austin is awesome

Music: Something groovy overhead, hippie sounding organs with lots of triangle

Have I ever written about how Austin is so cool? Ok, so, after I saw the shrink I decided to find a coffee house so I could get a promised review outta the way. Ended up at Austin Java, lovely place. I left because, as per usual, I forgot my damn earbuds and some asshole designer (web design, I think) decided to bring her office to the coffee shop AND TALK VERY LOUDLY AND ANNOY EVERYBODY. So I left in search of free wifi and quiet. I mean, even McDonalds has wifi in Austin.

I am now at the Gingerman, a favorite department hangout. The wifi connection that appears in my window is titled, "Ciagars, Hookers, and Mo'" . . . at first I thought it said "Hookas," but no, it's "Hookers." I laughed. They have a gazillion beers on tap here and a groovy beer garden. I got a primo parking spot. I'm sipping some super-yummy Dogfish 60 and reviewing an essay (I'm going to recommend revise and resubmit . . . I rarely reject unless it has absolutely no hope). Oh, and taking a break to blog. In an hour department friends will arrive. Life in Austin is good.
