Personal Bloggers

The personal bloggers won the day this time with a variety of entries …. Kristen writes a post about expectations and realities and wrapping up her 9 year career in school PR. Writing of this caliber doesn’t usually appear on a blog … Kevin reflects on the girl who got away in a post called “ten years ago this weekend” … Emily sleeps with three remotes in her bed … Vee explains that yes, Virginia is her real name …

Surviving the Summer in Style:

Frugal in Fort Worth has a nice calendar of frugal events for this weekend …Kevin at Forthworthology has a list of things to do this weekend that lean more toward the clubbing angle and also notes that La Nouvelle Vague Film Festival runs through Sunday … Vee has given up Blockbuster for Redbox and she tells you how … and Francis has given us top ten activities to try during a heat wave

Arts and Culture

Lauren at Blue Eye Brown Eye visited the Nasher Sculpture Center, and she also filled me in that the name of her blog comes from the two different eyes of her dog … Roy Rivera has some interesting potraits up at his site, including a very young baseball slugger …. Dallas Photoworks is showing off an image that was commissioned by A-W Distributors for their official postcard of the new $1billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas …. Austin notes that the Cattle Raiser’s Museum is moving from Sundance Square to the Museum District next to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame … and that the Ringling Brothers Circus is in town through Sunday …

Politics

East Fort Worth dentist Dr. Kenneth Pruitt has an ax to grind with Blue Cross Blue Shield, our local health insurance monopoly … Austin has a quick report on the Fort Worth Neighborhood awards for this year; apparently Ryan Place was the winner …

Social Media

It’s hard to change your relationship status on FaceBook, reflects Suzette (at least I think that’s her name) … as she goes from “single” to “in a relationship” she’ll probably have to give up a couple of her admirers ….

Let’s Not Forget Food

Francis has been to KFC for their new grilled chicken… and he says it was good, very good.  He did not use the words finger-lickin but you’ll get the point … Fort Worth Hole in the Wall visits the Tokyo Café … you’ll need to wade through the part about  football and the Aggie’s sketchy prospects but then yes, there is a review of the sushi and dumplings in there …

And finally, a parting image from Technology:

Dave at The Ranch offers us an image of the Worlds Largest Ipod.
