Tab: The All-Occasion Beverage

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

Justine here. This is but the first in my upcoming series of ongoing obsessions. My love affair with Tab The All-Occasion Beverage began somewhere back in the mid-70s when I was put on my first diet. It’s sweet, vaguely orangey nectar filled my sugar-deprived, slightly starved childhood soul with sacchariney goodness and the promise of [...]

Do I REALLY need my hair?

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

Justine here. A little slow jam for the ladeeeez….. aw yeeah. Shortly after moving to Houston I noticed that I was having extreme difficulty in combing my hair. I’m not talking about a little snarl here people– I’m talking about full-on rasta mini-dreadlocks at the back of my head. I’m talking about trying to comb [...]

I’ve found my new favorite bourbon. It’s called Jefferson Reserve and it’s 90 proof and aged 12-17 years. It’s a small batch (only 2,400 bottles). Smoooooth. -Dave

Real estate prices…

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

Want to know what the homes in your neighborhood are worth? www.zillow.com You can look at a birds-eye view of your street and see all the prices floating in the air above the house. This is pretty cool Ajax technology combined with some fancy google-like mapping wizardry. The site uses the tax assessment value of [...]

Knitta, please!

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

Justine and I saw an odd sign near a Belgian restaurant we like just off of Montrose & Westheimer several months ago. The sign said “Knitting, please” and then listed a web address (see photo above). The Houston Press and the Houston Chronicle have just written stories about this group of knitting graffiti artists. www.knittaplease.com [...]

Roses of Muhammad – Iran’s freedom fries

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

In a motion of unparalleled flattery to the United States, Iran has renamed the danish pastry to “roses of Muhammad” in protest of the Danish cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad. I think this is Iran’s way of saying “America, we like the way you handled those pesky Frenchmen by renaming your french fries. We shall [...]

Cheney – the hunter

Posted by: Above The Aether In: Uncategorized

I don’t think it’s much of a story that our Vice President shot someone while hunting. That sort of thing happens all the time in the south (especially in Bourbon Season). Although I do think it was inappropriate for him to skin and mount the poor man over his mantle. That was really pushing the [...]
