Just a quick how-dee-do as I am in the middle of a long-ass weekend (I don't return to work until Thursday...is nice).

Not much to report. Drove to San Marcos yesterday to visit Nay-nay. We went shopping at the outlet mall there and I bought three sweaters. Thank goodness it's down to the low 80s around here. I need help, ya'll!

The funny thing about hanging with Nay-nay is that no matter what we are doing or what kind of mood we are in, I immediately want to start hanging with her 24/7. It's weird. Reminds me of that summer in high school where we were attached at the hip, picking each other up from work, hanging with Jason and Brian at their strangely parent-less houses, and getting those guys who worked at the bowling alley to buy us alcohol. Yeah, we were cool! LOL...

I am treading water with nanowrimo. I can't complain because as of today, I am over 15K words and I haven't even BEGUN the big plot point. Huh. What can I say? I am a wordy mofo. 

iTunes can suck it. And you can quote me on that.I have been trying to transfer music from my back up drive to the laptop and ARGH! I am having to open each music folder individually. I wish to kill and eat iTunes, but I don't think it would be very tasty. But I bet it would hardly have any calories.

In bad news: my sister went all Marathon Man on my teeth in a particularly grueling cleaning session today. Ow, they hurt. Also, I keep getting streaks of light across my field of vision, so I can't wait to find out what that means. Also, tomorrow Davy-boy goes in for a dreaded test to find out whether or not his symptoms are indicative of the big C. All I know is, if he does have cancer, his body does not have the immune system to fight it. 

But I can't borrow trouble, so I'll just end this with a positive note: 25% off sale at deep discount dvd! I am SO there...

Thank you, sweetie. With him, we just take it one day at a time...

I've been to San Marcos! I've stood outside the Cheatham Street Warehouse and wished it was evening, and not 11 a.m., so I could go inside. It was a bit of a pilgrimage. If I'd been in Austin I would have gone to the Saxon Pub instead. Long, long story :D

Cool! San Marcos is a nice little town. I live less than an hour away and my friend lives north of Austin, so it is like a half way point for us.

I have been very remiss because as often as I've been to the area and all the time I've spent hanging at the university library (GEEK!) and partying downtown, I've never been inside Cheatham. Must remedy that in the near future...

The thing I remember about Cheatham was the railroad track running behind it. My friend Morgen, who took me there after I met him and a couple other people for brunch (I was in San Antonio for a conference) said that the damn train sometimes interrupts the shows inside the venue.

It's weird...I was just looking at their calendar and your boy Monte is playing there the weekend I am heading up there to visit some friends of the family. I might just have to check him out, seeing as how I know you have great taste in music (see: Cook, David). ^_____^

YES!!! You must go see Monte that weekend. And tell him that Anne in Madison sent you :D

Heh - okay! I just talked to the boyfriend and he is game, so now all I have to do is see if anyone else wants to go, too.

Woo!
