Moments ago, after an intense 15 min. interrogation of my health history by an unenthusiastic blood mobile assistant, I climbed atop a recliner, outstretched my arm, and relinquished my veins to the phlebotomist. As she inserted the needle into the crease of my arm and tubes of thick maroon streamed...

If you were ever lucky enough to attend a birthday party at Showbiz Pizza Place or even have one there yourself, then surely you'll remember the rinky-dink rides, germ-riddled pools of multicolored plastic balls, and perhaps the most memorable component, the Rock-afire Explosion band. A lot of...
Show us the last thing you bought.
Listening to my iTunes earlier this morning, I was lucky enough to rediscover an "awesomely bad" gem by local musician and "political philospher" Larry Shannon Hargrove. Ladies and Gents, here's the "Barack Obama Train"... again. View the original post on the "Barack Obama Train" here.
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.
Minus the shorts, of course. Shannon McGarvey in new Marmot and wellies!
More photos here. Last Saturday, the kids and I went out to Emma Long Park, a local camping/hiking/lake swimming park for the birthdays of folks from church. Hubby had to stay home because he was working on a church project that had a drop-dead deadline of Sunday afternoon since he had to fly to CA...
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...
Photojournalist Linda Solomon, whose work has been featured on television shows such as "Oprah" and "ABC World News," makes a stop at the local shelter Posada Esperanza as part of her nationwide photographic project "A Picture of Hope." Solomon's project, which asks children to capture their hopes...
Liveblogging from Netroots Nation 08, though don’t be too impressed because all that means in this case is I’m sitting in a hallway on the top floor of the Austin Convention Center while the next-to-last session of panels for this year is about to wrap up. Lots of people I see look fatigued. I...
FRIDAY (7/18): The Strange Boys. I like this local noise-soul band almost as much as the fact that tonight's show is ABSOLUTELY FREE. Sharing the bill are classic country-folk the Black and Austin's most recent buzz-band, Harlem. 10 p.m. Hole in the Wall, 2538 Guadalupe St. Free. 477-4747,...
i've really dropped the ball on this here blog for the past months. there likely is not a soul still tuning in to the life and times of me any longer. guess that frees me up a bit to go crazy. or something. so why now? why return after months of stony silence? and where in the deuce have i been you...
My favorite season of the year is Spring. Spring is when baby animals are born, flowers are blooming, and everything is turning green again. In Texas, Spring is when the bluebonnets bloom. Texas never looks more beautiful than during bluebonnet season. The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas. It...
Even though the Fourth of July holiday pushed the Blanton’s B Scene back a week this month, the art party promises to be bigger and better than ever. Tonight’s festivities celebrate the opening of the museum’s latest exhibit, “Exquisite Visions of Japan: Prints from the James A. Michener...
Nominated for eight Academy Awards and ranked as one of the 100 greatest American films of all time by the American Film Institute, the 1971 film “The Last Picture Show” returns to the big screen tonight as part of a double feature with the equally esteemed film “Hud.” Directed by Peter...
Spotted in Waikanae (an hour north of our office) last week while we were heading to a beauty spa for a story: a lovely and well maintained Austin Ten.
From Inigo Montoya's repetitious vow to avenge his father's death, Westley's echoing promise to Buttercup and Vizzini's cry of inconceivability, the 1987 film "The Princess Bride" is full of enough one-liners to warrant a full-fledged Alamo Quote-Along. Chances are, if you grew up in the '80s, or at...
It's been almost two months since I first embarked on the UK visa process and now all the documentation — application, biometric data, loan information, university offer, proof of accommodation, and passport — is finally out of my hands and onto the British Consulate General in Los Angeles,...
