Denial Is Not A River In Egypt

The Road Most Traveled

Band Wagon Jumper

It's time for me to eat my words. To do some fessin' up. Let me explain-- some of you may have, at times, had to suffer through my bitching about how overrated the iphone is, how I'd like to be the one person left WITHOUT one. Well, I cannot tell a lie, I was being a hater. I have always thought the phone was bad-ass, but since I had T-mobile and it was unavailable to me I was all sour grapes. I pretended like it didn't even matter to me that I couldn't get the phone because it was retarded anyway. I was posturing. I didn't mean it, OKAY?!

But today is a new day, my friends. The tide has turned and to make a long story short I will soon be the proud owner of the iphone 3GS, in white no less. Forgive me for bragging, but you should all know that very soon (seven to fourteen business days when it arrives in the mail) I will be cooler than ALL OF YOU. And haters, don't even bother. Once I was you, so I know you're full of shit.

Adieu, Austin! Howdy, San Antonio!

Well I've been in this hot mess of a town for just over a month now--well, not technically if you consider the 12 days I was in Dallas housesitting, but close enough-- and so far it's only sorta lame, not TOTALLY lame like I thought it'd be. As these hideous boots pictured above attest, the city isn't too concerned with modernity, or ditching the stereotype that all Texans are cowboy boot wearin', truck drivin', gun-totin hicks. I mean, those boots sit just outside of a mall. A MALL. Ugh.

Still, though, there are positives. Since most people this close to Austin would prefer to live there, the traffic is minimal. I have found the people here to be friendly, for the most part. Let's see, what else is nice about this town? There's got to be something. Well, I keep thinking about it.

One thing I don't understand about this town is howfucking hot it seems compared to Austin, which is only 86 miles North of here. It seems like it's constantly about to rain here, so there's always a shitload of water in the air bringing the heat index up to something like 126 degrees.

I should be more positive about it, I know. My friend here finds it "refreshingly hipster free," which is a plus. And I'm excited to go back to school (late August) and if I can get the maximum $$ in student loans I may not even have to work, so that's fucking rad.

As for you, Austin, my Sweet--



It's goodbye for now, but not forever (sniff, sniff).
