Could be my election day… | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/could-be-my-election-day
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Could be my election day…. As a rule, I don’t write blog entries before noon. My rational brain is prone to producing all kinds of random stuff during the morning hours, and my internal censor is very unreliable. But today is pretty crazy already, so let’s just go for it. Meanwhile, the world continues to turn. The Supreme Court is weighing a case that may well determine the extent of pharmaceutical companies’ tort liability for the foreseeable futur...Is bein...

Hope has finally arrived. | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/hope-has-finally-arrived
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Hope has finally arrived. Conservatives, please feel free to stop reading now. I respect your right to hold your opinions, but now I’m going to express mine. [scattered though they may be–it is, after all, hours before noon.]. AND many of the ballot initiatives broke in favor of progressivism, too. Never mind. Looks like Prop 8 is going to pass after all. And Christmas has been cancelled.

Out and about in Houston (no, really!) | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/out-and-about-in-houston-no-really
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Out and about in Houston (no, really! The forecast for Minneapolis, as reported this morning by the. Tonight’s low of 33 degrees will be the coldest of the season, and a cool week is in store after relatively warm highs in the 60s over the weekend. Highs this week will be mainly in the 50s with lows in the mid- to upper 30s. Frost is possible each night through Saturday. The forecast for Houston (from the. I managed to overcome my shyness and my fear of strang...

Sick movies* | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/sick-movies
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Meaning movies you watch when you’re sick, not nausea-inducing movies or movies not carried by Blockbuster due to adult content. It is to be sick. Lying on the sofa or in bed, feeling individual air molecules pelting my body, unable to focus on much outside the ambit of my own suffering. (Melodrama is one symptom that runs through all of my illnesses.) Just about the only thing I feel capable of doing is watching movies. Reruns are good; even if I haven’...

If there’s one born every minute, I’ve got a lot of company | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/10/25/if-theres-one-born-every-minute-ive-got-a-lot-of-company
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. If there’s one born every minute, I’ve got a lot of company. 8220;If I owned Texas and hell, I’d rent out Texas and live in hell.”. 8211;Gen. P.H. Sheridan. Long story short (short. At least), after twenty-four hours of hiding her from Emmett and the building managers, and generally feeling like I was trapped in an episode of. I found a rescue group to take her. All’s well that ends well. On October 25, 2008 at 2:55 pm Comments (3). To TrackBack this entry is:.

A vast conspiracy | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/a-vast-conspiracy
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. My sense of direction is not great. In fact, it’s not even adequate. But after living in Minneapolis for ten years, I could usually find my way around. All the same, I tended to stick rigidly to the routes I knew and avoided experimenting with new ones. Sure, that other road. These street smarts were earned over the course of a decade. And now I’m back at zero. I’ve been here almost two months (? 8211;I start out with printed directions in hand. I’ve...8211;Th...

TEXAAAAAS FIGHT!! | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/texaaaaas-fight
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Rishi lured me to Dallas for the weekend by proposing a trip to the Texas State Fair. As it happened, this was also the weekend of the 103rd annual Texas Longhorns-Oklahoma Sooners game, aka the Cotton Bowl, aka the Red River Shootout. It was, quite possibly, the greatest football game. The game itself was incredibly hard-fought and suspenseful. Fifth-ranked Texas ended up beating top-ranked OU, 45 to 35. We all screamed ourselves hoarse and rode a wav...Gave ...

Look out, Tina Fey! | The Accidental Texan
https://accidentaltexan.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/look-out-tina-fey
A stranger in a strange, cowboy-booted land. Look out, Tina Fey! Here’s a serious contender. In the Sarah Palin lookalike contest. I’m sure she’s every bit as articulate, too. On a non-snarky note, I was delighted to see Chris Rose. Doing the play-by-play for the Lions-Texans game on Sunday. He managed the student radio station when I was in college. My friend Lynn and I had our own show, and I had a little crush on Chris. He was so handsome and so nice! On October 21, 2008 at 12:49 pm Comments (1).
