'bout to get on my Wurst behavior....

AACK! THE WEARY BOYS are comin back! (...well... back to Austin....)
so freakin' excited to see this band again.

 So this means we'll be Austin way two weekends this month and New Orleans thanksgiving weekend.  ha! love it.

first up! Wurstfest this weekend...(zicke zacke..) oy
i think it's gonna be cold and rainy to be wearin a dirndl.
oh well.... fun fun fun! must remember to take my flask....

oh and read Erin Leigh's Roommates - quick read. a little dirty. And hockey. I liked it!

not every girl

our friends ancestry.com dna test results came back today!

*best gift every time we give it*

Super interesting! and she's an ALL OVER Europe gal - coulda sworn she had native american but nope...

Given that her mother is adopted and she doesn't know who her father is, I really hope it gives her a little more sense of self.

being too conventional is boring in my opinion though...
I "act like a white girl" for Mexicans
I "don't look Mexican" to Americans
"where's my accent" for a Texan? (...ummm maybe cause I grew up in Canada...?)
"You speak Spanish?!" "You listen to country?!"

But honestly...the older I get the more I like that I'm all of the above.

Fixin' to start reading Luckiest Girl Alive - we'll see....

She’s a flighty good time buddy in the corner of the bar
But she’d fight the Devil for ya just for being who you are
And she’s the last to cast a stone though she’d love to leave you mad
Aw she’s every friend I’ve ever had

FOOD (love, wars and awkwardness)

read an article about "michelin star wars".  it was interesting.

made me think of us trying the 3 star Berasategui in San Sebastian.
honestly?...it didn't really do much for me...yeah I tasted things I never had before...like squid ink. And it certainly was an experience...very formal and sterile. The servers were on point.

But would I recommend it over say...Juanito Kojua in old town? No.

That's just me though - what do I know...I never said I was a food connoisseur.
I just like food.
(and Spain definitely = food = LoveLoveLOVE for me)

but back to Berasategui...
another thing was, I asked to go back into their kitchen so I could thank the chefs...

We got in there and those poor cooks looked terrified and totally exhausted.
I went in with my camera all like "hey guys! lets hug for food happiness!!"

and instead we backed out awkwardly (and as soon as possible) to help them not be so terrified instead.
That's def a memory in the awkward column for sure....

Finished The Shadows - so wow... yeah aside from getting a little story line/character convoluted, what she did was hard to do. I think she did it well. I'm still hangin on for sure. I saw that the Beast is next. I had doubts on her going back for the King so this time we'll see how she re-covers ground.

Also read Emma Chase's Sustained - maybe not the most believable to go so opposite but a good one!
