That’s all they’ve got in Texas.
Although some of you obviously forgot to wish me luck on my move (bastards), Angelface and I still made it to Houston.
It wasn’t ex-laxian; the move *was not* smooth … but we did make it to Ho-Town.
On the move
Because some of you (a-holes) forgot to wish us luck:
- Angel’s flight home, (he was working the week before the move), was seriously delayed. We planned on getting the eff out of town on Tues, but Angel didn’t even arrive until Weds.
- Angel got really sick—like barfing-his-guts-out sick, like breaking-into-a-cold-sweat sick, like seeing-Mariah-Carey-in-a-swimsuit sick. Of Angel’s cold, I’d like to call it “Ms. Jackson”, because it was nasty.
- At 2am Thursday—when we couldn’t find a hotel that would accept our box-trained babies—the family Haus parked at a truck stop.
- The good news is, while I didn’t see any hookers, around 3:30 am there was someone, eyes heavy with sleep, who—in the process of copping a squat—pissed down their pant legs. The bad news is, that person was me.

I want to say thank for everyone’s well wishes this past week. And for those (beyotches) who did not well wish, you can make atonement by sending a Hallmark card to Houston. Please make sure there’s a check inside. I hear there’s an Ikea in this town and I need a table.
Til next,
xoxoH
AHH! The family plan in action at it’s finest. You forgot to mention sandspurs, goat’s head stickers, scorpions, tarrantulas, horny toads, and Uncle Pat’s ex’s and why, of course, he lives in Washington. Guess Texas hasn’t had a chance to grow on you yet. Then too, Texas is the home state of GDub, our finest surrealist philosopher in this nation, who is presently aboding in the great state of Denial.
url–good one about the ‘dub. Yes, it seems I’ve moved from one Bush state to another and we can hardly call that progress, can we?
DAMNIT!!!
Give the Bush back to the state that he was born in. Texas doesn’t want the piece of human refuse.
You have to love a governor that effectively bankrupts the educational system, gives free reign to the wealthy of the state and has an affinity for ignoring the people and instead listening to his own personal higher power.
btw… glad you made it alright.
have fun in Houston.
Now that it’s halloween you should search out theatrical supply shops. As I remember there is one of the best in the nation there.
I want to see pictures of the new pad!!! Photoshoot time!
Sorry, Hanni, but I am physically incapable of wishing anyone well who is heading to/living in ANY part of Texas. But you already knew that. What I will do is offer my condolences. Such a sad statement against our society that someone as intellectually stimulating as the infamous Hanni must be banished to the luddite wasteland that is Texas.
Keep your chin up and your bags packed!
Dead Man Balking–I totally thought of you yesterday. I was going through coupons and I saw one for Bush’s Baked Beans. It said something like “Not even grandpa knew the recipe. Grandma told him once, but like most husbands, he didn’t listen.” The funny part is, I misread it to read “Not even grandpa knew the recipe. Grandma told him once, but like most Bushes, he didn’t listen.” Heh.
Erin–I promise I’ll post soon. The camera cord is currently M.I.A., but I expect to have something up for tomorrow
Paddymick–hey maybe Texas needs me. While they got line dancing down pat, I’m pretty sure they could use some lessons in freak dancing with strangers.
Yes, there is an IKEA and it is HUGE. It opens at 10am and if you arrive before ten you can have FREE coffee in the coffee shop. They also have delicious 49 cent hot dogs all day, though I’m sure you wouldn’t want one of those.
By the way, if you go, watch carefully for the correct exit. If you miss it, you will have to go several miles to get back. I’m not kidding.
Ohh *shivers* I had the displeasure of seeing Ms. Carey in her underwear at her concert. I was forced to go by my sister who clearly lacks in the taste department.
Hopefully none of your knicknacks broke during the move!
Happy Texas Homecoming
YEE-haw!
From one of the many sucky people who didn’t wish you good luck, congrats on making it safely. I’m afraid I assumed you wouldn’t have internet access on your trip. And you know what they say about “assume”, right. Yeah, there’s always some redundant asshole who makes the “ass”, “u”, and “me” joke. I hate those people.
I have real, paper mail for you once I get the new address. Hope all is well.
HA! tinkled on your pants! Glad you guys made it in one piece.
