A short-lived but fun trip to Austin, TX this weekend where I was supposed to meet up with an internet friend. Unfortunately, the meeting never occurred but there were still some fun moments in-between the whole being sick part and finally coming back home, nevermind the fact that the girlfriend got derailed by work stuff on and off both yesterday and today... blahbidy blah blah..

The fun stuff in brief from the weekend:
- A lovely young waitress at Kerbey Lane Cafe with beautiful eyes and very expressive eyebrows.
- The frumpy young hostess at the same cafe who likely learned how to walk from her grandmother.
- Got some morning muffin...

- A conversation about things my g/f will use to dispatch of creepy crawlers. Only last week did she grab the first thing at her disposal when she saw a bug in the sink: canola cooking spray. Because you know if you can't kill the bug, you might as well keep it from getting anywhere as its little bug feet spin in place.
- $3 haircuts and not being able to get your money back if they're bad.
- Food from the Caribbean will make you live longer. The g/f's grandmother lived to 105 and the lovely woman at the Clinique counter at Dillard's (who herself was from Trinidad) agreed that I should have more callaloo, though I'd happily live off of beef patties, curry goat and rice & peas.
- My guilty pleasure, i.e. song that makes me dance and sing while riding in the car...


But shh, don't tell anyone. If they should ever ask, I listen to tough guys and metal stuffs like this...


Anyhoo... we made the best of the day and a half we had, and now it's back to the daily grind tomorrow. Boo. I know. I'll make the best of that too.

A late note: I did manage to use the word 'snooter' this weekend as well. Quite proud of myself to work that into a conversation.
