So I watched the new Rolling Stones documentary on HBO last night. It was extremely good. All the band interviews were voice overs, no talking heads, just archival footage with some explanation piped on top. I'm not a huge Stones fan by any means but it definitely inspired me to dig into their catalog today.
There is craziness in my hometown. A girl I went to high school with, who graduated the year before I did in my husband's class, was identified as being one of the two bodies found in barrels in the lake 2 days ago near where my parents lived. Craziness, and sadness too. And all I can think of is that someone took season 5 of Dexter way too much to heart. Is that bad of me for thinking that now?

i havent come through with the food porn pics yet for the cookies i have them, but it's been a real hectic week at school since it's the week before thanksgiving
I was in Dallas a few weeks ago. I can't think of any other major U.S. city I'd rather live in less. The bubble weirds me out.
Absolutely agree. After visiting Dallas I appreciated Houston 10x more. There is just something about that city, it seems like a terrible place to live. But hey at least they have In-n-Out
yes, i would put the "big" towns in texas in this order of wanting to live there:
austin san antonio houston fort worth dallas
the few redeeming things about dallas are that they have great art, great music and great sports teams. but it is a lot of rich white people, so i dunno you really have to be able to put up with that.
Doesn't Houston have the better sports teams these days? The Texans are way better than the Cowboys, and I like the Rockets better going forward than the Mavs. I guess in baseball Dallas wins (are the Rangers in/near Dallas? I know it's technically Arlington) because the Astros are awful, but still.
the rangers are like 20 mins from dallas and you are right about football. i like the mavericks better than the rockets (and always have). just saying compared to san antonio (which only has the spurs) and austin/fort worth (which have nothing) it has pretty good teams. everything is a cycle, just b/c they aren't GREAT RIGHT NOW doesn't mean they don't have the resources and power to perhaps do it again.

Really, when it comes to Houston vs Austin in sports, it really just matters. if you're talking about OVERALL (i.e. looking at the teams as franchises, including their respective histories) or currently.
Currently, Houston may be slightly ahead of Texas, but I'd say if you're looking at the franchises as a whole and where they'll be headed for the next 10-20 years (or however long you'd want to live there), Dallas is still pretty safely ahead of Houston (despite the genius of Daryl Morey, the Mavs are still more secure long-term because of Cuban's deep pockets; the Cowboys are the Cowboys and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Texans fade into obscurity once Arian Foster is over the hill; the Rangers also have deep pockets and seem in better shape long-term than the Astros).
I've heard from numerous people that Dallas is an absolutely AWFUL place to live in general, though.
and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Texans fade into obscurity once Arian Foster is over the hill;
I don't really see this at all. Ben Tate was just as effective as Foster last year. If they have good o lineman and their zone blocking scheme, anyone's going to run well.

Actually, Foster's under 4.0 YPC this year.
Houston does a great job at drafting and acquiring depth, except at WR. They always have monsters on D. I don't know, maybe Cushing is hooking them up with his steroid connections.

Yes - that's my problem. I like BEING a rich, white guy. I just despise hanging out with OTHER rich, white guys.

We won't hold it against you, Tom. Being wealthy doesn't automatically make you snobbish. I can vouch that Tom is one of the nicest people from the boards I have ever met. Not everyone in Dallas is rich either. There is a really fun young, urban scene as well.
