Blue Eye Brown Eye wants you to know who her Twitter Crushes are, including Chris Brogan; follow her on twitter? @laurenwsmith …. Richie Escovedo talks about his recent jury duty experience and how non-verbal communication plays a part in our judicial process …. then goes on to address how ChildFund is using a social media campaign to raise awareness of the NPO’s work helping poor children in Africa ….

Personal Blogs:

MLMCored has a list of unbelievable 911 callouts for your amusement …. The Roper Files has divulged that being a bachelor is not the run romp some peope believe …. and Super-Happy Misantthrope took his daughter to a Fort Worth Cats game last night, among other places, and reflects “having Elissa around gives me an outlet to be as weird as I want to be;” and yes, he does meet some aliens somewhere in there …. Emily reflects on the potential for meeting someone nice … someone you’d date … at Walmart on Saturday night; maybe we should introduce her to Roper Files …

The Economic Downturn:

Vee’s Blog writes about “today’s economic stimulus package” and coping with having no job in Fort worth… Frugal in Fort Worth has discovered that tonight is free admission night at Keller Point Water Park … starts at 5 p.m. Kevin lands a freelance gig on the Auston-American Statesman, breaking a four-month run of joblessness …

FORT WORTH REAL ESTATE BLOG has got a lineup of fine posts again this week … Death by Suburbia, about rootless “professional” families …. Looming foreclosures …. and Advice on refinancing.

Arts and Culture:

If all that is too depressing, there’s always the arts, in good times and bad:

Kids at the Amon Carter Museum’s summer program recently created an art project of found objects that’s on display, and the museum has two more summer storytimes to go …  Dallas photoworks has been looking at Carnivals, as have I … Eva-Marie has a quick post on FWISD alumni who participated, actually or dramatically, in the U.S. Space program ….the Log Cabin Village Blog is showing images of their new firepit which will allow them to do live demos of frontier cooking techniques ….and Fortworthology gives us a nice selection of Fort Worth glamour real estate shots (if there is such a thing) from Flickr.

Restaurants and Food:

If culture isn’t enough to stir up your desire to live, there’s always the food section:

AT FOOD AND FORT WORTH Francis recommends Papasitos for the best fajitas, and he also is taking a survey of Fort Worth’s best beer.

And that’s all for this week. I’ve got to get ready to go to that free swim deal in Keller.
