There were two women standing the middle of the northbound traffic lanes on Lamar this afternoon. Not in the center turn lane, but in the middle of the traffic. They both had babies with them. I almost pulled over to chew them out.

The traffic has been crazy with SXSW this week. Going anywhere near the center of town is a headache. Though on my way down, the sky looked very similar to my icon. The top of the tower was orange tonight.

Sat in Metro and talked to Rachel for a few hours, which was good. Watched some stupid people argue with Greg. Metro really needs a sign that says "Do not taunt Greg." Dangerous business, that is.

I am watching the Food Network, which is usually the highlight of my Saturday nights. There's a special on a pastry chef competition. Each team must produce five different desserts, one chocolate sculpture and one sugar sculpture in 13 hours over two days. So stressful.

Perhaps I should have stayed at Metro longer. I was tired however. I'm not even up to making this entry more poetic.

No more anonymous comments here. I'm sick of it.

I don't often go to metro, so I"m curious.

Who's Greg, and why is taunting him so dangerous?

Greg is one of the guys who works behind the counter, and has for many many years. He doesn't take shit from people, and I've seen him throw many a drunk or coked up jerk out of the building. He chased down a nasty punk kid along with the owner and held him down til the cops arrived after the kid caused a scene and broke a tray of glasses.

Taunting him, or being rude to him is a good way to get yourself banned from Metro.

Though I must point out that he's an awesome, stand up sort of fellow. A good guy to have at your back, no doubt.

Erin and I got to Metro at 12. We stayed until 3. I'm sorry I missed you. :(

Doh! I was slow and weary, and I wanted to go home and watch Iron Chef.
