In Austin now

1:02pm CDT Friday 3 August 2007 (day 13646)

Special thanks to Ma for driving to Austin! We happened by UnCommon Objects, so I took a picture of Francois on/near janette's stuff.

Colleenie Beanie is on her way here now to hang out and then drive us to janette's house where I hope to surprise her (janette), and then to Mandola's to meet Dude & Dr Cutie, and, complete Operation F.R.E.D. by surprising Fred.

On the way here, we stopped in Buc-ee's (sp) to get some beverages, and I saw some cool cutting boards and some serving thingies that Suzanne might have liked, if I had bought one and not just taken a picture.

Wow. I've sorta been thinking the same thing.

Operation F.R.E.D. complete!!

8:46pm CDT Friday 3 August 2007 (day 13646)

Colleen came up with a great acronym for F.R.E.D.: Fine Real Estate Developments.

Supa thanks to Colleen for driving us around!

We went to Mandola's and Fred and Bill were there waiting; Veronica wasn't there for the actual arrival, having been required in the bathroom with her kids, but we explained that Fred was like,

"what?" with a big smile, and "what are you doin' here?"

"I'm meetin' you for dinner!"

Hugged and greetz all around with Colleen and Ami having never met Fred (oops; Colleen had), Bill, Dude, Dr Cutie.

The place was pretty packed, but we chowed plenty, including salad and ice cream, and it was just like old times, all comfortable and fun.

Funny: Fred got up to offer Ami a drink, so I tried to get them to get me some, but they were both like, "pshhh [as if]"

After dinner, I showed Veronica my toe, which she declared to be just an ingrown toenail. Slop some Neosporin on it and stop picking at it.

On the way to the parking lot, Dude found a rectangular column that might as well have been a ladder, which we both climbed high enough to make a fall rather dangerous. Francois wasn't scared, though.

Now chillin' at Fred's with my computer playing music (stored on Amazon S3) through his wireless something-something thing to his stereo. Ami is zonked, and Colleen is reading over my left wrist.

.... next we need to finish Operation j.a.n.e.t.t.e.

At Fred's suggestion / taking over the audio-visual, we watched about half of two episodes of SPYS. I didn't really like it, but I guess it was sorta interesting. Hard to know what was fake and what was real, especially given that there were camera people running around... how did they not alert the whole community as to what was up??
