The Alamo

I mentioned in a previous post that I went to see the Alamo.


The Alamo is in the heart of the city of San Antonio and many places tie right back to, including the Crockett Hotel, as seen above.


We got there and found ourselves to be in a very long line, so I took a few photos of the area.


There's a pretty little fountain in here and squirrels in the tree, if you can find them.


This was the facade of the large gift shop. It was packed with people, so I didn't get much of a chance to even look through it.


And here we have the Alamo itself.


For the story of this place, I'm recommending the article here.


It's an imposing structure, though not as tall as I had imagined.


They had asked people not to take pictures inside out of respect, so I have no shots of the interior.

Manly Muffin Why-nots

I did something crazy today. I blame one of my favorite webcomics for it, actually, specifically, this page of it: The webcomic is Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. It spoofs the most masculine characters in video/computer games and popular culture and is very cleverly written/drawn. And I admit, I adore buff guys. It's all Rosslyn's fault for introducing me to it, but I don't mind. Rosslyn read this page over my shoulder Monday evening and echoed the little girl, saying, "Why not?" In doing so she and the Commander's daughter unwittingly named the project: Manly Muffin Why-nots. Disclaimer: Please forgive the following photos; they were taken in a dimly lit kitchen at night with an uncooperative camera. Also, please forgive the excessive recipe cheats. I am a poor college student on a very limited budget. Now, I got a small pack of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries (blueberries weren&#

Facial Cyst--OW

Image
It started small. I thought I was just getting a deeper pimple on my cheek just off my nose, and did my usual skincare routine. But then, this past week, it proved to be something different. I woke up to get ready to go to work. My face hurt and felt extremely hot, so I went to the bathroom and discovered what was really happening. (I apologize: none of the pictures are going to be flattering or pretty, but nothing graphic, don't worry.) My face had swollen up on that side and with the amount of pain I was in, I knew this had to be a cyst, not a simple zit. I called out sick and then went to work finding a local dermatologist ASAP. A few hours later I took another picture before heading in to my appointment. It had gotten worse, puffing up under my eye and everything. I was so grateful to be seen that very day. Once in the office, they did agree it was an inflamed cyst and gave me my options. Draining it in office was a bad idea since, by being inflamed, it was clearly infected and
