the alamo and me

San Antonio knows how to party
San Antonio knows how to party
In the citaaay of S.A.
In the citaaay of good ol' drunks
In the citaaay, the Alamo City
We keep it rockin, we keep it rockin

It wasn't that there were a ton of people. It was that there was a hell of a lot of empty beer bottles when we woke up this morning afternoon. Ben and I were talking about it in comparision to his memorable Super Tuesday parties. It just comes down to the fact that people in this town drink a ridiculous amount. The turn out was good and Ben's shirt was the life of the party. I got him the T-Qualizer conveniently in time for his birthday. All had a good time and there was only one party foul of the night. That being when someone knocked over a glass after Rosenboom Jr. beat every challenger in the beer chugging contest. We didn't attend a single Fiesta event but we made our own for sure. The only person that didn't show was the Most Interesting Man. I was disappointed but I know I'll see him again soon.

Heh, heh. I thought last week was busy? I worked about 70 hours this past week and I'm tired as hell. I was at work from 830am one day all the way to 630am the next morning. 22 hours. WTF? And the night before I had been there till 130am. Several coffee runs were made. Had to do with a proposal and a kick-off of collateral at the airport. Definitely the most insane week I think I've had in my entire life.

Fiesta started in San An on Friday. And if you don't know what Fiesta is then think of it as a Mexican Mardi Gras. Which is a week long celebration of drunkeness. We were going to hit up the Oyster Bake but opted to go see Hot Fuzz instead. I think we made the right decision. Especially because Oyster Bake is supposed to be ridiculously crowded. Then again so is NIOSA but I'm so down for that. I want a giant turkey leg. This upcoming week is gonna be busy again. Thursday is the Current party and then Ben's birthday is Friday but he has an Air Force banquet he must attend so I'm taking him out for dinner on Saturday. And his mom will be in town that weekend as well so we'll be over at his grandmother's a lot.

Sleep is just not in my future.

But the best news of all is that I'm going to be in Hawaii June 30th thru July 6th!!! I'm stoked.

7-11 might be mating with The Simpsons. There's talks (but no confirmation) that 7-11 will dress some of its locations as Kwik-E Marts to coincide with The Simpsons movie release where you will even be able to buy Squishees.

If all goes as planned, the convenience store chain plans to refit 11 stores across the U.S. -- Richmond is an unlikely choice -- to resemble the front of the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store that Homer and other characters frequent in the classic cartoon TV series.

I hope and pray that there will be one somewhere in Texas that I can drive to with camera in hand. New MySpace photo what?

New HP: Order of the Phoenix stills up for you to see here.



As you all should know by now... this was my favorite book of the series so far and I'm uber excited about seeing it. Uber! I mean I freaking cried during the book. And I'll definitely end up crying at the same part during the movie. Here's a link to the teaser again.

Get here July 13th!

I've been ridirkulously busy as of the past week and a half. I didn't leave work before seven any day of the week last week. Deadlines to meet and RFPs to take care of. Had a horrendous time getting back to DFDub last weekend for two birthdays. Flight was cancelled twice due to stormtastic weather (which I would have greatly enjoyed if I wasn't trying to fly home) and then eventually delayed on the third flight. But nonetheless I made it in, saw my ladies, ate some OTB plus Babe's and wished my pop's the big one. While I was back in DFDub I expressed my dissapointment in San An for not having a Taco Bueno when Lauren told of a tale that there was in fact one Bueno in the Alamo City and that a girl we know drove from San Marcos to San Antonio just to eat there. So when I got back I started searching and found it. Oh yes. There is only one Taco Bueno and it is less than 10 minutes from my house. Heaven in a taco shell.



I made sure to get the facts on this Bueno. It just opened as of the beginning of the year and I was told that there would be 11 more opening over the next 3 years - which is also about the expected duration of my living time in this town. I am set for now.

Lately I've been using my lunch breaks to brush up and re-teach myself Spanish. Apparently it is having a deep mental effect because I have had two dreams in complete Spanish two nights in a row. One involved Mandy with a boyfriend who was a larger version of Enrique Inglesias sans the mole. The other wasn't interesting enough for me to remember but I know it happened.

And I'm jealous of you bastards back home who got snow again (!!!) this year. What is the world coming to? Snow in April in Texas? Say what? I didn't get snow here but I got lots of cold and lots of rain. There was even a rain drop that fell directly into my eye. How this happened... I'm still not sure but my eye hurt from the freeze of it all.
