I haven't had too much time to get my pictures and stuff up of Ike, since work is priority number 1. I will be consumed until I get us caught up. My main connection is twitter.
I was able to get on to twitter via my cell phone during the great power outage of 2008. And twitter was a source of information when I couldn't get info anywhere else.
But I did record for the first time some video, this is just playing around type stuff but it was part of my experience.
The best part is my 5 year old cousin talking about her mom.

Kinda Bummed
The last two weeks of my life were consumed with IKE and the interuption to power in my city. The whole City 2.5 million people. I know centerpoint had a big job to deal with but by the second week, we were getting fustrated. I know my anger level was on the edge. I was just waiting for somebody to piss me off. but alas I survived. I am one of the lucky ones. there are so many more people who lost it all. And Galveston is in my thoughts. It isn't the greatest beach but it is ours.
So, with all the chaos in my life I didn't get time to really compute that one of the great actors has past, Paul Newman. I had seen many movies with him but about 2 years ago I decided to watch some old movies one of them being Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I was shocked. At how handsome Paul Newman was. He was almost perfect. almost.
So was Elizabeth Taylor. There are no actors today that could even compare to them, in their ability to act and to look damn good.
So, I had a new fondness for Paul Newman. I loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and of course Cool Hand Luke. So, it was sad news to hear he passed.

Cool Stuff from two weeks ago.
A couple of weeks ago we held a workshop and it incorporated all the stuff I love. Internet, art and maybe some crafty stuff.
Here's some cool things to check out.
The Caroline Collective
Dr. Sketchy Houston
Happy Katie I met her at that meeting and she's got an awesome job.
Other things I have been doing is reading a couple of graphic novels.
Of course Season Eight of Buffy.
and
The Umbrella Academy even though it is written by the My Chemical Romance Guy, it is really good.
And because I never read it and there is a bunch of talk about the pending movie.
Oh and last weeks gallery opening at our space125gallery was awesome. This picture was taken by Crystal and is a piece by Lovie Olivia, the whole show is awesome check it out.
This was just fun. At Heros Alter Egos Taken by Crystal Benavides of Varina Rush
