I'm a model, you know what I mean?

I guess I should update this so when my grandkids or my biographer wants to know what happened during June and July of 2009. I'll just make some bullets about each aspect of my life so that'll make it easier.

* modeling - I can now add runway modeling to my resume. Yelp had an event during Austin fashion week where some Yelpers got to put on some expensive clothes and walk down a catwalk at the Mohawk. I'm still waiting for that talent scout to call me.

* gardening - There is a drought going on all over Texas and it's killing my garden. The squash and zucchini where eaten up long ago by vine borers. Two of my cucumbers have succumb to the heat and my other cucumber and tomatoes are likely to be next. Surprisingly, the peppers really like the heat and are doing well, kinda.

* job - I got a job. It's somewhat a change in my career as I'm learning several new programming languages, APIs and such.

*Q-Bert - My beloved childhood pet had to be put down last week because he was suffering with renal failure. He was 16 years old, so it was for the best.

* art - I started painting a 6-canvas piece that is going to be my masterpiece once it's finished. I've also started doing some decorating in the living room and am finally turning a set of my boobs into a lamp.

There are probably a lot of other things I'm forgetting about, but this is about as much as you can soak in for one post.
