Munkees. Oh yeah, I said it.

When I was hoping for a good storm last night, I had no idea that we would have one the next morning. It prompted me to visit the creek again today, just to see what difference it made.
As I was walking across the bridge, I could hear the massive amount of water flowing underneath me. When I got closer, the waterfall was all I could hear.
I like this place.
It's really close to home, too. I found it on accident as I was walking back home from my second trip to the tracks. Although this place is under a bridge, I found it to be quite relaxing.
I can't wait to visit this place after (or maybe even during) a good rain storm. The trickling water should be a bit more dramatic, then.
...but I didn't win any money. Maybe I went to the wrong kind of tracks for that. I'm pretty sure these tracks aren't used at the moment, but I still found myself being somewhat paranoid about the potential of oncoming trains. I kept looking over to the street at the guard signals, just to reassure myself that I was safe. Still, I think I want to go back and walk down the line some more.
My trip to Dallas was somewhat disappointing. This makes the second trip in a row that didn't live up to what I had hoped. I still had fun, though, and it won't stop me from going back to Dallas next weekend. If this next trip is also a bust, then I might have to rethink the frequency of my visits.
But every now and then, Buddy (pictured above), turns into a little monster (pictured below)!
I saw this picture of a Tree Spirit from Princess Mononoke and decided that I want one. I also want a plush Cthulhu.
Having grown up in the desert, I didn't have many oportunities to experience fog. There would be something like one foggy morning every couple of years.
Now that I live in Texas, it seems like I get to see fog fairly often. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it, though. Sometimes it's no big deal, you can still see well enough. Then there are those really thick patches, where you can hardly see. Those are creepy.
I'm not talking about bondage here. But, I am moving to Austin. This fills me with all kinds of excitement and dread. This, coupled with some other crap going on in my life, makes my mood have more ups and downs than the roller coasters at Six Flags. However, I am quite certain this is a good move for me. Once everything settles down, I'm sure to be a much happier person.
The job sounds a lot more interesting than what I got right now. I also won't have to work in a vault. On top of that, they are going to give me more money. Who can argue with that arrangement? Although, I am somewhat nervous about starting a new job. I feel like I haven't learned anything in the past 5 years. I can't help but feeling I might be getting in over my head.
I'm much more worried on the social front. As everyone knows, I'm socially not so much. While I do know quite a few people in Austin, I don't know anybody very well. There are a couple of people, however, that I'm really hoping to get to know a lot better once I get down there. At least one of them has boatloads of friends, so I'm hoping that finding my social happy spot won't be too bad.
I can't wait to move down there, but at the same time, I'm going to miss a lot of the people/places up here.
Wish me luck, and come visit.
