8/10/09 - Therapy

This is the vantage point I had from my roller bed at the Chiropractor's office today. One of the nurses drew a cartoon (quite well!) on the markerboard which depicts a wife massaging her husband's back with a rolling pin on the kitchen island. With cookie dough and batter set aside on the counter, the kids look on, while the wife nags her husband, "If you had made an appointment with your chiropractor... the cookies would be done by now."

8/9/09 - I'm Not Gay...

...but I love rainbows.

8/8/09 - Watermelon Graveyard

Recently, I've been on a bit of a watermelon kick--and that's probably a gross understatement. And, rather than filling up the garbage cans so quickly, the empty lot next door has become the resting place for most of my watermelon rinds (hey, they're 100% biodegradable). One side note: I didn't realize there was a hornet inside that watermelon until well after I took the picture--otherwise, I would have seriously reconsidered.

8/7/09 - The Other Institution

While I like UT and the Longhorns as much as any other Austinite, I have to say, this campus is a wee bit more attractive to me. Oh, and did I mention how much I hate Farmers Insurance right now?

8/6/09 - Oltorf St. Exit

I saw this woman on the Oltorf exit in south Austin this morning. Austin is replete with sooo many unfortunates and undesirables that it isn't even funny (unless you see one singing to himself downtown on a Sunday afternoon--then it's a mite humorous). This woman, I would categorize as the former of the two. My gut feeling: I think she's telling the truth. Had I any cash on me, I'd have surely helped her out. Anyway, her sign reads:

"Boss Gave My Hrs. to Her Friend. NEED RENT $."

8/5/09 - Between the 1st and 2nd Floor

I love glass bricks. This was off the landing between the 1st and 2nd floor of the office building which houses my attorney's office.

8/4/09 - Southbound I-35...

The most irrationally designed freeway exit I have ever seen has to be the southbound I-35 exit off Ben White. I'm really surprised there aren't more accidents on this off-ramp. Northbound, featured, has a flyover... Southbound? No. When did I take this picture? While waiting through four red lights to get on southbound I-35...

8/3/09 - Attempted Robbery in Progress?

Considering they were $2.50 a piece a couple of days ago at H-E-B, I wouldn't say that $6.99 is a "low price."

8/2/09 - Hawaii Five-Oh...

I took this on 6th Street in Austin this afternoon, and it definitely qualifies as interesting. I wonder how radically different it would look if I were piss drunk at 2 am...

8/1/09 - A Tie

Both of these pics are the epitome of unplanned and random. And just so you know, that isn't Mountain Dew in the first one... This was taken at Barton Springs pool this morning, and I have to wonder how many other times that kid didn't make it to the bathoom today...

And I'm doing fine, thanks!
