austin, tx

not much to say here yet. drove out of san antonio this morning, passed a tanger center aboot half way and had to stop to do a little shopping. actually, i had begun to notice a lack of plain t-shirts in my car/house, so thats what i was going for. then arrived in austin around noon and spent three fucking hours driving around trying to find a place for lunch. seriously. austin is remarkably frustrating for driving if youre not from around here and dont have a good map. and theres not a goddamn eatery anywhere near my hotel. i ended up settling for jack in the box (which is actually pretty good - once you get away from new england theres all these great regional drive-thru places, much more satisfying than the mcdonalds/subway variety, its one thing the new york area is truly missing - of course, i probably give more weight to this issue than the normal person because im at least half-retarded). anyway, like i said, not doing much today, ill be exploring tomorrow and friday. im gonna go get dinner at a place called threadgills, which is supposed to be quite good. thats all. by the way, its 95 degrees today. i love it.
