Nguyen was my big hurdle. I had only ever seen it written. As soon as I heard it pronounced I committed it to memory.

I read the headline and KNEW IT WAS YOU, MARK!

What does he do when he hardens on the paint?

understandable!!

I'm almost sure I've had a mimosa before 12 at restaurants on a Sunday, but maybe they're an exception since they're not hard liquor?

I would rather they ask a stranger to take a picture of them.

Rebecca, I attempted to get vodka on my first Thanksgiving spent in Texas, and to my dismay, TABC law prohibits the sale of liquor on Thanksgiving. I am not thankful for the TABC. I am thankful for my secret stash of vodka, and drug stores selling wine and beer.

I'm sorry, I was speaking from my own experience through family friends who were thinking of joining the police force and then didn't due to low salaries. However, your information is probably more up to date and relevant to the municipality where this happened as you've obviously done research.

Because police officers aren't paid enough, and so it's all the assholes that just want to have power over the defenseless that apply for the jobs. Mostly. There are some good ones.

I'm beyond bummed (pun not intended) that Charlie Hunnam won't be in 50 Shades because that was the only reason I was going to watch that movie for.

I'm also thankful for my asshole.

I went on a date with someone that pronounced it "Hell-Penis". It's an apt description for chili peppers though and now I can't think of it any other way, even being a native Spanish speaker.

This is gorgeous. I want it.

I don't know how to PM :(

I'm cool with most brunch places having babies, because, honestly, it lets the parents get out of the house and have some fun.

I've heard nothing but good stuff apart from weather and traffic, so yeah, I'm excited!

I lived a significant portion of my life in San Antonio... My main beef is with the super thick flour tortillas, which Ive had a lt of native San Antonians call "San Antonio style". Tortillas should be thin!!

I was reading an article on which states retain the largest percentage of their population and Texas was #1. A lot of it might just be because people in rural communities stay there, but I think a large part of it has to do with not wanting to move away from where there is brisket.

Currently in Austin but moving to Houston soon because of jobs. Dreading the swampiness and spending all of my time left in Austin enjoying the beautiful weather.

San Antonio drowns everything in processed cheese and is a little bit too Tex on the TexMex. Give me Austin food or give me death.
