckled.
I didn't want to come back. I would have been happy selling everything I own, buying a bike, and moving into an apartment in SoCo. I'd have to live with about a dozen people, though...those apartments run about $1200 a month just for an efficiency.
The thing that really struck Leslie and I was that everyone in Austin is active and healthy. Everywhere you go, there are people walking, jogging, roller blading, and biking. I suppose this is just city life, but pair that with the remarkable ease in finding healthy, delicious, and cheap food (vegetarian or not), and you've got a winner in ATX.
We ate very well. We didn't overload on anything other than coffee and alcohol...I'll talk about the latter in another post. We ate mostly Tex-Mex, and we refused to eat at any chains or any places we could have eaten in Tyler or Denton. Chains suck, local is best. The staff is friendlier, the food tastes better, it's generally cheaper, and you get a more authentic experience than you would get in boring-ass Friday's or Applebee's.
Once I get all of Leslie's pictures, I'll do another post.
Off to Austin, back on Sunday night. Pictures to come, I'm sure.
]]>Leslie is in town, and she and I met up with Isaac at the pub. It was a sloooow night; there were maybe thirty people in the entire place, and it was karaoke night, too! I remember years ago, you could barely move around on karaoke nights. Things change. I'm sure between the smoking ban and gas prices, no one really bothers driving over anymore.
Had to grab food afterward. Leslie totally bitched out some drunk-ass teenager who tried to sit at our table...she even threatened to call the cops. It was insane. And hilarious. I told her she was a bad-ass.
One more day until Austin!
It's short one, but I can't miss ToT.
