Feast Day of St. Moloc & Last Thursday

Ah yes, perfect for this place, the patron saint of the insane, “Wow, that’s [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/spain/article/0,2763,1245856,00.html]crazy[/url].” That new book by Bruce Sterling, [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345460618/fishinguideto-20]The Zenith Angle[/url]? I was reading the bottom of page 66, and I’d include a quote, but I can’t figure out how to punctuate a character quoting a character in another book. And while Feast Day of St. Moloc & Last Thursday

Twilight zone

Maybe it was the guy playing the horn under the First Street Bridge. Perchance it was nothing in the mailbox, no bills (good), no money (bad). Some days, Austin lives up to its [url=http://www.keepaustinweird.com/]publicity[/url]. Might’ve been [url=http://www.littlecity.com/]Little City Coffee[/url] at [url=http://www.bookpeople.com/]Bookpeople[/url].

Two-meat Tuesday

I tend towards Democratic ideals, and I’m rather fond of a number of the [url=http://hotx.com/hot/bigbend/bbhistory/]projects[/url] done by the old CCC (I never can remember how many letters are in that name), and I try to stay away from political intrigue, comments and rants in both the horoscopes themselves, and right here. But an allegory has Two-meat Tuesday

Stops along the road

Read [url=http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=528&e=3&u=/ap/20040621/ap_on_bi_co_ne/wi_fi_rest_stops]this[/url] late at night. The [url=http://www.dot.state.tx.us/txdotnews/026-2004.htm]press release[/url]. Several stops are required. One must always stop and gawk at certain roadside art. Like Stonehenge II, the Cadillac Ranch, the boot farm, the frogs on Carl’s Corner, and so forth. Then, there’s the requisite Dairy Queen stops, the occasional foray (no purchase necessary) into the tinier Stops along the road

Dallas, a little longer

Saw [url=http://www.shakespearedallas.org/]Comedy of Errors[/url] on the opening night. The Dallas Shakespeare Festival’s version of the play was carried, in my mind, by the two twin man-servants – who get railed upon rather frequently. Not that being beaten, repeatedly and soundly by my master, is common experience these days, but I do heartily agree with the Dallas, a little longer

Life is short

Life is short Eat Dessert First (Amy’s dictum) Got an early wake up call for Saturday morning, off to Dallas for an overnight visit to the folks for Father’s Day. Friday morning, I settled in with some more horoscopes, then I looked at what I was working on, and I thought about it, looked at Life is short

Mining

Mining. I was stuck in the mine, most of Wednesday. The “Mine,” in my case, at least the way I see it, was all the work that goes into a horoscope. Plus, I was a little stuck for ideas. I’ve been reading, and been gentle amused by, Kinky Friedman’s [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006620979X/fishinguideto-20]Kill Two Birds & Get Stoned[/url]. Mining
