Rain? Rain! Seriously, who the hell asked for rain on Day 1? SXSW 2009 is my fourth. My routine is usually going in late afternoon to pickup my badge and seeing one movie. Then it's off to work I go. That's a Day 1 for me. With all things here in central Texas being wet and cold, attending Day 1 ain't looking to good for me.
You'll know if I decide to go today.

What a crap day it is. I was going to drive up to Austin to see the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls. However, when I walked out of work Sunday morning, it was all wet and lightly drizzling. The drive home was only reminding that I would be driving in this stuff later on in the day. I got home and checked the weather online. Hmm, Austin live doppler radars really weren't showing any rain fall. I turn on the Weather Channel. Their radar did show a small amount of scattered rain fall across central Texas with it moving north, towards Austin. Hmm, maybe by the time I woke up, it wouldn't be so bad. I made my rounds on the Internet, mainly checking out music blogs. I also wolfed down some left over taco meat and spicy beans. This would come back to haunt me. I get out my camera, formated the memory card and threw the battery into the charger. I'm really starting to look forward to Sunday night. I shower, set the alarms and then jump into bed.
At some point I'm suddenly awaken to some flaming throw up in my mouth. I mean this stuff has me leaping out of bed. It feels like lava has been poured down my throat. Thankfully, I keep a bottle of water in the room at all times. I guzzle down a few swigs and put the fire out. I take a look at the clocks and notice it's still a hour or so 'til I was gonna get up. After calming down, I decide I'm not going to Austin. With the weather and now this, I feeling crappy again. Oh well, I can just go ahead and catch up on some much needed sleep instead.
After another five hours of so, I finally force myself out of bed. Ow! My neck is killing me. I mean, the pain is all around my neck. I've been giving my neck a few small snaps, but the soreness is still there. I take in some much need food, watch the Cowboys give it away to the Saints. I watch this past Friday's Doctor Who and move onto doing some laundry and then here I am now, typing this all out.
It's time to start planing my Monday to look like a fun day.
