So this one time, I had my own hamburglar adventure. I was working for a small software company that got bought by a Big Company at the same time another small Canadian software was also acquired by this Big Company. Big company makes all of these changes to our respective companies to make our originally awesome…

Yessss! Me & my gals pre-ordered 9 tix as well! For the Alamo Drafthouse where you can also drink wine while you watch! Some of my friends never read the book, some read it and loved it (gag), and the rest of us who read it but thought it was terrible are going to hate-watch it. Should be an epic GNO!

They need one of these ships to dock on the shores of one of the most restrictive countries... Texas.

The girls from Girls always look crazy to me on the carpet, but I'm not noticing this one's dress because I'm too distracted by her roots.... Is her hair on purpose?

As part of his book tour, he's going to be at an independent bookstore called BookPeople in Austin on Feb 5th. I was going to go gawk at his appearance, but it's at 11:00 AM on a Thursday, and I have a job.

This is messed up. This is soooo messed up. The instagramming of real life is not a good trend. You want to be able to look back at your school pictures and either remember fondly or laugh about what you looked like when you were young. Isn't that the point of school pictures?

Ahhh yes, the drunk fest at the hotel bar after a craptastic day of company meetings... I know it well. I can just imagine how that night went. Being a small lady working with all guys, in these situations, I'll drink 2 vodka sodas and then let the bartender know to only serve me soda with lime from that point on…

VY doesn't seem to be doing too bad… I saw him not long ago when I was having dinner in Austin at a place called Truluck's downtown (fancy-ish steak and seafood mini-chain with locations in TX, FL, and CA). Even nice restaurants in Austin tend to be pretty casual because we're a casual town, but this place has a…

This story does not have nearly enough stars. It combines my hate for mayo with my hate for catered business meetings with my love for super awkward moments in those terrible meetings.

This makes me so happy that she's a horrible person. I've disliked her since seeing her in "Save the Last Dance" because her ballet technique was soooo terrible and it was soooo obvious when it was the dancing double and when it was her. I love terrible cheesy dance flicks, and she ruined this one for me. I tried…

I did an experiment on New Year's Day with tipping… I never seem to have cash on me, and I hate that when you order food to be delivered and pay with a credit card that you have to tip in advance because how do you know if you're going to get good service? I wanted to find out if you actually would get better…

Well... Their own website claims that they are up to 15% cheaper than a taxi - http://blog.uber.com/atxfree

Thanks for your thoughtful response and real answer! I think maybe they're still trying to figure out how to make it work in Austin... We have lots of events (like UT football games or concerts) that could cause a demand outside of normal expected times (like Sat night when the bars are closing), so maybe I've just…

I understand uber's argument that in high demand periods, you have to pay more in order to get prompt service. But why should a 10 minute car ride ever cost over $100? I thought they were generally supposed to be a cheaper option to traditional cab companies? Anytime I've tried to use them in Austin, they've always…

OMG that website is disturbing! I can't stop hate-reading it. I'm afraid there's not enough therapy in the world to help that man or his commenters.

I live in Austin and am sad this guy has found so much success here. He bought an abandoned town nearish in the hill country called Bankersmith, Texas and renamed it Bikinis, Texas. At the grand opening, he had Carmen Electra as the special guest, and she had a mold of her breasts inducted into the Bikinis Bust Hall…

Brilliant! Brought a smile to my face when the credits showed it was choreographed by Nappy Tabs. #sytycd

Santa brought me a cabbage patch doll with a wardrobe of handmade clothes. In the spring I was looking for something in my Mom's sewing room, and found spools of material that matched the clothes and I'm like hey... Wait a minute!

Welp, I followed your recipe as close as I could, including the instructions on drinking the wine... It's not as pretty as yours but it was fucking delicious.

I'm about to start making this right now for Christmas Eve dinner. The rest of the family is out skiing, so I will guilt trip them when they return because they are out having fun while I'm toiling away in the kitchen.
