In Austin sitting on your ass looking for a really long indoor soccer game (and some beers) to pass the time with? Come check out 24 hours of indoor, for Katrina relief. I can’t promise the most entertaining game ever (when I stopped by at 7pm the score was 105-114) but I can promise cheap pitchers of cheap beer and probably a lot of shit talking. I’m actually on my way out there right now to join in the soccer fun for a few hours.

So my neighbor won the “lawn of the month” award from the neighborhood association this month. For those of you keeping score, not the guy with the asian stripper but the old guy with too much phlegm. Now I have no intentions of ever winning the “lawn of the month” award. I would like to have a respectable looking lawn, but I’m not willing to put in Hank Hill hours to ensure its perfection. Either way though, I do feel a bit self-conscious about my lawn because it has dead patches all over. I don’t want to be Hank Hill, but I also don’t want to be the trashy neighbor from the ‘burbs either. So I decided to water my lawn for once. It’s really amazing how much grass will grow over a couple days if you just water you lawn once. Nature is cool. I’m a great homeowner, everyone wants to be my neighbor.
