The White Shirt Club

A Cute Squirrel this morning

Yay - that's us below - the white shirt club - at the arboretum hanging out on the cow statues. We were trying to escape the heat. It sure is a hard thing to do.

I finished Book #7 - The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - very good book. About comic books and lots of other stuff too, like romance, mild homosexuality, and war.

I also saw the movie Howl's Moving Castle today. Also entertaining. This is an animation movie.

That's all, getting tired, andI have not done my lesson plans for the week.

8 more work days till my summer official starts.

Happy Father's Day to you dads out there!

Homestar Runner Old School

Homestar Runner Old School

This website is hillarious. In that strange, funny, Napolean Dynamite way. I guess. I think these guys just make stuff that is funny to them and it ends up being funny to lots of people.

Anyways, Kyle and I went to the Alamo Drafthouse on Saturday night to see the live Homestar Runner creators, the brothers Chapman, with their funny never before seen stuff. The Homestar Runner puppet was there too.

I think if you click on the picture it will take you to the website. Check out Strong Bad emails, they are funny.

with a lot of crap!

Brunch at Fonda San Miguel's

...is AMAZING!!! OMIGOD!

That's where we went today for that anniversary meal. Cuz we didn't go out last night because we went over to Kyle's brothers because his partner's family was in town and they were making dinner. More amazing food. Kelly's mom makes these delicious homemade cinnamon rolls. M-WAh!

Fonda San Miguel's is Mexican interior food, not Tex-Mex, which I believe Austin has a whole lot of this (Tex-Mex), and not very good. I like border Mexican food much better.

I'll start with the appetizers section of the buffet: guacamole, cerviche (M-Wah!), mushrooms, some other fish stuff, fresh fruit. The veggie section, for vegetarians and veggies sides: chilliquilles (sp?)- corn chips with verde sauce, cheese, and sour cream; some damn good migas (Kyle stated, "I didn't know that migas could taste that good."), refried black bean, some squash thing. Then there is an entree section which had 2 kinds of chicken (one mole kind), beef, and something pork. Then a desert section (the waitress said they have one of the best pastery chefs, I believe it): a variety of Mexican cookies, a mousse with alcohol, many types of cakes, and the best tres leches cake I ever had.

My favorite thing: a corn pudding/souflee - absolutely delicious!!!

If anyone is ever in town, has money, and wants to do a brunch at Fonda's, let me know, we can make reservations. I (and I'm positive Kyle) will accompany you, show you the ropes, visit that buffet table with you as much as you like, shamelessly and boldly. It is so worth it!

A Negative 1 Year Anniversary

That's right y'all. It's our negative 1 anniversary, because in one year today we are getting married...ACK, only one year left to plan, ACK!

I have tried on dresses last weekend, which was very exciting. Bridemart SUXS! They were rude and didn't even help us ( I was with Ash). Serendipity Bridal was absolutely delightful. They have plush furniture, snacks and drink when you walk in, and they helped us. But I was quite worn out after trying on dresses at just one place. The lady that helped us recommended I order in December. Who knows what my body will be like then?

Kyle is taking me out for our negative 1 anniversary. It was all his brilliant idea. And now I must think of something to top his brillance...muwahahahaaaa!

A Small Break

School's out for the summer...whoohoo! No more psycho 7th period, with kids yelling at each other, calling each other names, or yelling at me. That was really the class that drove me crazy. And 4th period was pretty bad.

I have one week off until I start summer school. So only 4 more days. Although I have been up at school already twice to finish packing up stuff. I guess it is sort of a break.

I finished Book # 6 - Dreams of My Father - Barack Obama. It was an interesting read. I like reading about how politicians get there beginnings. Even though the focus of the book was more on race and not politics. I really like Obama. He seems level headed.

I'm working on Book # 7 - The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - which so far is about comic books and other things.

This past weekend I saw Star Wars, which was eh... not anything spectacular. The dialogue between Anakin Skywalker and Padmi was LAME-O! I was embarassed for them.

On Saturday, Ash and I somehow ended up in the Whole Foods area like 3 or 4 times. For no reason, we just couldn't figure out what to do with ourselves. And Kyle the decision maker was doing other things, so we were lost.

Yep, that's it. Till more work starts, then more work ends, and then we go to Chicago...whoohoo~
