Last night, I went out to Ozona’s Bar & Grill on Greenville with Daniel and his friends to see an improv comedy troupe called Section 8 Comedy. They were fantastic! Currently, they play at Ozona’s on Tuesdays and have occasional appearances at a place in the West End. I highly recommend checking them out sometime! …
hard to believe …
It’s shocking. I, Liz Norell, the anti-morning person, got up at 6 a.m. today. {yawn} I’m supposed to be in Fort Worth at 8:00. Eeks! But hey! At least I get to spend a half-day out of the office learning cool stuff, right? In other “hard to believe” news, though it didn’t work out, my …
firsts
The concept of “firsts” became something of a running joke/topic of conversation over the weekend. At various points in my life, it has been suggested — usually in jest, though not always — that I have lived something of a sheltered existence these last 27 years or so. Perhaps so. I’ve never believed that was …
Horrors? nah
I didn’t finish “Wicked,” but we had a fantastic book club meeting in spite of it. I didn’t like the fact that the musical “Little Shop of Horrors” had such a … ummm, well, horrific (hehe) ending, but it was FANTASTIC. I know, I know, I *always* say that about musicals / comedians / movies …
A single man’s guide to phone etiquette
Something today inspired me to go hunting for a little thing Jen and I wrote as college freshman extremely frustrated with the men we talked to on the phone. (Aside: These lost Web treasures are exactly why I keep meaning to redesign/reorganize my personal Web site.) Anyway, please note this has been untouched/unedited since it …
some family pictures …
Did I ever mention how good at procrastination I am? I bring it up because I just put together a collection of pictures of my family — parents, brother, etc. On the third page, you can also see three of my favorite baby pictures!! 🙂
reading fast & furious
Tomorrow’s my (yap) book club meeting, and so I’m furiously attempting to finish the second half of this month’s book, “Wicked.” How telling is it that, after finding out I stayed home tonight and was reading, John was able to surmise the book club *must* be meeting tomorrow? lol Anyway, I just read something in …
the new xbox is … a Mac?
Yup, that’s right. Daniel shared this shocking development with me last night: Microsoft is using Mac G5 chips in their new xbox, slated for release next year. My brother particularly liked the second comment on the above-linked news page (scroll, kids). {/geek moment}
TGIF!
I love Fridays! (And this, despite the fact that we don’t celebrate the national weekly holiday of Casual Day in my office.) Here’s a picture of my dog. Because cooing over Rags seems like the perfect way to start a Friday.
I’m bummed.
Poor David’s Pub, a longtime dive of a place to catch live music in Dallas and metroplex host to the Asylum Street Spankers, just moved, so I figured the Spankers would be up this way again before too long to christen the new place. Sure enough. The PDP Web site reveals their next local appearance …
