Entry 125 - Cinco de Mayo!

Can't you tell?

I went out to celebrate with a few of my friends. My friend Bri is Australian, but here in Texas we all appreciate the value of our Mexican friends. She donned a sombrero, gave me her best war face, and I walked away with a priceless photo. Then I proceeded to celebrate my ancestry, and the minor victory over the French at the battle of Puebla...also, tequila.

Entry 124

Had that meeting with Stephanie over at her place. She had art everywhere -- go figure an artist would have a place full of her art -- and her desk had a familiar 'cluttered' feeling. We spent a good, solid hour discussing plans for her website over the course of the next two weeks. I hope to finish this one quickly.

Entry 123

Spent most of the day hanging out with a friend and watching. I haven't had the chance to visit very many houses up in the DFW. The ones I have seen tend to have elaborate walls, feel kind of tiny, and tend to have a good deal of leather furniture.

None of those are ways I would use to describe my family's house back home.

Entry 122

When your apartment's dishwasher suddenly stops working with less than a month's time left on the lease, sometimes you panic. Thankfully, I was able to fix it. It wasn't anything major -- just a jammed piece at the bottom -- but it gave us a good scare.

Entry 121

When you see a few of these surrounding a nearby Whataburger during a late-night run, you start to wonder if a late-night fast-food run was a good idea or not. Or, perhaps they were hungry too? Entirely possible.

Entry 120

It seems like no matter what we're doing, if Duran notices me taking a picture, he poses somehow as quickly and casually as he can. Can't catch that kid off guard.

Entry 119

It was the last printing of the semester at the NT Daily, so a few of them went out to celebrate. Sophia and Justin asked me to come by and have a drink with them at Lucky Lou's for old times' sake.

Entry 118

Had lunch at Dickey's with a good friend of mine. She knows I try to keep up with this project, and kindly asked me not to put her name or photo on here. I laughed, and obliged. It was a simple enough request.

Entry 117

I worked on Stephanie's website all day. Made some solid progress. We were supposed to have a meeting this week, but things got kind of crazy.

Entry 116

Derek went grocery shopping today. I think it's safe to say that he likes salsa and cheese. I suppose it's not unexpected from a Hispanic family, but still...it's a bit much.
