OD-ing on Austin

Sunday, March 16th, 2003

Four nights in Austin in the past week. Wow. Its like I live there now. Paul and I did the math and figured out that it would be cheaper to just rent hotel rooms every time we went up instead of leasing an apartment – so be it! There are so many stories I can’t […]

Are these spec-ads? Do people actually air this stuff? Am I missing good commericials because I’m too quick to skip them on my TiVo? This is some GREAT stuff! Back in the day when I was still in high school, people had this major issue with dropping their beepers in the toilet. I have no […]

First it was aluminium foil… then people started throwing CD’s in them… and now, people are putting WATER in microwave ovens and causing mayhem! Evidentally, this phenomenon known as “super heating” is well known — I dunno about you but I’ve never had a hot cup of water EXPLODE like this video shows.

Red, Blonde, and Blue?

Let me start by saying that I think that Chis is awesome. He’s fun to hang out with and is the life of the party when called to duty, but WTF is this? And if you’re so inclined you can see the full-on music video of how it went down here.

Austin City Limit

Friday, March 14th, 2003

Driving home at 2am from Austin is not the most entertaining thing in the world once you’ve had a few drinks in your system. I did make it home safe, but I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. Anyhow, my attempts in attending SXSW for music was a complete bust last night. I got […]

A couple of years back I spend a few weeks in London. To this day I’m not sure if stuff like this or this are really just “British-isms” or if they’re trying to be funny. One of those things that make you go – Hmmmmmm New Scientist reports that “Stupidity should be cured“! Thank GOD! […]

FIESTA!

There are only a few things I like about San Antonio. but I gotta say, this is one city that knows how to party… and San Antonio folk party ALL the time. Fiesta is coming up next month– a whole two weeks of back-to-back events, and its probably the biggest party this city has annually. […]

Perfume

Wednesday, March 12th, 2003

So I was at this wedding in Houston this past weekend, and my college friend Mefi was wearing the most amazing perfume… I LOVE IT. Its “Issey Miyake” and I’ve been told that its pretty expensive as fragrances go – I have no idea, but whatever it costs, its worth every penny. Just look what […]

Ok, the rising cost of gasoline is starting to get a bit ridiculous… check out this picture and this one from Yahoo. Apparently, My ***damn rock solid ghetto shiznit name is Rock Hard Kool.

Ok so people have been asking me stuff like “Do you use Trillian?”, “Do you like Trillian?”, etc, etc, etc…. I do actually use Trillian… but only for MSN, AIM, and Yahoo!…. My primary IM network is ICQ. There are three reasons why I don’t use ICQ on Trillian: * Complete lack of server-side contact […]
