Craving of the Day

Lunchbox Laboratory
Which apparently is NO LONGER IN BALLARD! Bad move...

Podcast

Some of my friends/classmates put together the first ISchool podcast and I got to be interviewed! Listen to me pretend to know what I'm talking about!

More Stuff

A video my co-workers made on bad teaching.

A cute article on Bill Cunningham (who does the On The Street videos for the NYTimes) that makes me wish he was my uncle or something.

Vids

Cute video for the Austin Public Library. My reference instructor is the winky girl. I have to say, it's better than the UW's Lady Gaga video. I won't even link that one to save you the embarrassment of watching.

Also, I did an XtraNormal video and accompanying tutorial for work. Just wanted to show off!

Spring Break! Woot!

Dad's fancy boots

While SXSW was fun, what was more fun was Mom and Dad visiting! Here are some pictures.

We made sure to get some hearty breakfast tacos in.

Of course, we had to visit San Antonio.

Dad made good use of my Art-Stream cup with a sno-cone.

We did the Riverwalk.

After all that touristy stuff, we had to get off the beaten path. We wandered around and wondered out loud where to go for happy hour and looked up to see a sign that said "Drink". That's easy. We went to Zinc for some food.

And there was more eating...this time at Magnolia Cafe.

We hit up some SXSW music.

And visited campus to see the tree sweaters.

I'm hoping to be unpacked at my new place soon. There was definitely no easing back into the semester after spring break.

Grad School and Zombies

Apparently grad school is no more difficult than surviving the zombie apocalypse.

There should be no problem, then.

That Time of the Month

...for me to post, of course!

I hope you have not been worried that since I hardly ever post that I don't have any fun. There's plenty of that to fit into my 27 hour days!

Let's talk work first.

I started teaching last week and I love it!! Most of my classes are from Freshmen courses, so the onus is definitely on me and my co-teacher to keep the class engaged. But 18 and 19 year olds are not as bad as you might think!

I did the media for this little post on the website. I love getting paid to make comics.

On to fun.

Perhaps it is debatable if visiting Waco is fun. But since I'm a nerd, I wanted to go see the Library of Congress' traveling exhibit. It was parked outside of the Waco Public Library, which was surprisingly nice. The genealogy center was filled with a bunch of big-haired Texas. I thought it would be inappropriate to take a picture.
We decided to look up the highest-rated restaurant in Waco and it was a cheap BBQ place that had a flier on the door that advertised "Concealed Weapon Classes Inside".

Basketball! Apparently UT has a pretty stellar basketball team. There was one point where they were a good 30 points ahead of Iowa. Apparently basketball at UT also involves a floating bottle of barbeque sauce:

This doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but it was fun watching Ghost fight with a gecko.

And I went to Fredericksburg again! It was Part One of Emily's 25th birthday and she wanted to go to the wineries for a little wine tasting.

Ok, a lot of wine tasting.

We were outside at one of the wineries' patio enjoying a bottle in the sun at one point when Mom texted me a photo of the icicles on her car. I was like, Oh yeah, it's winter.

Well, after a few months in my house, I'm moving again! I found a one-bedroom nearby. Usually by the time I get home, all I do is work, so it's about time I have my own place again. And unfortunately for Mom and Dad, what was supposed to be a pleasant vacation in Austin in two weeks now involves helping me move furniture and going to Target for home essentials. You two are the best!!
