One day maybe *smiles*

Austin, Texas is so exotic sounding.

She has a really good job with the local newspaper. She's supervisor of advertising (her name is on the masthead) and co-ordinates all the departments in general. Her Dad used to own the paper, but he sold it to Ballentyne(sp?). She has worked there 18 years getting promoted as she goes along. Everyone in town knows her and thinks highly of her.

That's one reason I can't believe she's taking this dip shit job. As people have commented, I guess she's simply in lust with the BF. I just hope he's a decent guy. :headshake

Memories of East Texas
And piney green rolling hills
Covered in the springtime
With golden daffodils
Rowing on Sandy Lake come April
Harvesting hay in June
Sitting by the road watching well-fires burn
By an old October moon

Memories of East Texas
Michelle Shocked

Nice lyrics but I just want to know why he

"had to leave the grassy knoll in Dallas rather quickly"

shhhhh :unsure:

I must be tired that little emoticon cracks me up.

:smack:

Yeah I know. I noticed the inference earlier but I keep rejecting it thinking rather he meant he robbed a 7-11 or had a hawt affair with someone's woman.


'note to self'
Why do I keep talking around him?

Ahh....sounds beautiful. I've never seen Texas rolling hills...how sad! Texas isn't flat, but Houston sure is. :neutral: Btw, I couldn't find any Michelle Shocked "Memories of East Texas," but I sure found lots of its covers. :p

Hihi....I was thinking the same. Wasn't sure if I should wonder it out loud. :p

I would have posted a youtube if I could have found her singing it. It's on her album Short Sharp Shocked, I highly recommend it if you can get a copy. Different, nice music.

oh yes you should He was probably just begging for it.;)

I'll look for it too. thanks

To answer SamIam, what Clodfobble said. As for this question, "Do Texans really drink out of bar glasses with ads on them?" beats me. But if you do a search online, there is a site that offers personalized bar glasses and etc. They will personalize any glassware you need to promote or advertise your business, etc. ;)

Blah, sorry your friend is leaving you. That gotta suck.

I live north of Dallas, don't think I would ever live in Dallas. Givin a choice to move to any city in the state (but had to stay in state) I would choose Austin, or rather I would choose a smaller city close to Austin where its still mostly country. That being said, living close to Dallas isn't bad. Lots to do there, if I was willing to get out. We have Dallas Museum of Arts, Dallas Natural History Museum, Dallas Aquarium, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Wind Symphony, Meyerson Symphony Center (which I have played a concert in - high school), Deep Ellum and Fair Park (have to google.) If I'm forgetting anything else awesome I'd have to be reminded. Dallas has a zoo, it is decidedly not awesome. I would suggest Tyler or Ft. Worth Zoo, don't know about any others.

To answer your question Sam, I don't doubt that Texans drink from glasses/shot glasses with advertising on 'em. I noticed a table in a fast food restaurant with ads on it, so I'm sure they're on the shot glasses to. That being said, I doubt Texas/Dallas is the only area that does so, advertising has seeped into all cracks of life. Its pretty fucking annoying. If that job doesn't work out for your friend, Dallas and Texas in general is doin pretty decent job-wise. There are also plenty of growing cities in the surrounding area that might need a newspaper woman. I'm sure y'all will welcome her back if need be.

You guys a smarter, and funnier, than the average bears. :corn:

@ Shawnee: I love that song. There are a couple of lines in that always make me think of me and my best friend when I was in my teens.
