Congrats to Stingray for the successful acquiring of acceptible digs.

Jackasses like Blaine just encourage my desire to retreat from “communities” where people sprawl around and hop from kegger to kegger.

What a dipshit.

Hope you are feeling well, and attempting taco-vana, Twisty!

Couldn’t help but notice how much the graffiti-ed building (and even the concrete posts protecting that power unit) looked like a daycare center.

Was there playground equipment, too?

Is it possible that you had confused a daycare center with an apartment complex?

Has anyone ever met a person named Blaine who was not an jackass? Just curious.

And those apartments are truly frighening.

Finn, as the average resident appeared to be about 20, I think the words “day care center” and “apartment complex” are interchangable in this case.

And now, I return to puking.

Damn chemo. It’s shitty that you are dealing with that. Sorry to hear it.

You and Stingray need to run, run, run to the computer and order Robert Altman’s Three Women through Netflix (I hope that it’s there, although I don’t have Netflix, so I’ve never checked). The character played by Shelley Duvall lives in what I imagine to be an exact replica of the swingin’ singles complex you describe, and I think that it might even be in Austin. Anyway, it’s an incredible movie for many reasons, not the least of which is the almost unbearable greatness of its two leads: Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek.

Maybe you’ve seen this movie before. It’s sort of like the hoosier Persona.

Poor, misunderstood Metropolis. Just because it looks like an apartment complex who likes to listen to Widespread Panic…

My favorite complexes in Austin are (1) the one that looks like an Ewok Village at I-35 and Woodland (2) the one called “Cypress Hill” on South 1st and Cardinal (3) the cowboy/wagon wheel apartments off of Reinli between I-35 and Cameron.

What’s Central East? Is that the Eastern part of Central Austin or the center of East Austin?

Twisty, I love your blog, and your new haircut, and I would so make out with you.

Ugh, believe it or not, I used to have to go there to vote. I went to a party there once, too. Did not stay but for like a half hour. Refrained–barely–from stealing stuff.

Just fer shits & giggles, wouldn’t it be funny to have a sample from the community swimming pool analyzed by the health department?

Er, maybe that would just be depressing.
