Project Updates:

So we have all decided that 2008 is not going to suck.

Things to do (in the near future):

• Em and I are going to fix up our single-speed bikes and have them ready for SXSW. I am looking for parts on Craiglist and debating if I want to continue with the frame I have or get something different. Frankenbike and the Yellow Bike Project are other resources to be used.
  
• I am going to volunteer for SXSW so I can have a badge again. Volunteer call is on January 20th.
• In an effort to go out and enjoy the live music capital, I am buying my tickets for Band of Horses this week.
• I really need to get the light fixture installed in my kitchen. I need light in there.

• It was free week at Emo's so I went out on Friday night to see Brothers and Sisters. Last night we saw Quiet Lovely and LA Snacks. Emo's is a nice casual venue but I hate the sound guy. The sound is always so unbalanced.
• I made myself some armwarmers and a new book bag. I've been saying that I needed a new black bag for the last year so I finally sat down and did it during my day home from work (who says that sick days can't be productive).
• I am back to a love hate relationship with my hair. The braids are gone. The afro came and went. I resorted to the chemicals so I could brush it without crying in pain. My hair is short now and it looks good if I avoid humidity. But it really isn't possible to stay out of humidity in Texas.
