Go Texan Day 2012

Here’s my ‘getup’ for this year’s Go Texan Day 2012. Improved the outfit a bit with a bolo tie and some cowboy boots. Maybe next year, I’ll be able to get some woollies. Working on trying to get some of the photos a co-worker took of a group of us. There were five people, including myself, that dressed up and participated in the photo. The photo was a time lapse, so we jumped in the air as a group and it looks pretty good.

Just need to figure out how to make a looping-gif with the photos.

Go Texan Day!

And here it is:

02-23-12 Tomorrow is Go Texan Day

Arguably, tomorrow is one of the fun-est days in Houston all year. It’s the one day, in the whole year, when it’s acceptable to dress up like a cowboy and go to work. No teasing. No taunting. It’s completely normal, one day a year, it’s Go Texan Day! (Now all they need is GO Star Wars Day, or Pajama Day.)

Here’s a picture of me in front of the Texas flag from last year’s Go Texan Day:

Go Texan Day sort of sneaked up on me this year, so I’ll be wearing the same thing again. Still no cowboy boats, can’t get behind spending several hundred dollars on uncomfortable boots I’ll year once a year.

02-14-12 Happy Valentine’s Day Liz Lemon!

I tease a coworker all the time for being Liz Lemon. You know, eating Lean Cuisine at home alone and choking and having to do a ‘chair heimlich’ so that her 30 cats don’t feast on her body. Light, playful stuff, you know?

It being Valentine’s day, and her having a sense of humor, she brought this in today:

There was another one that said ‘Lasagna for 1′, a Flight of the Conchord’s reference to Jerome being dumped and lonely. Brilliant! Happy Valentine’s day to everyone!
