...now we come around again...

THIS marks the beginning of the end:

Texas House to cheerleaders: Don't shake it - Texas lawmakers sent a message to the state's high school cheerleaders Wednesday: no more booty-shaking at the game.

Quilled Scripts is back, chock full of feature-filled goodness for you. I just so happen to have the time to deal with it today, plus I’ve been stockpiling features for the last week or so.

My car is back, and the AC never felt sweeter. Plus, I didn’t have to pay over a grand to get it fixed. Klein’s Auto is the first HONEST auto shop I’ve encountered. Forget Dobbs or Car-X - I HIGHLY recommend them for all your auto repair needs; ask for Larry.

Hung out with Scott on Tuesday. We listened to that Burger King 9-1-1 call and the Pat O’Brien voice mails. It was all very hilarious. Oh, and Scott has done a mix of “The Hand That Feeds” by Nine Inch Nails. It’s VERY good. We went to Best Buy, and Scott got some new games. One is a hunting game where dangerous animals hunt YOU at the same time you’re hunting them. Another is a very, very acid-tripped out game which I can’t remember the name of. When I do, I’ll say more about it.

I’m still suffering through these damned allergies. I’m on Advil and Allegra-D. Fun times. I’ll say it again, allergies suck.

Quill's Final Thought (of the Blog):

I admit being too liberal is a very dangerous thing; after all, there’s something to be said for discretion. But, being too conservative infringes on the very thing that makes our country great – our FREEDOM.
