OK, I’m back. :) I got in and out of New Hampshire without altercating with any Libertarians, and I even did some research for all of you while I was there. Since it’s coming up on Thanksgiving, I figured we’re all starting to think about holiday gift giving. So I collected some information, brought it back to the Lizard Labs… Read more »
This morning I found a small wooden elephant on top of my monitor. I have a suspicion as to which of my houseguests placed it there, but it was a little startling. All I put up there was a pinwheel, mardi gras beads, Darth Maul’s head, a tiara, and my Invasion of the Monster Women toys. Oh, and I’m back… Read more »
So I was all set to condescend to someone who said they were coming up from Dallas to Austin, because Dallas is obviously north. But I thought I would protect myself by looking up the elevations of the two, and it turns out that Austin is officially 38 feet higher than Dallas. Serves me right.

I have learned much from living alone for the past five months. I create less trash than I thought. Being in a vegetarian-only space is more important to my sense of well-being than I knew. I like hitting snooze several times on the radio-alarm clock and waking up slowly in the morning. I hate being the only one who ever… Read more »
I’m not picky, I’m survival oriented.
Isn’t there some kind of disease that makes both of your arms so tired that you think they are going to fall off? Because I have it.
On Route #3 Bus, Burnet/Manchaca, southbound, morning, re: admission to the University of Texas at Austin: Girl: I just need to be a foreign student and then I’ll get in. Don’t we have a quota on foreign students or something? Boy: Ummm…. no, I don’t think so. Girl: Or people from Delaware or something?
