Cruisin the Cliff

often while out in the world i snap pics of whatever is around me. This was taken the Sunday before Mardi Gras near Bishop Arts. TJ and I were out discovering the area, or -Cruisin the Cliff- as I've decided to call it. It's my new Saturday afternoon activity as I prepare to move there this May. I was searching for prospective rental properties and we came upon a ton of parked cars. Bishop Ave was closed for a Mardi Gras parade! We were too late for the actual parade, but the band was still playing so we grabbed a root beer from the soda gallery ( www.thesodagallery.com ) and trekked up and down the block. I really can't wait to finally move to Oak Cliff. There is such a great community of artists there. Oh, btdubs, the soda gallery is accepting submissions for their tribute to the 40th anniversary of Abbey Road, by the Beatles. Submissions, all mediums, are being accepted through March, show is April 25th.

I could really use a cup of coffee

The last time I tried to post on this thing everything I typed was in Hindi. How do I know it was in Hindi? I googled it of course. How odd to have my blog auto-translated to Hindi. I took this as a sign. Maybe I was supposed to travel to Northern India, become a Bollywood film producer. Perhaps I was supposed to meet a nice Indian man and settle down. Maybe I was supposed to learn more about Hinduism. I wasn't sure After 4 months of research, Indian dating sites, yoga study (not practice mind you!) I realized that auto-translation is an option on this website. I must've accidentally clicked it one day. But I did re-discover the Cosmic Cafe. MMM tasty! In these tough economic times I have taken to bringing my lunch to work every day. Because I essentially have a working lunch I usually leave around 2 or so to have coffee with Danny. After a nice long coffee chat I returned to my car in the Preston Center parking garage. A woman approached me and said, "Ma'am. You are t
