A day with the dead at the Texas State cemetery
Like I said in my previous post, I spent a peaceful afternoon last Sunday at the Texas State cemetery. I've been meaning to check this place out the entire time I've lived in Austin...and I'm glad I finally did. It has to be one of the more beautiful places in the city. So...here are some pictures I took and some comments to go along with them...is it wrong to poke fun at the expense of the dead?
This isn't the place to be if Texas vanity angers you...I believe there were at least 211 of these things in the 4 block radius...I took a nap underneath that tree for a bit...pleasant.
This guy brought the first settlers to Texas in the 1830's...unless you count the Native Americans as the first settlers...but they were slaughtered shortly thereafter...so no worries.
Just when you thought the tales of the albino squirrel were all a facade...and hey, I made an A on that test I took yesterday! That test...that I made up...in my head. All you non-UT people will have no idea what I'm talking about.
This is what my nickname would be if my first name were Nary...
Should there be any other type?
I'd just like to say...I knew he was dead! There's something about that guy that just never set right with me...
Lots o' Confederates...all of them dead
More pretty light and tree pictures...I took this one from that hill that I napped on.
This was just pretty.
Ok...this has nothing to do with the cemetery...but this is what happens when bartender takes my comments about how I love the oranges in my Sunshine Wheat a little too seriously...can I have some beer with my fruit cocktail?

Oh, you did something that I really wanted to do when I was in Austin but I never got around to it. Curses. Nice pictures, especially the Frontier Lawyer one. I want my tombstone to say "Slutty Librarian" because folks will have to believe that I was one. But the joke will be on them because I'm not entirely slutty...mostly just a whore, I am.
Did they really give you your beer with all those oranges? Yikes.

Some really hilarious work -- way to encorporate humor into your photos AND copy (read: words) ... no easy feat, in my humble opinion.
Still laughing,
- gerry -
PS -- I always thought the "Albino Squirrel" was a "facade," too ... thanks for disproving that for me. My question is, where the hell was he/she before my Spanish III mid-term? !!Hay que dolor!!

Hey thanks for the props on the pictures! I've never been so good at capturing the ideal photo, but I like to take pictures anyway.
