Oh, what a week. I have spent all week on farm duty. Well, chicken, duck, ferret, fish duty. Don't giggle at that even though you can. If I spelled it a different way, it would have been really funny!
That was a lot of fun. Except, man, it was a lot of work out there in this death fire hot mess of a weather situation we have ourselves in. Nope, no global warming going on. A huge snow storm in March and a giant 4 month long drought to follow with temperatures daily of 107 degrees. Nope, weather isn't changing for the worst.
Anyway, it was fun. Lots of sweating, I must say. And who knew I could wrangle a chicken like I can. They think they are quick. But not for this fat yet spry old Austinite! It was pretty fun. Even when that roach crawled up my leg when I picked up the water feeder thing. Even though I screamed a bit, it made me feel more like a man! And that is just what ever woman needs to feel like...a man.
I went to a couple of Jody shows. One at Uncle Billy's Brew and Que. So not my type of place. It was like a mall of restaurants. It was a huge monstrosity that can't possibly make the people who pay millions for their lake homes happy. Good band, of course. But, just not my cup of tea or brew. And, it was all outside. Now, I am not sure about any of you, but sitting outside in 106 (which it was that day) heat just ain't for me (or any of the fatties on the Earth). But, I got a good view of a hot drummer in front of pretty empty Lake Travis. So, there was that!
Then we went on to show number 2 of the night at Poodie's Hilltop Bar and Grill. Different band, this time. But, still the same drummer - mine! Anyway, I love me some Poodie's. It is the most comfortable, redneck, small, dark, awesome bar of all times. Well, maybe not of all times. But, it's pretty cool.
Also playing was James Hand. He's awesome. He's like a movie character, but I can't think of the movie. He's kinda like a drunk, funny Don Knotts but not as dingy and far more depressed. Pretty awesome in my book. I think I shall try to make it back out to see him. Though, Poodie's is way the fuck out there. Man, it was far! But, I'd go back anytime!
All in all, that and work have kept me busy. Oh, and Project Runway. My reason for living is finally back on! Hurray! This season is going to be awesome!
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Lucy. I love you. So do many. Thanks for being the funny lady that probably inspired a lot of my personality. I appreciate it!
Later
