Watched TV on Friday night! Oh, the madness!
Saturday, went to the library to try and get a library card. Didn't have the right ID. Crazy! That night, audience participation Buffy the Vampire Slayer at River Oak Theater followed by House of Pies. That was really fun, actually.
And today, GROCERY SHOPPING!

Home Sweet Houston
Today Houston was a torrent of rain, with intersection flooded and a fountain of sewage near the Allen parkway.
And now a recap of our trip...
Left Atlanta Saturday night.
Arrived in Houston late Sunday afternoon.
823 miles over 1 short/1 long day.
15 hours of driving (timid driving until my nerves calmed down, meal breaks, Alabama fog and much construction on the I-10 in Texas.)
Back on the day of our arrival we were met with a couple of friend’s friend’s who had volunteered to help unload our fully-laden truck. They couldn't have been more helpful, powering through all our assorted boxes, furniture and miscellaneous crap. 2 and ½ hours later, we finished up. The beer had been drunk, but there was still our offer of dinner. One mover took us up on it while the other left with a rain check. We ate at the nearby House of Pies, which is a perfect place to go when feeling gross, under-dressed and exhausted. We liked it so much we did breakfast there in the morning.
At the nearby coffee house Café Artiste I was looking out the window at a new Scion XB and thought that the front of the hood hand a perfect place to mount a couple of horns. I’m pretty well settled with the idea of being Texan. Well, at least a Houstonian.
Now we are still settling in to our new apartment where our landlord had supplied us with breakfast fixings and a departing tenant said that our landlord was really nice and we would love it here.
Feeling good so far.
