Austin Restaurant Week (which is really two beginning-of-the-weeks, Sept 13-16 and Sept 20-23) kicked off last night, so being the procrastinator I am, while fellow foodies headed out to Hudson’s on the Bend and other fine establishments, my handyman and I were just sitting down to choose our own adventures. We employed colored sharpies and…

Work it Out Weekend
I’ll be doing the CrossFit Women’s Challenge (and winning it) Saturday morning, and may recover by hitting Empower Yoga for some free yoga to stretch out my soreness. Come Sunday, I can dance away the day for free! Of course, there are tons of awesome shows this weekend too, but I’ll let Austin Eavesdropper tell…
Because I’m Obsessed with TiVO …
Premiere Calendar? Inside Scoops? Online recording? Obviously I’ll love the new interactive Fall TV Microsite that TiVo just launched. I mean, I almost MISSED the 90210 premiere, which was intense and packed with drama. Liam is back?! And he loves Naomi?! And how does Adriana look SO much hotter this season than last? Like, she…
Thursday Tidbits, Tweetups, Trailers, and Temptation (buy your date)

Melrose Place and other TV I Can’t Help But Watch
Who else watched the Melrose Place premiere last night? I loved it. Then again, I love cheesy nighttime soaps and used to watch the old Melrose Place (what were my parents thinking?! the whole fam would watch together … did I know at the time how scandalous it all was??), plus love the new 90210.…
Labor Day: Free Day of Yoga
It’s back! Most of Austin’s yoga studios are offering FREE classes Monday. All over town, all types of yogas. Here for details. The schedule is MASSIVE, and they’ve divided it up into Morning / Afternoon / Evening classes, as well as have separate listings for Austin-vicinity places. My suggestion? Bikram at BYD: http://www.bydaustin.com. I made…
Labor Day Weekend
My brother and I are having some friends over tonight (ok, it’s a rager), but other than that I have NO PLANS for Labor Day Weekend. This is rare, people, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’m thinking I’m going to embrace the nothingness and DO nothing. But were I to do things, what they…

While you can play Free Rice (a word definition game) for as long as you like and donate as…
Dressing Up Ghosts
Ok, not really. First we’re dressing, then we’re ghosting. The new Dress Shop boutique above Elephant Room is finally throwing their kickoff cocktail party to show off fancy frocks from LA and NYC. It’s about time we got a new store in the heart of downtown that wasn’t on Second Street, where it all starts…
