File it under: tonightsgonnabeagoodnight
No really, someone out there arrived at xlyssa by googling “tonightsgonnabeagoodnight.” All one word. You have to love the internet, where a phrase I can’t even find on my own site–with or sans spaces–somehow directed someone out there to me. And really dude, no spaces? Blackeyedpeas would be sad. Anyway, spices are really what’s up…
Star Jumps
Whew, we made it from Austin to Aspen in right around 19 hours, including stops. Nali was drugged, so she was drowsy and didn’t pant the whole way. She did act sort of drunk when we got her out of the car, it was really funny. Awesome! That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) and I stopped…

HH features $1 off tequila, $4.95 house margaritas, $5 House wines by the…
Sick
And very, very tired of being sick. Thought Paleo was supposed to make me healthier? What am I doing wrong here? Enjoy The Label Says Paleo until I bounce back (hoping for tomorrow, fingers crossed).
Let the madness begin: SXSW 2010
It appears the SXSW media frenzy has come earlier than usual this year. It’s just less than a month out, but the twitter/blogger/media buzz is already loud and, well, buzzing. So I’ve come to your rescue, this is life in austin readers, and put together the beginnings of a spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Asjskwdlt0podDk4V2R6T1VScHNGa05kQ0hyd2Y4d3c&hl=en I will be updating…
