fifth and lavaca, austin tx


let it be noted that this might possibly have been one of the only four (out of five)
pillars-of-lisa weekends since i left oregon:
friday: received pumpkin-holding hello kitty from robin
saturday: acquired the long-coveted giant pumpkin (photo forthcoming when
shrine v. 3 is finished) and attended mountain goats concert
sunday: drank green tea frozen latte

all that was missing was a national park...

yesterday, i had my first two kolaches ever (from lone star kolaches).
today, at 7am, i had two more lone star kolaches, and soon after purchased
these from the one-block-away kolache factory. yes, i have coupons expiring
tomorrow, and, having discovered their brilliance, i will not let a free kolache go
unclaimed.

"And let no man make jest at pumpkins, for with this fruit the Lord was pleased to feed his people to their good content" - Edward Johnson, 1654, quoted in Stilgoe's Common Landscapes of North America
