Beer
It’s been almost a year since I’ve had a beer. I would get terrible migraines sometimes after just a few sips of beer. I didn’t know why until I read a study documenting the correlation between beer/red wine/red apples with migraines. Since I do have trouble with migraines (not just beer-related) I have tried to read up and educate myself on what causes them. Some...
EPIC VP FAIL
The first serious female candidate for executive office was just undercut by a younger woman with a fraction of the experience, who will enjoy her candidacy soley because an old white man picked her out of a lineup.
If I were a Hillary supporter, I’d be really pissed off right now. (via spiegelman, seagull)
Since it is Unfollow Friday, I will finally let it be known that I am a Hillary...

“I have offered all the candidates to come on my show, the Republicans just...”

I got a job!!
I start on Tuesday!
After my first full week in Austin, I have...
Toured some bars on 6th Street
Been to Zilker Park for a picnic/tailgate of sorts
Swam in Barton Springs (well really just made funny noises as I tried to tip-toe into the cold)
Attached my Texas license plates to the back AND front of my car (also inspected and registered said car)
Ate at a restaurant, The Oasis, that is on Lake Travis
Gone to chain stores/eateries that we didn’t have...
my hands aren't that tiny
Jake: you're just going to get spiteful about missing me and turn it into disdain for me. eventually you'll hate to even think of me. then, you'll start giving an intellectual dude tiny handed HJ's in an Austin bookstore.
“I want to open a cross-dressing store called “Susan B. Anthony.”

Uggh to the tenth power
We were supposed to have our gas turned on today so we could finally have hot water. We’ve taken cold showers all weekend. Well, I missed the guy that came to turn the gas on by one minute exactly. In fact, I passed him on the stairway when I was walking up and he was walking down. He told me hello.
Now, we have to wait until the 21st (the next available day for them to come out). We...
All moved!
I am now living in Austin, TX! I’m still pretty exhausted from the move and from thinking of all the things I need to do. I have an interview at 10am tomorrow.
I’m watching The Roast of Bob Saget now though.
Coincidence
I just realized that the pants I wore to work today on my very last day, were the exact same pair of pants that I wore to work my first day 5 1/2 years ago.
while watching the olympics
Announcer: And the Chinese have an epidemic going on and it's called GOOOOLD FEEEEVER!!
Jake: No, I think it is called SARS.
Today
I plan on getting sick on too much ice cream. Possible update with pictures later.
“Oh, yeah. He’s so funny and predictable. You are going to miss that.”
– My boss referring to a mean email our CEO sent us
Subject of an email from my mom.
“Why would a JPG document that is in color when set to a color print not print in color even though all other color documents do print in color. I can’t find a setting on the document that is causing it not to print in color?”
Yup, all in the subject line. I love her.
“Whatever you do to my daughter, I’m going to do to you. Have you ever...”
– My dad
Questions
I have been asked numerous times the same 2 questions since I’ve announced my move (mostly from people at work and I fully contribute this to my announcing that I was moving more than a month before said move).
Do you have a job there yet?
Are you all packed?
Just to clear the air, the answer to both of these is “no”. As soon as I am asked either one of these, my annoyance...
Friends Forever
I’m pretty excited that The Zack Attack episode of Saved by the Bell is on right now.
Always the last for everything!
rhondalynn:
Alright Bitches, this is for you. I finally did it. Can’t make any promises but I figured if Coye is Tumbling I guess I could to. Think of it as a going away present for Erin.
Well you aren’t the last for EVVVERYTHING! *wink* This is my roommate and future fellow Austinite!
“You wouldn’t know cute if it came up and slapped you in the face with...”
– Me to Erin, because of her comment on my previous post
