Bitchin' About: Stop Lights

I don't particularly like driving. I like the idea of driving. I like being able to get from one place to another but the actual driving part I can do without.

Lemony Goodness


Just the fruits of my domestic labor. 

Made some lemon bars for the first time ever, per a request.

I guess the time has come for me to delve a bit into my personal life.

2012: The Year in Movies and TV


Every year I keep notes on what movies and TV shows I have watched and then compile them into one long list at the end of the year. 

Here is my 2012 list.

2013: Checklist

Everyone likes to make New Year's resolutions. I do. Every year. Get organized, get fit, stop being mental. None of them ever get done. So instead I'm going to make a list of things I want to do this year.
In no particular order.

Things I Hope to Do in 2013



  • Finish my sleeve. 
  • Take a road trip.
  • Cook dinner for friends.
  • Karaoke bar.
  • Wink at a stranger.
  • Waste a night playing pool.
  • Go kayaking.
  • Weld something.
  • Finish paying off my student loans.
  • Go somewhere new.

2012: In Hindsight

Things I Did in 2012


  • Saw Les Miserables on stage at the Majestic. And it was indescribably amazing. 
  • Got my first professional massage. Only slightly awkward.
  • Took a belly-dancing class. 
  • Went to four BJ's Brewhouse Beer Dinners. Lots and lots of tasty food and beer. 
  • Went rock climbing and realized a false sense of security does wonders. 
  • Went to, and got drunk at, SXSW.
  • Seriously got into video games.
  • Got my first credit card. 
  • Went to three different breweries: Shiner, Abita, and Ranger Creek.
Stay alive no matter what occurs! 
  • Saw The Last of the Mohicans on the big screen. Which I advise everyone to do, if possible. It just doesn't compare to seeing it on TV. 
  • Been at my job for one year, a personal record. 
  • Went to Dallas, as per tradition.
  • Broke up twice.
  • Visited New Orleans for the first time.

  • Went to my first legit New Years Eve party.
  • More or less finally learned how to listen to myself.
