it rains.

well, i'm exited to visit the creeks once the weather breaks; but until then it shall be relaxed indoor periods observing the dark outside of steady light rainfall. so it appears that my outdoor weekend activities will be postponed. although the botanical garden festival might still be on; i can't think of a better venue than this for the warm fragrance that accompanies ferns, flowers, and trees clouded in warm moisture.

Something I've always wanted to do.

And never will.

the usual - The permanent address

I enjoy the program; and for a small yearly fee; it is quite useful. I've uploaded a decent amount of photos so far.

Drafthouse to move to Ritz - Life & Arts

Drafthouse to move to Ritz - Life & Arts

Well, the only way to properly pay respect to this move is by taking in as many events before the June transition; such as this one this evening:

the original: TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE

so thunderstorms and busy days: quite a way to start a week.

everything is fresh and damp; I cannot wait until the trails dry a bit more and I can go ride the greenbelt. hopefully the water will be up, because there's no better place when it is.

yesterday I got to attend my first engineers without borders meeting. a local chapter was just started the middle of last year and I finally got in touch with them. seems like quite a rewarding and fun group. now I just need to learn spanish: I know it can't be that hard; I just have to figure a way to get started... It is one of my goals that I've been putting off now for a while, but soon enough. here's the site for the EWB ; seems like they don't have a local chapter site up yet.

so the remainder of this week should be good: perhaps soccer or wine bar tonight and then the original transformers movie tomorrow at the Alamo in honor of this summer's new release. Thursday should be fun with a co-workers art showing (provided it isn't like an episode of the Office that is) and softball. and then more weekend fun; I can hardly wait.

the rain of spring

well, it is here again - and welcomed it is. there's nothing quite like the warm needed rain of spring where when you walk outside the air permeates with the warm musty growing of plants and leaves.

so i finally put together more of my pictures. take a look

this weekend was fairly fun: got to play an exciting game of kickball on friday and enjoy some excellent local clam pizza afterwards. saturday was fun with soccer (we won 6-1) and an afternoon of reading and picture sharing followed by an excellent meal of seafood at a restaurant that i've been wanting to try for years. and the weekend finished yesterday with a relaxing day of cooking, reading, and just a bit of sports watching. not too terrible a way to prepare for a busy busy week of work.
