Only good for a week:
This link is Sister on the cover of the SFWeekly. Here’s the rest of the inside story.
I forwarded the link to the cover to half-dozen different people, and one response was something along the lines of, “So talented, two children that are so talented.”
I’m not so sure, even by Austin standards, I tend to regard us slightly off-center. Weird. Could be me, though. At least Sister is on the cover, that’s worth about a week of fame, more than 15 minutes.
Things I like to read:
Round a-bout, 9/17/04 10:48 AM, ya’ll said:
> I’m here 3 weeks and the offer letter comes. YOU ARE SO THE MAN!
> You said they would hire him in August and you ARE SO RIGHT!
A missing point from that memo? The unedited version? Had something to do with security.
Shout out to TFG for pointing me to this:
What’s odd, it’s a Dallas news source. As if they know anything about redneck. Anyway, the article’s about bass fishing. Halfway through the second page (second screen, really), there was a quote about the fight of pound and half bass. I’ll go one better. I had a minnow attacking a worm Friday morning. The damn fish wasn’t as big as the worm! That’s fish with attitude. Then, there was also the bit about having a swimming pool built and only using it for casting practice. Cool.
Unrelated:
I took a break from the computer and wandered over to the shoreline, not much more than ten meters away, and I flipped a “pumpkin seed fluke” into the water. There’s one particular fish, and I’m sure I’ve caught him (her) a time or two. I’ll swear, up and down, that the fish looked at me, I mean, he gave me a sideways look, and then took off for deeper water. That was after he’d been feeding right along the shoreline.
Unrelated around Austin:
Austin City Limits Music Festival got started on Friday. Since there were no free tickets for me? No backstage passes? No perks? Nothing? I’ll avoid it. Tourist tip: drink lots of water. Bottled water. Half pint costs about $9 per bottle. Drink up; it’s hot out there. The most eastern stage backs up to Barton Creek. Don’t even think about spooking my fish.
Overheard:
“Yeah, Kramer would be really cute, if he’d get a haircut.”
