The list has been updated including rsvp’s, there are TONS of free shows but many are requiring rsvp before a certain time, so if you don’t want to be left outside the fence this year read the list, print it out do whatever you want with it…

Back for another burrito tonight, machaca, still $3.50. Love this place. Check my blog for my experience earlier tonight at Quizno’s by way of comparison. Living the high life now that I’ve discovered couchsurfing, all cheapskates should sign up!

I finally found the place, it’s quite a walk east (1501 East Yandell) from downtown. I had the Szechwan Pork lunch special for $4.55, it included rice and a cup of hot-and-sour soup. With a pot of hot tea and $1 tip, I got out of there for $7.50, not too bad, but I wasn’t really full either. My waitress Maria is cute but, alas, no hiphuggers…

I like how they use “cafe” to describe that cafeteria. cafes where you can smoke indoors? you can’t even do that in Paris anymore. take that France.

I was seriously just about to ask UC today if there was a place that had a decent salad bar that wasn’t $7.99/lb like Whole Foods and Wheatsville. And it’s a drive-thru? You made Miss Lazypantses day.

wow. Seriously. My friend’s Tom Tom or whatever GPS system in his car with the British accented female voice tells you to “bear right.” Kind of cool except when she tells you to bear right into a non existent road. *shakes head*
I couldn’t find the apartments and none of the people traipsing through West Campus seemed to know where it was. I just wanted to try something new… Use my primary form of communication, my words, to find places, instead of using google which takes forever on my phone. Since the phone on the other end wasn’t being picked up and what was I going to do with this bottle of wine? Can’t get on the E-bus with that. Live and Learn

There’s also a small dog park on the corner of Riverside and I-35. I drove by the other day and I’m pretty sure they were having a dog party. I should have stopped by to see the hot guys with crazy dogs!

If you go to Epoch Coffee House on North Loop, you can choose to pee in either heaven or hell. So, I will name it second best restroom.

I want a dog now.
Instead of doing homework like I should, on this beautiful Sunday afternoon I went to the Austin Humane Society. I had no intention of buying or even wanting a dog at this time in my life when I share an apartment, but one look into those big puppy-dog eyes...and I was doomed. I went with my boyfriend who is dying to get a dog to see if there were any yellow labs to adopt, but I think I came out more excited than he did to get one. Right off 183 and Anderson lane is a building filled with cats and dogs. Personally, I had always gotten dogs from a breeder, but after seeing these dogs in cages all I can think is that I would be saving a life...a dog’s life. It was fairly crowded and I was expecting the worse of smells when I walked in. To my surprise it was very “alcohol” clean, nothing of trash on the floor and a friendly face to greet you when you came in. Straight in front were all sorts of cats and people could take a cat into a private room to see how it would react. That was nice, but I am more of dog person so I followed the sign that said DOGS and came to a big steel door with a sheet of paper that read, “Do not touch dogs through their cages.” Well that is just crazy talk...anyway as soon as I walked in the smell I had been waiting for found me...but you get use to it fast. The room lined with aisles of cages was full of emotion: couples picking out their first pet, kids so excited to finally get a dog and of course barking. I fell in love with a yellow lab named Vincent who was so shy and would just lick my hand and a little dark brown puppy ( I have no idea what kind) that just wanted to jump in my arms. (The no touching rule went right out the window). Upon leaving, I was glad to see the line to adopt was long and people still have a big heart for animals. I recommend going if you need a smile. Now I have to find it in my budget to get a dog!
