  1. At least twice a week here. Vaquero Taquero (best tacos in campus area) Shoal Creek Saloon CFS slammed. Via 313 and a Big Ass Cuban Sandwich from Habana on SoCo
  2. Finished last night. Fun, stupid ride. Everything surrounding Ben was stupid and pointless and regarded. Ruth falling in love with him and turning into his ride or die after 2 fuck sessions is regarded. Wyatt sleeping with the ugliest 70 year old in Missouri is regarded. Linney's face is regarded. I'll be watching Season 4.

    High

    I brought back Blue Dream from Seattle. Still workin on it. Hawai'in diesel was definitely more my speed.
  4. They're not, they just knew they probably should be to see this movie.
  5. Air raid or it's your ass... I was able to catch one of the last Drafthouse screenings a few weeks ago before they closed up, Dazed & Confused at The Ritz location. Got about 5 of my friends high as shit before it, and a couple of them had never seen it. Everyone loved it. I felt one duty as a Houstonian turned Austinite was done. Still stacking up Austin points. Oh, and Pickford was indeed cool as shit, but I ain't taking anything away from MM, he played his part.
  6. I don't care about his comments, but it's probably because he's aligned with my thoughts. He's smart as shit and gets asked questions because he replies thoughtfully and interestingly. I guess we'll only see whether his outspokenness costs the brand money when the losing stops. I'm sure if he had another big 3 to carry to the playoffs those lost season tickets would be gobbled up in a heartbeat (if in fact they weren't). In fact, I'd be willing to call their bluff on whether they would've cancelled their tickets in the first place if we still had a Big 3 or Kawhi. In other words, if we had expectations. I enjoyed watching DW and Keldon last night. Both played spirited, and are fun to watch to Defense. They hustle around screens and always keep them legs moving. It's embarrassing that they have to play on the same defense as Bryn Forbes (and others).
  7. We'll know within the first if he will survive. He's trying his best to weasel out of it. Good riddance.
  8. Wonder if the Rodeo people will "retaliate" against their local officials for dealing with this very serious issue..... Anyways, I'll likely be at Hotel Vegas this weekend, maybe thinking about checking out some other shows at Far Out Lounge (never been). I like that the week is shaping up to be local as hell.
  9. I find it hilarious honestly. That the media is trying to paint SAS as a playoff contender. The headline on ESPN before last night's game was that we were gearing up to make a playoff push against the solid Pacers......... hello.... there are no more gears. We're 3-7 in our last 10 and looking no better than we did 3 months ago. The players have been saying that shit too. It's a joke.
  10. Maybe see some Tall Luka today? Would be a welcome sight. And of course the send Keldon back down and he drops 31 the next day. I'm just speaking on highlights, but is there some Manu to his game? He pulls the trigger on open 3s, but if contested, he refuses to be kept out of the paint. Fearless on the drives.
  11. I tell you what, Liz gave me something to think about last night. Early last year I was about 70/30 Liz/Bernie. After Liz went on the attack against Bernie (which came off insincere and unnecessary to do in public), I swung over to about 70/30 Bernie/Liz. After last night I think I'm leaning 55/45 Bernie. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she hired some DNC/Hillary dopes that shifted her campaign to the wrong track. Her takedown of Bloomberg was a sight to behold, and reminded me how great a public speaker she is. However, the one statement last night that gives me pause is that she called herself a staunch capitalist. With all the progressive ideals she espouses and all her "plans" she's put forth, if she truly believes she can be a true capitalist and a true progressive/liberal at the same time, I think that's a problem for me. I don't believe that capitalism and the type of social welfare programming she wants to do can co-exist, and the fact that she even calls herself that, tells me there's at least a chance that she'll get into office and take those meetings and those "compromises" with corporate America, who will only have one goal, dilute the plans that she's been running on all along. She was a republican before '95, and apparently switched over when she realized that republicans didn't represent working families, but her capitalism statement tells me she still has some of that confusion in her, like she still doesn't see the big picture.
  12. After watching this and Mr. Robot's series finales this weekend, the Leftovers effect is absolutely real. Both had purgatory-style "trips" into their subconscious as one of the last episodes. Literally every character has enough depth to where you can sit and analyze their situations and why they are the way they are. Peanut butter, Princess, Diane, everybody had something going on that they had to figure out... It's hard enough to keep up with all the gags going on in the background.... this is definitely a multi-watch show.
  13. Finished this weekend. I'm ok with the ending. Satisfactory. I put this show about on par with Sons of Anarchy... shows I've watched fully through that aren't "elite" television, but cool stories/series anyhow. B+. So the big reveal at the end doesn't really negate anything that happened right? Just that Elliott is only part of Elliott but like Bourbon and Whiskey not every whiskey is bourbon but every bourbon is whiskey. Or whatever the fuck. And obviously the "Leftovers"-style mind trip episodes were just him in a coma.
  14. Butterfinger is my all-season. Anything cheesecake usually gets a try from me too though. Those little cheesecake balls they put in are crack pellets.
  15. That sounds dope as shit. I'd love to do a run on that strip.
  16. I don't mind him too much. I've seen enough games where he looks completely competent towards his role, in spurts. Hits a spot-up 3. Can handle the ball around PnRs a bit, takes some mid-ranges confidently. I don't think he's above replacement level, and he probably won't be here for long, but on a different Spurs team he could've been a lot more valuable.
  17. Shit, I rarely have those "damn this makes me feel old moments", but this one just hit me. When I watched this I thought these kids were in their late 20s, grown (I guess I was a young teenager). Now they all look like college students basically. Also, how did that dork wind up with the blonde? And yellow shirt is a lot hotter than I remember. And shit they picked the most east texas looking redhead they could find. F-150 and dip looking mfer. When Matt McC gave his little speech about Austin being the place where hippies, cowboys, hipsters, etc. could all share a bar, I agreed about that being my ideal Austin too. But that place is going, going.... I get the points that are being made about cities all growing and adapting or whatever. But that's not the same conversation as a city losing its soul. What makes it laid-back is the values and attitudes. When the developers brought money into the equation, the attitudes and values shifted towards just that. Thus we get the Domain. And the Domain 2.0 on Riverside. And the inclusion and laissez-faire attitudes about sharing a bar with everyone goes out the window. Y'alls SXSW examples seem like a good example of the beginning to me. The social media generations will speed it up. Laid-back and welcoming and laissez-faire doesn't look good on an IG post, a cute manufactured quote on a dirty wall with a $12 cocktail in hand does.
  18. I wish I'd eaten the famous Tortas de chilaquil while I was there. Street cart in the Condesa neighborhood. The locals that worked at the hostel I stayed at shamed me for not going. And I'd wish I had not eaten so many tacos that when I walked around the business districts in CDMX I would've been hungry enough for a quesadilla with the blue corn tortillas.
  19. I won't enter this thread and bitch about the new Austin, but I will compound on this point and say FUCK Punch Bowl Social being put right on Congress. Fucking glitzy, technocratic, young-money, focus-grouped, tourist-trap themed restaurant fuckshit.
  20. Just finished 2nd to last episode. Fuck man. This is a different trip than I expected for the last season, gonna be sad to see it end. The writing is great. This episode was incredible. And sad as shit. I'll have to bring myself to watch the last one.
  21. Hate this shit so much. Why does a takedown matter if you do no damage? This is a fight. If you take somebody down in a fight and they get up immediately, you're still in the fuckin same fight. Now if I land somebelbows, or if I slam the fuck out of somebody and hurt them, that's different. But a takedown with nothing after is pointless.
  22. There's a little parking lot that used to house parked food trucks at the corner of 13th and Comal, down the street from where I live. Been there for a few years, but at some point last year the random trucks were no longer just parked, they were functioning and had a fold-out sign in the entrance that just says "Food Pickups -->". No actual walk-up service. There's only 2 trucks there right now, but I thought that was really interesting. You can see the cooks on smoke breaks every once in a while. If I worked there I feel like I'd get restless without human interaction (or you gotta have a really good relationship with the other one employee).
  23. Granted, Marcus Morris fucked us almost half as hard as Kawhi did. LMA is a bit worse this year than I thought he'd be. The strong games where he goes for 25/12 are really rare now. DeMar doesn't seem to have lost too much to me, he just is who he is. Completely sucks that they did nothing this trade deadline. 1. I know we're not big on trades, but this team is going nowhere fast, and still has 6 RRT games to slog through. 2. Then again, who the fuck in their right mind would want Marco, or Rudy, or Forbes? The only thing to look forward to this season is Lonnie playing more regularly, and mayyyyyybe we get a glance of one of the other young guys. Luka is tearing it up right now.
  24. DDR doing DDR things. Empty calories and disappears when it counts. Patty hit 2 big 3s in the 4th (missed one for the win, but fuck how much should we have to rely on our 6'2" 6th man point guard to win the game for us?), LaMarcus hit some big shots in the middle of the 4th..... DDR? Elbowed Paul George in the face and had like 7 points in the 2nd half. That's supposed to be our all-star.
