Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Rant

Hi. Remember me? Yeah, I once was the author of a neat little blog, but then my real life took over and the internet-me had to take a back seat. I am back in action now though, and will be doing my best to get up to pace with my posts and fill you in on all the wonderfully neat things that have pulled me away from my regular pandering here on Saccharine Thoughts.

The first of September is upon us, which I think I can safely call Autumn even though it's still a hundred f'ing degrees here in Austin. Anyone who is anyone knows that the first of the month means it is time for a little check-in with the to-do list fairy. September promises to be a ridiculously busy month, so here is what lies ahead:
  • The Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, which I highly suggest to anyone in Austin who remotely enjoys laughing. OOB consists of wonderfully talented comedy, sketch and improv groups from all over the country dogpiled into this awesome little city I call home. I will be shooting shows back-to-back-to-back on Sept 2nd through the 5th. Do not, I repeat, do not expect an entry beyond a link to my ever-expanding Flickr page during that time.
  • My dear MissTuft's birthday! I do believe a triple-choco Twilight cake is in order for this delightful lady.
  • Ka-BAAM! Starts September 11 at the Hideout! I hold a specific soft spot in my heart for this show, as it was the first improv show I'd ever seen here in Austin. I'll skip the nostalgia for now and just say, check it out. I also had the honor of working with the awesome cast and shooting the promo shot for this show!
  • Wedding Bells! My high school pal Megan is getting married, and I'll be spending the 3rd week of September celebrating this momentus occasion the best way that I know how - by making her a cake. Yes as in, THE cake.
  • It's really happening... I am taking a real live vacation. Suffice it to say I am incredibly stoked. Stay tuned for details.
As you can see, September promises to be challenging, exciting, tiring... probably much much more, and I just can't wait to share it with you.

TTFN - Chris

Introductions

I’ll be spending the next few weeks culling through old posts, removing some that were contrived, forced, posted for the sake of posting something. In the meantime, I think it’s important to make some introductions. Six years and all. Meet Frankie and Sasha. These girls currently live with me part-time, as a matter of custody arrangements (more on that later), and I get the joy of spending every other week spoiling them with hikes, swims, and way too many baby carrots. My sweet, loyal, neurotic, too-smart Carmen passed away in November 2013 at 5½ years old due to kidney disease, which she had battled most of her too-short life. Just three weeks later, I came across a scraggly, injured, smelly black puppy aimlessly wandering the mean streets of Beaumont, TX. She was worse for the wear and looked like spare parts, but she was the epitome of friendly. We wrapped her in a towel and she promptly fell asleep in my arms. I dubbed her Frankenstein’s dog, which was shortened to Franki

There's No Place

In the month or two that I've been so carelessly absent here, my living situation has been decidedly... undecided. The roommate with whom I signed a 14-month lease expressed interest in moving out back in May (lease ends October 19) and followed through on her whim to bail in June, leaving me with our ideal 2/2 apartment and double rent. Coincidentally, a friend fresh out of A&M thought he might take the spare room but has yet to find a job, so that fell through. I had plans of subletting a friend's apartment when he leaves for school in September and thought I would just tough out the double rent until then. That plan went ka-put as well, and probably for the better. I made the solid decision last week to re-sign the lease on my own. Yes, that is just how much I love this apartment, the location, the people... Vaulted ceilings, spacious layout, washer/dryer connections, colorful accent walls painted by yours truly, all this tucked away in Austin's Greenbelt with a bea
