Virgo's Rule

Ok, I'm working backwards now with my pictures....

The Virgo Trail was September 16. The Body and I were the hares.

These words were tacked to a bunch of trees. Not quite sure what they were trying to tell us....

We waited for what seemed like ages for this guy to swing from the tree. I was curious because it looked a little shallow and I wanted to see if he busted his head open. He finally swung out and did a back flip.

2nd Beer Check

At the last Beer Check

This stuff rocks!

After the On-In a group of us went to Ginny's for Chicken Shit Bingo and Dale Watson. Then a smaller group went to check out the new Rio Grande Pluckers on the grand opening night.

Bitch, James Bitch was bartending.

What a long day. I had to email Elvis the next day to find out what time I got back to my car. Guess I shouldn't have driven home!

You can see all the pics here.

Oh my God, Becky! Look who will be in Austin Friday night! Who wants to go see Ryan??

THE NINES with Ryan Reynolds and John August Live
Rated R; 99min; John August
7:00p (Fri), 10:00p (Fri)

Coming This Week to the Alamo South Lamar: THE NINES with RYAN REYNOLDS and JOHN AUGUST live!
We've been watching all sorts of out there movies all week long with FANTASTIC FEST raging strong, but everything I've seen for THE NINES so far has me convinced that I might be in for the biggest treat of the week this Friday, when we welcome RYAN REYNOLDS and writer/director JOHN AUGUST to the theater for a special pair of premiere screenings. The official trailer for the film makes it look like a thriller that I don't necessarily expect to understand.

But then there's lookforthenines.com, where August is running a "make your own trailer" competition and there are links to dozens of trailers on YouTube, and each one makes it look like an entirely different film. That's easy to do, of course, because the feature itself is comprised of three different shorts with the same actors playing different characters in different scenarios that seem to be only linked on a metaphysical plane, but still, what does that mean, really?

We can all find out together this Friday night, and then if we still have questions after the movie, we can ask Ryan and John in the Q&A. Something tells me that will be very helpful.

It's the Malt Liquor Hash, Bitches!

Someone was antsy to see the pics, so here they are....no write-up, just follow the photos.

Doing a Test...

Tried out a new protein bar this morning for breakfast. It has 20 grams of protein in it! I like it better than my usual Kashi Go Lean bars. Ate it at 8am while driving to work. Now I just want to see when I will be hungry for lunch. It's doing a good job at keeping me full right now, so that's a good sign. The wimpy Special K breakfast bars are too tiny and I'm hungry one hour later. Although, I just noticed they now have Special K protein bars. I was buying the ceral bars.

So far, this Clif Builder's bar rocks!

Part 2: Well, the protein and the fiber portions both worked well. :)

This bar kept me full for 3 1/2 hours and I left for lunch at 11:30am (which is earlier than normal, but I beat the crowds). An hour after lunch and I'm tired and need a nap. I think the Quiet Room is calling my name!

Lame & Lazy Night

Damn. I was sooooo lame yesterday. I went to lunch earlier than usual yesterday (11:45am). So I got hungry around 3pm...had a granola bar as a snack. That filled me up for one and a half hours. My stomach was growling by 4:30pm and all I could think about was food. Drove to my dad's house because my step-mom and I had plans to workout. I wasn't feeling it at all. I was in a bad mood as well and have no idea why. Got to my dad's and just lounged on the couch. When Carol got home from work she said she had a headache and didn't know if she'd be able to do anything that night. I told her no prob because all I wanted was dinner!

Sooooo, we skipped working out and went to the Boat House Grill for dinner. It's a great little place on 620 by 2222. All 3 of us got cheeseburgers. Not exactly a healthy meal to substitute for not working out. BUT, I decided that I like their fries better than Hyde Park Grill! Damn, they rocked. The burger didn't top C&A or Dirty's, but it was still pretty good.

Then back to my Dad and Carol's house to work on pictures. Was too tired and lazy to even drive home, so I crashed over there and just got up early to drive home to get ready for work.
So tonight I MUST WORKOUT!!!

Hill Country's 200th Run

The 200th hash run up in Killeen on Saturday was fun. I ran the hash trail, then we had an interesting circle. Just Beth was named, but the hilarious part was interviewing her so we could get stories on her so we could think of a good name. She was pretty wasted, so she had a hard time understanding our questions. After almost every one she would say, "huh??" Soooo, that's what her name is! Next time she meets someone and they ask what her hash name is, she will have to reply, "huh?" That is, if she ever hashes again. But that's another story......

After circle it was time to chow down. They cooked up tons of food. Yum yum. Then it was time for the hash olympics. The best part was throwing mini Cheetos at Brownie's face, which was covered in shaving cream. Oh my, I couldn't stop laughing! Should have told him to turn his head a bit so I had more open space to try to hit. We only lost by 2 Cheesy Poofs. Damnit.

I didn't want to keep drinking at the pavilion in Copperas Cove because we still had to get to Penile Probe's house in Harker Heights, so Brownie, Wet Spot and I bolted. Stopped by a liquor store and a bank along the way...oh my, saw some military guy hanging outside of the bank...in white house slippers. Too bad I didn't get a pic of that.

Back at PP's house it was party on time. Check out the pictures for the rest of the story.
Thanks again to PP for letting everyone crash (and trash) his house! Good job to DBD for the cool gimmees. I meant to take a pic of them this morning, but forgot. Oh well. You can see the headband tie in one of the photos.

Cross Dressers....

The first hash olympics event at the Hill Country 200th was the Izzy Dizzy. You have to slam a beer, run down to the opposite side and drink another beer, pick up the baseball bat (or in this case, small hockey stick), put the end of the stick on your forehead and spin around 10 times. Then try to run back to the start. But you had to first swap clothes with your partner...the one time I don't wear a running skirt! Dang it. Brownie would've had to wear a short skirt. He lucked out because I had on my long soccer shorts. The tank top is still funny though!

Where's PP?!

I'm skipping ahead because this cracked me up. Went to Killeen on Saturday for the Hill Country's 200th Run. Penile Probe's girlfriend went a little psycho that night and in the morning woke everyone up by repeatedly yelling, "Where's PP?!!" Duh, he was hiding from you, crazy woman. Someone suggested we do a "Where's PP" picture, kind of like Where's Waldo......

Ritas and Full Moons

Back on August 28, there was a Full Moon hash. But first, I attended a going away happy hour for one of my favorite lobbyists at my company. The darn TX Medical Association took her away from us. :(

Several departments at my work bolted at 3:30pm that day to head over to Vivo's. They are known for their margaritas....damn, they rock! After 2 I had to switch to a different drink. Tried their sangria drink....delicious. Then I had to switch to beer. After all of that and one nacho for dinner, I decided I was gonna locate the Full Moon hashers because I wanted to continue partying. Plus, the folks from overseas were in town for their InterAm pre-lube. I tracked them down at the Draught House beer check and had a blast. That is, until my drunkard self tried to go in the door that you can only go out of...I mean, there was a chain there so you could pull the door. I ripped open 2 of my fingers when I yanked it really hard. Niiice. Idiot.

Anyways, once we left there, trail went back to the Pleasure Palace (AKA. TAF and SMB's house). We drank more, held circle, and then drank and drank and drank. Oh yeah...this was a weekday. I crashed on their couch and had to leave by 6:30am in order to get home, shower and get to work on time. How is it that I can get up early on a day like this, but can't get up that early when I'm in my own bed and try to workout in the morning??

You can see the pics here. Didn't take too many though. Oh well.

Book 'Em Horns!

Finally...it's not an Aggie joke getting passed around the internet!

In celebration of the SIXTH longhorn football player arrest since June, the team recognized the need to change the logo.



1. What do you call a drug ring in Austin? A huddle

2. Four UT Longhorns riding in a car, who is driving? The Police

3. The UT Longhorns have adopted a new "Honor System". Yes Your Honor, No Your Honor.

4. The UT Longhorns knew they had to do something for their defense, so they hired a new defensive coordinator: F. Lee Bailey

5. How do the UT Longhorns spend their first week at fall practice? Studying their Miranda Rights

6. What do you say to a Longhorn in a suit? Will the defendant please rise?

7. If you see a Longhorn football player on a bike, why don't you swerve to hit him? It might be your bike!

8. The Longhorns employ scouts. But to look out for cops, not to scout high school kids.

9. I heard a rumor that the Texas Department of Corrections plans to build a new prison in Austin, to allow Longhorns to walk to school.

10. What do you call it when a Longhorn goes on vacation? Time off for good behavior.

11. Why couldn't the Longhorns get into a huddle on the football field? It's a parole violation to associate with known felons.

12. Obviously Coach Mack Brown is not paying his players if they have to resort to robbing people.

Hills & 'Canes

On Wednesday, Team O met and went walking/jogging for 56 minutes. We started at the bottom of Jester Hill, walked up it (1/2 mile), had a little trouble with my new Ipod Shuffle. Thought I didn't charge it enough but Carol fixed it and we were off again. Jogged 1/2 a mile away from the hill and then walked back to the top of Jester Hill and jogged down it. Repeat. Going up the second time was tough. I was suckin' wind. But I actually felt great afterwards and had lots of energy.

Last night I went to my friend's softball game....Betty Ford Clinic is their name. Then we raced over to Kurt and April's new house to watch the Aggie game they had recorded. Wow. Have our guys ever touched a football in their entire life? It didn't seem like it. At least the Freshman quarterback showed some promise. Can't wait to see him play again. The Hurricanes royally kicked our ass.

We also had an interesting night waiting for our freakin pizza to arrive. They said 45 minutes to 1 hour. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, we decided to call Pizza Hut to find out what was up. "It's on the way." Then 20 minutes later, "It's on the way." Yeah right. That's what they said the first time. The last time Kurt called, the manager hung up on him! Hellooooo. He is sooooo going there today to give them hell. By the time the pizza finally arrived, he had already grilled up some burgers so we said no thanks. Seriously. How does it take TWO HOURS to deliver 2 pizzas??!! What kind of idiots work at that place. Morons.

Gig 'Em Aggies!!!

My Aggies play Miami tonight at 6:45pm at the Orange Bowl.

BEAT THE HELL OUTTA MIAMI. Aayy. Whoop!

How Many Posts Am I Behind??

I know I haven't posted many pics in a while. It's been a busy month! Think I left off with the Turkey Creek Shelter Hash. The Junta stepped up to lay this trail. I was one of the foodies. We had chicken and beef fajitas. Yum yum. Elvis decided to add a little crunch to his....

This was also my first time to meet Higgins, Dr. PP, Weeny Schnitzel and Maximus, who were all in town before InterAm in Puerto Vallarta. Fun times.

Twinkies


Think the boys are trying to display the number 12, as in October 12. This is the day they announced when the 3rd Annual BRC would be.


You can see all the pics here.

P.S. If the wifi at Schlotzsky's hadn't been so fussy, I'd have gotten more freakin posts finished. ARRRGH! OH yeah, it's also National Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Less Sugar = No Bueno!

Sometimes I like to eat instant oatmeal for breakfast. It's easy to make at work and keeps me from picking up super bad foods on the drive in. Well, I decided to try Quaker's 50% less sugar instant oatmeal. It's not too tasty. Gonna take some time to get used to it. Bleh. Or maybe I'll just leave it in the breakroom for others to try.

So beware oatmeal eaters! Stick with the original.

On another note, Team O was back in the swing of things last night. Carol (my step-mom) and I walked the hills in her neighborhood. Did 3 miles up Lakewood. Then she had Taco Soup ready for dinner. I LOVE that stuff!

Tonight we are gonna go up and down and up and down Jester Hill...as many times as we can. It has a 21% grade over half a mile. I know that's nothing compared to the Incline in Colorado, but at least I'm doing some elevation!

BRC 2007!

The 3rd Annual Burnet Road Challenge is here!

Mark your calendars for Friday, October 12.
Start location: C. Hunt's
Time: 6pm (Start running at 7pm)

Happy Early Birthday To Me!

Old phone, new phone!

FINALLY!

My Aggies finally won in the 3rd OT today. I almost had a heart attack watching. And why couldn't we just go for the 2-point conversion during the SECOND overtime?? They didn't seem to have a problem with it in the 3rd. Oh well. At least it's in the win column!
