I turned on my cellphone and found 3 messages from my friend who I always end up missing when I come home. He said he's coming to Austin for the week and wanted to do something. Austin's 4 hours away from here, but I don't think he has any concept of maps. I wouldn't mind going to some of the shows there, though. I hear there is a good 'music scene'. But, like I said, I miss him when I come home and now he gets to miss me when he comes here since this is the weekend I'm going to BR (first in a couple months). Maybe next time; I doubt I'll go all the way to Austin by myself.

I was invited yesterday by Flicker to go wandering around in the desert finding god knows what; I had to decline because A) If you knew Flicker, you might be apprehensive wandering the badlands with him; and B) It's the weekend between this coming, and AC. I couldn't drive all the way out to where he lives on a 2-day weekend, not now at any rate. Maybe some other time, though.
