The time has finally come to say goodbye to Austin. This is something I wanted to post on Wednesday, the day we left, but we had to deal with some last minute problems. We packed up the truck on Wednesday morning and were on the road by the afternoon. The first night we stopped off in Monroe, Louisiana and stayed in a La Quinta. Ehhh I shiver with disgust just thinking about it. I would have slept better if I was on a cold slab in the middle of an artic storm. My skin itches just thinking about the dump. Thursday was a loooong day. We got on the road about 7:30 in the morning and called it quits...

Man, I can't believe how much I haven't blogged this month. I have had a ton of stuff I wanted to post but we've had a lot going on. It also doesn't help that I pretty much turned off my brain two weeks ago. When I get home I sit my ass on the couch and stare mindlessly into the TV for a few hours. It was cool for a few days but now it kind of sucks. Anyway, it's almost time to say goodbye to Austin and hello to Raleigh. I can't wait to get this move over with.
To the entrecard folks, sorry I haven't dropped hardly anything in awhile. Things have been hectic and I haven't been spending too much...

Am I the only person that thought Elton John's Tiny Dancer was a song about Tony Danza? Realizing that it wasn't totally blows my mind.

This post has been long overdue.
Well, you know that itch that I scratched a few months back? (no? Then update yourself homeslice: link) I don't think I scratched it well enough because we ending up buying a 2008 Harley Davidson XL1200N Nightster. When we were looking around, I was looking for the Baby Blue/Black nightster. I soon realized I'm not quite that comfortable with my sexuality to pull it off. Instead, I went with the colors that I've been drooling over since first seeing the bike, Orange and Black. B-E-A-utiful! I can't wait till we get settled in North Carolina and I can hit the roads....

We are back from our weekend trip down to South Padre Island, where we went to do some deep sea fishing. The whole weekend was a blast besides coming down with a full blown cold.
When I posted about leaving town we were already on the road. We left Austin on Friday around 6PM and arrived in South Padre around 2AM. By the time we got everything unpacked and settled in, it was closer to 3AM and we had to be at the boat by 7AM.
When I laid down for our little nap, I noticed my throat was feeling a little raw. By the time I woke up it felt 10 times worse and know my sinuses joined in on the fun....

We are currently on our way down to South Padre with Sharon and Eric. Tomorrow we will be going out on the Gulf for some deep sea fishing! I will be putting my mad fishing skills to work. I fully expect to catch a great white shark...then I will club it to death. I need to practice my clubbing skills for that trip down to Antartica...look out baby seals!
Have a good weekend!

Metallica's new album, Death Magnetic, is right around the corner. The first video for the album is 'The Day That Never Comes', and it's pretty good. Well, the video kind of sucks but the song is pretty kick ass. I've "sampled" the entire album (Thanks to mininova) and it lives up to the hype that's been going around. Many so called fans say they haven't released a good album since Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, or The Black Album. I say every album from start to finish has been pretty good if not great, even St. Anger. But I think the latest album should satisfy those fans of the earlier...

A few years ago I saw the Robert Rodriguez movie Once Upon A Time in Mexico. The special features on the DVD included a '10 Minutes Cooking School' where Robert Rodriguez cooked up something called puerco pibil aka cochinita pibil (check the link for some more information about cochinita pibil). His presentation had me really interested in trying out the dish...plus it looked really good.
Even though the feature is listed as a 10 minute cooking school, it's really more of a 5 minute one leaving a bunch of holes that you need to fill in yourself. I tried the dish out and it was just ok. At that...

Google announced the release of their open source browser, Chrome. I came across this at MarketPlace via this link.
Being the one that likes trying out new things I quickly downloaded and installed it. Installation is painless as I would expect. After everything I've read about the browser I was expecting to be wowed...I haven't been wowed. I don't see myself moving away from Firefox anytime soon. It's still too early to call this thing a dud, but it continues my lack of interest in the tools Google offers, besides the search of course.
I know I'm in the minority when I say Google's offerings...
