there are two things I’m really good at. taking pictures is not one of them

Proper Fucking Booming

The Deepwater Horizon spill is bad. Really bad. But you want to know what’s worse? Uhh, language is NSFW. (Via MetaFilter, where the comments are, as always, priceless.) Those fuckers better not screw up my approaching Florida vacation, and they better not fucking kill off the 8,000 remaining endangered Ridley sea camp turtles that are [...]

Houston, 1969

From my friend Swapatorium’s flickr stream: Yep, that is Dean’s Credit Clothing 41 years ago, when it was actually a clothing store and not a music venue. Also, in the background: The Lomas & Nettleton Building originally housed offices, but was converted into a residential loft tower in 1999 and renamed the “Franklin Lofts”. Although [...]

I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache

Why yes, that is me, doing a down-down from a hallowed-out lawn flamingo while tailgating at a sold-out Jimmy Buffett concert. Here is my review from my first-ever Jimmy Buffet concert. I regret to inform you that I might now be a Jimmy Buffett fan. I am certainly no Parrothead, but I had a working [...]

30

It’s a tradition in my running club that you buy the club a keg of beer for Happy Hour, to be consumed at Memorial Park, when you have reason to celebrate. I bought a keg of Left Hand Milk Stout and neither rain nor lightening could prevent some hardy friends from consuming (most of) it. [...]

Babies are evil

Don’t you just want to gobble her up? I spent the last morning of my 20s hanging out with a 5-day-old kid. She is pretty awesome. I even forced an awkward CLH to holding her. I let her sleep on my chest while I laid on the floor, and she was all wrapped up like [...]

Rockers vs Mods

I was the Mod in a photoshoot Monday for the poster for the upcoming Houston Rockers vs Mods Rally. See more outtakes here. I hope our photographer, Jamie, has some mad Photoshop skillz because I look like a raging goofball in half of them. I had just met Crystal, the Rocker girl, about five minutes [...]

Big fkn deal

It’s official.

Whine & Grine

So I was mistaken in my last post. The photog did take a lot of pics of English Beat, and you can see them in a slideshow on the Houston Press website. Sorry Marco.

Soul Nite

CLH and I got married at the original Aurora Picture Show church and yet, in all our years together and in Houston we’ve never been members. We go to tons of their events and pay full price for each one, and we’ve always talked about joining but just never have. Until Friday. All last week [...]
