Trippin': Austin - The Capitol

Of all the times I went to Austin, I had never checked out the Texas State Capitol. I dunno. Seemed kinda boring? Luckily for me, I prolly would never have bothered going if the segway tour didn't make a stop there. We parked the segways and were given some time to go inside. There really isn't much. I snapped a couple of fotos. While on the second floor looking down, I decided to be stoopid and had big poppa film me while I ran the entire circle while waving my arms and shaking my head. Haha. I got some stares and laughs but not as much as I would have liked. Haha. Afterwards, we drove around the premises of the capitol. Our guide was telling us the history and facts of certain statues and landmarks but as usual, I don't listen and focus more on taking as many fotos as I can. There was this one moment where we saw another group of people on segways head our way and I quickly shouted out oooh, here comes a rival segway group. EmDee started snapping her fingers and then we were all playing the part of Westside Story. Hah. Still cracks me up when I think about it.

Birthday: Mochi

Today, mochi is celebrating a milestone birthday. So Happy Birthday lady! We went out to dinner a few times this weekend. My gift to her, along with the COVE t-shirt that everyone has been receiving, is a blown-up foto of her on the slopes in Keystone. I take so many fotos that I'm constantly trying to figure out how to give foto gifts. I printed out a 20X30 photo and adhered it onto a foam board. Big poppa had me write on the back Carving your way into your 30's ... Haha. So dorky.

Musik Mundi: Nelly

On the ride home from the cousins house last night, Nelly's new song came on the radio. OMGawd so good! That electric acoustic riff in the beginning and end of the song is baaaddd. Big poppa even took his hands off the steering wheel to play a little air geetar. Haha. The beat is just awesome. I love a song that makes me want to just bust out dancing while walking around with my supa kool beats by dr. dre over the ear headphones. I have to practice self-control sometimes and remember that I'm in public. I have however on occasion found an empty room and just let loose. Hah. This morning I received a few e-mails from people hooraying and welcoming back Nelly. I concur.
