After a summer of cavorting in the peaceful, wide open spaces that shield the civilized world from Las Vegas, I will be moving to the paved human hive that is the greater San Diego area. The rent is pure robbery, but at least my room has an ocean view and breezes. I hope I am good at my job. And that the cement-to-plants ratio doesn’t drive me batty.

So here it is: that First Post, in which I’ll immediately enthrall you, dear reader, and win all of your little hearts forever. This is "thuh inner-net" though, so I can’t go my usual route of hanging around until you jam your tongue down my throat, thankfully leading us into that numb void known as the Purely Sexual Relationship. You know, the place where true affection means zip, and we can all go on in our blithely self-absorbed, emotionally unencumbered ways as usual. No no, making these posts readable is going to require some actual ingenuity and charisma. Either that or pics of my crotch, and trust me, most people reading this DON’T want to see that (Hi Dad.) So excuse me while I drain the beer and apathy from my brainpan, and pump my arms a few times to get its charge back. I guess I haven’t needed it in a while.
News: Today I passed the written part of the Texas Commercial Drivers’ License Test. What this means for YOU: you’re just one step closer to watching your zippy little Jetta pancake beneath the wheels of a clattery City of Austin bucket truck! Hahaha, you cell phone-dependent, VW driving Daddy’s Girl! Oh wait, that’s me. But only in off hours… Yes, soon I will be cruising with the rest of the CoA vatos in a 15-year-old vehicle that breaks in at least two places every time it leaves the yard, and was officially retired several years ago. It’s a great thing to let the city do its own inspections, no? Who puts this crap in the books, anyway?? All I can say is, that famous slogan KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD doesn’t mean implement policies to ensure that city employees and citizens alike start cruising 6th street scrabbling around on the stumps that are left of their limbs. As weird as that would be.
Other News: The weather here in Austin is absolutely unbelievable. And so are the amounts of caterpillar string festooning the trees. Whatch out, those lil buggers bite!
