I moved out of the Stadium yesterday and into my parents' house in the northwest burbs of Houston. From here I am going to figure out what I'm going to do for the next year of my life. Austin will be missed, especially the people - it is still the city which maintains a plurality of the people I really care about, and Houston isn't nearly as cool. On the bright side, however, I did get to go to the Houston Ginger Man last night, and I enjoyed the beer and the company a great deal. I hadn't seen B Mart in a year or so, and it has been awhile since I've seen either Garrett or Drew, and it's always refreshing to catch up. I also got to hang out with a random really drunk dude, and that's always nice.
The sad part is last night could be the last time I'll hang out with Coop for a year, as he is going to East Asia. Coop, you'll be in my prayers buddy.
This morning I went to church with Drew at Second Baptist (a.k.a. "The Bapti-dome"). In a related story, I saw the two biggest stained glass windows in the world today, along with the third largest pipe organ in the world. The amount of money this church has makes my stomach a bit queasy, but I did really enjoy the preaching: in spite of all of the money, Ben Young brought it, and even though I felt like I was attending the J.D. Rockefeller of churches, I could tell that God's hand is very much on the place. Plus they let first time visitors grab a handful of diamonds from a special plate in the welcome area, and they even supply little baggies for you to keep them in. One handful only, please.
I hope they support Drew, because if they don't I fear for their salvation.
Also, in spite of how many people attended the contemporary service I was at, I'm pretty sure I was the only person in the room who voted for John Kerry in 2004. Not a bad thing necessarily, just an observation. Seriously though, I don't know if I've ever been in a room with that many Republicans. It made me miss Matt a lot.
I was made aware of a terrible travesty today. Do you remember when CiCi's pizza was $2.99? I believe it was the best pizza value anywhere (at least according to their jingle)? Do you remember when they raised the price to $3.99? Do you remember how many consecutive nights you cried yourself to sleep, wondering if their cheap crappy delicious pizza was worth the extra dollar? Then I'm sure you'll be just as enraged as I was today when I saw a billboard on I-45 advertising CiCi's all-you-can-eat pizza for $4.49. Seriously, folks. I wouldn't joke about this. Now it's only fifty cents cheaper than that Pizza Hut buffet by campus, and there is no way that Pizza Hut is only fifty cents better than CiCi's. And how many pepperoni rolls can you get at Double Dave's for that price? Weak. If I want overpriced crappy food I would go to Chili's. CiCi's, you're fired.

Most republicans eh?
Have you not been to a UT-A&M game?
Coop-
I added the word "random" in the hopes that no one would make that mistake. You sir are far from random, at least in this crowd.
Matt-
Touche. I stand corrected. The 2003 UT - A&M game at Kyle Field definitely had more Republicans, although the percentage might have been close. It had to be closer than the final score anyways.
WitBrev people who might be in Houston this weekend-
Do you guys want to check out Ecclesia? It's the church that Chris and Robbie Seay are a part of and it's in the Gayborhood. I'm pretty sure they won't have a plate of diamonds like Second, but it sounds like a pretty cool artsy church. They meet at 5:30; let's do it.
