Shirin (my sister in law) said in a comment that I need to post more pictures...and frankly I agree. Here's the thing: I don't have a camera to do that. I think this means that someone is going to have to get me one for Christmas. The last one I got for Christmas from my mom several years back was awesome but it just finally died and it only takes blurry pictures now. In the meantime I think I'll just describe pictures that I've seen here around Austin:
-There is a huge building downtown called the Frost Bank building. I think it's the biggest one in Austin and when you look at it from an angle, the top looks like an owl peering down at the city. Seriously.
-My training class for work took a picture outside of the main building. We have about six guys and six girls (all of various ages) and I think that might be a record for the number of males in once class. I was in the middle of the picture.
-East Austin (in some places) is occasionally considered the "less-than-desirable" place to live (I often drive over there for work). My supervisor and I passed a convenient store once while we were driving there and she told me that it sort of looked like an area she saw when she visited downtown Los Angeles (the bad parts).
-6th street at night - kind of like Mardi Gras but with less beads, more 18-year-old college students (if you can believe it), and fewer floats driving down the road.
Well, I think this little section is proving why I need to get a digital camera. Any takers for X-mas???

Ha! Descriptions of pictures! Well, I have a vivid imagination, so I have pictures of these things in my head now...they probably aren't accurate, but oh well!
I bet your sweet Daddy will get you that camera, but only if you promise to come back to FL! :)

Pictures are great, but word pictures are wonderful. Especially loved your describing a picture that someone took. Very entertaining and creative. One of your most enjoyable posts. RB
Where art thou o BB? Have ye abandoned us your followers?
People who only blog once a month lose their audience.....
The Oracle speaks the truth, Bren! I'd personally like to hear about your new apartment and your new rugs (or the ones you plan to get!) :)

PS You could also tell us how you like your job, unless it's the same old, same old with training still!
This is great info to know.
