This is my favorite photo of Oh Canada and myself from the last night of partying in Austin at the Pure Volume Ranch, hosted by Digg.com. I had way too many red bull vodkas (4 or 5) and was hyped up all night. I got back to my hotel room around 3:30am and packed. Napped like 30 minutes before getting up to finish packing and left for the airport around 6:30am. It was so funny cuz around 5am I got a text message from Oh Canada saying "I am so pissed drunk I don't even know how I packed and made it to the airport". Additionally, I posted my photos from the party up on Facebook and there was this one photo of Oh Canada and some guy. She commented on it and said she has no idea who that guy is. I commented back that I thought that they were acting like best buds and that they were gonna go make out or something so I took a photo and left them alone. Hahahaha she is hilarious.
Yesterday was a waste cuz I flew back from Austin and was completely exhausted. I did not workout once in Austin but got to lay by the pool for 2 hours and got a hint of a tan (when I'm nekkid, you can tell where my bikini top was covering me). Met a lot of great people and learned some new stuff. All in all, I had such a blast and hopefully I get to go back to it again next year and I will pay out of my own pocket to stay for the music stuff too.
I am very glad that I don't have a job that I have to travel often for. It is a great experience to go somewhere and learn new things like I am right now in Austin but if I had to do this every month I think I'd have to get a new job. The hotel that I am staying at will be getting a low rating on Yelp. Who the fuck sends their housekeeping service at 730 am in the morning? Additionally, the wall are thin and there is some sort of construction pounding and drilling that goes on and on all day, and it is right above my room. I didn't party last night cuz I was feeling yucky from the previous nights of partying and general lack of sleep. I am pretty ready to go home and sleep in my own bed.
Panda's mom is watching Solo for me all week and she sent me some very cute photos of Solo and her dogs. It looks like Solo is having such a great time. I hope she wants to come home to me :) Haha. I miss Pooky Face already.
I rolled my left foot this morning and now the ankle's all hurting. I hope I can still run the 5k on Sunday.
I'm exhausted like most of the SXSW attendees here. Not due to the sessions, but the night after night of hosted parties. I think I'm quite a bit alcoholed out. For reals.
Last night, we went to a party hosted by Moo.com, Threadless, and Etsy. SurfBoy and I stayed for like maybe an hour and we were so exhausted so we left Oh Canada and her man there.
The night prior, we went to this party that was suppose to have DJs but they had a live band/freak show. It bothered me a lot because I am just not into being entertained by people who aren't as fortunate as I am in terms of physical wholenss. I was not enjoying myself, even after three silveritas. SurfBoy was attending another party earlier on and met up with my friends and I at the Scoot Inn. By the time he arrived it was at full capacity. He got to jump the fence with the founder of Digg (Kevin Rose) to get into the party, which was like the highlight for him so far. Haha. I guess if I got to jump the fence with Steve Jobs I'd be super stoked too.
Now I'm at a kinda boring session but it is headed by a super cool designer guru, Guy Kawasaki.
I'll post more later. It's been difficult to wanna open up my laptop to blog. Too much stuff to experience. :)
I need to workout. Bad... Need a massage, even worst... I go home tomorrow... Can't wait to sleep in my own bed.
Target has these Milano cookies on sale for $2 each bag. I got chocolate w/raspberry center, regular raspberry, and regular orange. I stuffed my face with 2 from each bag on the drive home. They rule, I rule. We ruled together.
Oh and did you know the hottest fashion trend for women's running outfit is this mini skirt thing with short shorts underneath? I almost bought a pair but I was like, OK, I'm gonna be running and I'm gonna feel like I'm gonna die physically so no matter what I wear I will NOT look sexy. So yah, I got long shorts and pant instead.
I forgot stamps. It was one of the three things that I needed to get and I forgot 'em. I even wrote it down on my mobile device. WTF. I get so distracted by all the goodies that Target has to offer.
Something is fucked up with my right elbow. It's been hurting like a mofo for the last month and the pain hasn't gone away. I can't really lift anything cuz it just gets aggravated. I hope nothing is broken. Maybe Dr Angel will put me back together when I see him the Saturday after I get back from Austin.
The clothes that I ordered a week and a half ago arrived today. 2 dresses, 4 tops, 2 skirts, 1 sweater for $124 which included shipping. I am a bargain shopper that used her budget wisely. Hooray :) New clothes for me to wear in Austin! OH OH OH and I found out today that the hotel that I'm staying at has a rooftop heated swim pool! Awww yeah. I'll be using that and hopefully have a few friends over to enjoy it with me. Gotta figure out which swim suit to bring since I'm much smaller than the last time I wore swim suits.
Fun times ahead and I hope I meet some cool people :)
OK seriously now, I've gotta fold laundry and pack.
I have so much to do to prep myself for the Austin trip:
- Work stuff that never ends
- Workout
- Laundry
- Pack
- Backup my computer in case I break it
- Get cash
- Get my ass to the airport
I need a personal assistant.
Sorry for the boring ass post. Bleh!
