Yogurt, I love you.

Last weekend, Hamidah was in town from Arlington and she and I went to Yogurt Planet at The Triangle on Lamar. This place is like a fake Pinkberry, but with more flavors. I'm sad Yogoberry closed down by Freebirds, but this one is definitely better.

Natural Yogurt Flavor with Captain Crunch, Raspberries,
Blackberries, and Oreo Crumbles. MMMM!!!!!


Hamidah with her Strawberry Yogurt and fruit

Danielle and I tried The Yogurt Spot underneath The Venue by UT. It was pretty good too. I stuck to my normal flavors and toppings, but they did not have Captain Crunch which is silly! But their Kiwi yogurt is really good and Dani's Cheesecake one was pretty amazing too.

I can not wait for Swirll to open next to American Apparel. I am hoping that it's all the same thing.

What is with this crazy yogurt thing?

Also, Klever is playing at Beauty Bar tomorrow.


I saw his flyer outside some dance party in a church in Amsterdam. Small world?

I feel like a teenager.

Jerardo was in San Antonio for most of this past week, so I got to dress the mannequins at work for Halloween. After roaming around town with Karinne, we finally got the necessary props to complete the amazing final product.

GRYFFINDOR: (yes, her folder does say Muggle Studies)

SLYTHERIN:

In addition, the Thursday part of the 75th anniversary of the Texas Union was none other than ... Gavin Degraw! Ok, so maybe not my first choice in artists, but I was lucky enough to be able to work on this show and put it on for a couple thousand. It was pretty rewarding. I spent the two days before grocery shopping for him... yeah. And I also drove down to Jo's Coffee on 2nd with Lindsay to pick him up, but he had gone off wandering around town. But the worker there was sweet and gave me a free iced coffee. :)

---

So, my halloween costume is complete. I debuted it at Ally and Dara's pre-Halloween bash on Friday. I'll post pictures when I get some.

By the way, does anyone know of uncomfortable situations I could throw myself into? I need to write a paper about it, haha.

Girl Talk.

Just got back from the show not too long ago.
The crowd was so much bigger from the last time I saw him play at FFF Fest last year.
It was really painful in the beginning,
but the best part was the toilet paper fan
and getting hit in the head with a bag of ice.. water... slush.
My shirt was so heavy from sweat and water and i have no idea.
But that's what a dance party is.

Nothing can top Simian Mobile Disco though from this past SXSW.

I am still waiting for that dance party to come!

MSTRKRFT, Thursday?

Vice on Charlie Kaufman

OH I can't believe I forgot to mention.

Vice Magazine has a feature interview with my FAVORITEST screenwriter.
3 of his like 5 movies are top favorites of mine, so idk if that says something?

You can read it here!

Not to mention, there's a ton of more stuff in there.
And by stuff I mean graphic sex stories.
And by mean graphic, I mean extremely descriptive.
And with graphics.

Plus, there's always some good fashion.
And funny captions.

You can get one free from me at work... at American Apparel.

Paper sharks.

I'm part of an event celebrating the Texas Union's 75th anniversary next week.
Me and my friends are in charge of the Gavin Degraw show, put on by the
Music & Entertainment Committee and the Texas Union.

The Union wanted to appeal to a different/wider range of students than the indie bands
and rappers we usually bring, so there you have it. Gavin Degraw, my friends.
One Tree Hill, I know you watch like 15 minutes of it after GG is over.
Which, by the way, this week was crazy?

Anyhow, please come and support us on the Main Mall on Thursday. :)
It would make my life.

Also, support the other events happening.
Monday: Margaret Cho
Tuesday: Maya Angelou
Wednesday: Diva Diction
Friday: Casino Night

All tickets are given out at the SEC office on the 4th floor of the Union.
Only 1 ticket per UT ID.

The Gavin show is free and will be on the Main Mall.
Think 40 Acres Fest.

Me, Jennifer, Chris, and Kathryn were supposed to enjoy a nice Restaurant Week meal
at The Woodland on Monday. But we go, and it's CLOSED. They're apparently closed on
Mondays and forgot to tell us... when we made the reservation? How fucked up is that.
Not to mention, their menu looked beyond amazing. beyond. amazing.

Someone please take me there so I can not be mad at them anymore.

---

Anyway, here's a photo from Karinne's film project... HAHA.
Eat your hearts out:



LOL.

---

And, last lol of the night. I just got an e-mail from e-music... some music download company?
And the subject of the e-mail was: Recession Special! Get 75 songs for free!!

HAHA.

Love it.

On Being Pro-Lobster Life...

Today while at work, I saw this headline:
"Man accused of tucking 6 lobsters in his pants"


You can read about it here.

That, my friends, is one of the reasons why you should be like me...
pro-lobster life! Haha!


Marc, my pet lobster... well, crawfish.

Hehe.
