the week that was… the last week of May

Posted by september29th on May 30 2008 | Life

So… a lot has happened since my flat tire.  I really don’t know where to begin actually.   In short :  I’ve been to a baptism, I got around to seeing Texas’s version of Stonehenge and I almost got hit by an un-manned vehicle while walking Elliot the other day.

Oh!  I’ve also begun house hunting around the city of San Antonio.

June is just around the corner and I’m looking hella forward to it.  It’s been a long month.  A very long, long month.

Flat Tire

Posted by september29th on May 21 2008 | Life, Scooting

Had a little scare on my way to work this morning…  while making one of my final turns into work this morning – I felt the back tire on my Scoot go out underneath me.

I managed to safely get the scooter (and myself) off the road before it got wobbly and before getting rear-ended by the car turning behind me.

Modern Vespas aren’t equipped with spares so I had to make quick arrangements to have the scooter and myself picked up.   I think the tire cracked on the sidewall but didn’t have time to confirm it before taking it in…  the tire lost all the air in it within seconds of dismounting the bike so i’m thinking the hole/crack was pretty big.

Elliot turns 2

Posted by september29th on May 16 2008 | Elliot

Occurred to me this morning that my little Elliot turns 2 – today. Don’t really know how I’ll reward him just yet. As luck would have it, I’m breaking for the River Rally this afternoon so I’m already feeling bad about skipping out on him.

This will all however be remeided with one of his favorite Dingo bones.

Ekobase is back

Posted by september29th on May 11 2008 | Podcasts

So….  I have no idea what episode of Ekobase we’re up to, but the latest episode is now up.   We’ve had a string of decent shows in recent weeks.  This last show however was hampered by me having a terrible head-cold.

Overtime Theater

Posted by september29th on May 11 2008 | Life, San Antonio

Attended a Improv performance last night at the Overtime Theater (1216 West Ave).   I was a little unsure if I was going to dig it or not after reading a write up for it in the local weekly.

Happy to report that I left the theater feeling like I had seen something unique enough to wanna go back again.

The next time I go however I’m going to make sure that I get a gaggle of friends together so that we can turn that motherfucker out.

Thoughts from the Outbox

Posted by admin on May 07 2008 | Scattershot

The blog (subject) entry may seem a little strange… but I needed
to come up with something to test out the email/blog post
functionality of WordPress.

If all goes well, this post should populate onto the website with
little issue and post with the category of “scattershot”. I
occasionally get a few moments in the work day to sorta sit down and
pen down some thoughts about something I’ve run across, so I figured
what the hell – do it up properly.

In other news : I’m quite happy to see that I’ve got my Twitter
account set up onto my blog. I’ve had a Twitter account since its
inception, but I didn’t really have time to incorporate it into my
blog like I would have liked.

That’s changed tho’.

Anyhoo… more enough for now.
