Severely not blogging

It's a real travesty when I get into a good grove re: blogging all the time and then, quite suddenly, life throws the kitchen sink at me. Apparently this phenomena runs in the family. Bullet points, perhaps?

• Moved into new house. It's great, except for the rat(s?) and broken dishwasher and dryer. Suddenly the advantages of living in an apartment complex begin to shine through. I am, however, loving the extra space and backyard and place to grill. If anyone knows how you get a landlord to do the things he says he's going to do on-time, please let me know.
  
• Started taking classes at Rice again. Diffy. Homework every night eats up my free time in the worst way.
  
• Still working too much. Building a blog/social networking experience for my employer. Basically the best summer job anyone has ever had, ever. And I really like how my current is turning into a career segue for some very hands-on, technology-minded marketing job down the road. I would be a lot happier if it didn't chew up my summer days.
• 2x 2 miles/day jogging regime around the new neighborhood. There's quite a lot to see around the Richmond/Montrose area.

Something ranty will follow soon, I promise.

Not Quite Dorsia, but it'll do

Dinner at Benjy's with the bro!

My New House

I really, really need to get a new camera. After all, how am I supposed to gloat about my awesome new place without any accompanying pictures?

Google Street View, I guess!

...so fucking creepy.

Anyways. Yes, I am now a proud resident of the lower Montrose/upper University Place. Now I can trade my white-collar Museum District pretension for the tastier, trendier pretension of living in the most liberal part of town.

Friends are like friends, man

Oh, TMCM. I've been a fan of this alt-weekly comic since the late 90s, when my aunt would ship bundles of the Austin Chronicle with chocolate and presents from Texas to my podunk home in Florida. Hipster since the age of goddamn 11.
