Nipple hill, how glorious and perky 🎀

This is from one of those parts of Texas I’ve never been to. I’ve lived in this state my whole life, but haven’t been to many places in it. That fact makes me sad.

I was born here, but I don’t say “y’all.” I’ve tried and it felt unnatural and weird. Must be because my dad is from California (oh, yes, he is one of “the enemies” or whatever).

I just realized I currently live less than five miles from the hospital in which I was born. How common is that?

So, at the Texas State Fare a fire started and burned the iconic Big Tex, leaving only his hands intact, giving me a reason to post this song again: “Take a look at these hands!” … “Fire cannot hurt a man.” (I guess this is sad, but I always make light of sad situations. Plus I really like that Talking Heads song.)

Free St. Vincent and David Byrne ticket.

swiftthefox:

I’ll throw this out there one more time. Does anyone in Austin want a free ticket to see St. Vincent and David Byrne tonight? I have a spare.

Are any of my followers (besides swiftthefox himself) in Austin? If so, do you want to go to this great show for free?

(I’m already going and have my tickets, otherwise I would be all over this like shitty cheap drippy nail polish on my expensive rug.)

magnificentruin: Neil Barr The Bouffant Belles, 1962 Somewhere around here I have a poster advertising some rock show (I’m 95% sure it was a Kissinger show) that uses this photograph. It’s currently not hanging in my Hall of Rock Gig Posters, so I’m not sure where else it could be. I don’t recall it hanging in my last two apartments either. I’m hoping it’s not one of the items forgotten in The Escape from the Psycho Ex all those years ago. #RIPCuteFishMagnets&LosNumber3DinnersAlbums

The Black and White Years - “A Dense History” - The Black and White Years (2008)

Texas is my home and my heartbreak
My memory recoils from dense history
But you grew into me
Texas, I find you here
You’ve been waiting through long hot days with that old dirty face
Time must erase Texas
Texas, please be good to me
Don’t write me a tragedy
I have plenty to read, Texas
Texas, please don’t swallow me into your enormity
I am hard enough to see here in Texas
Texas is my home and my hallways
The inverted smile of a highway in profile
Your cemented Nile

This song is the closest one I can find that sums up the way I feel about where I live.
