• If I Were President

    Just for fun, here are all of my political views. I’m not super into politics at all – in fact before Bush started screwing everything up, I had zero interest in them. I definitely haven’t done enough research to have definitive stances on most of these things, so take them with a grain of salt.…

  • Casino Night

    “No tie.” I laugh. It’s the annual casino night at my college dorm. I’m dressed up more than usual – I’m wearing a blazer. Today it’s more function than form, though. The ticket taker isn’t laughing, though. “No tie.” I glance around. The cafeteria lady is watching us intently. A police officer is also watching.…

  • The Hospital Visit

    The Hospital Visit

    I was in the hospital a couple weeks ago. Not because I was sick. Nay – I’m a vegan superhero. I had the privelege of observing an actual surgery! I won’t go into details as to how this was arranged, but it’s one of those things that I’ve always wanted to see in person. Although…

  • Survival of the Fittest

    We wanted to go to yard sales to furnish our new dorm. We were going to be freshman at UT and we were determined to have a cool dorm room. The problem is that, like other freshmen, we were prone to sleeping late. Getting up at 6am was nigh impossible. The solution, of course, is…

  • Amazing Insignificant Events

    Twenty Seven thousand fans are packed into Red Rock, one of the best music venues in the world. The arena is carved from a mountain of giant red rocks. The sold out crowd is watching Ben Folds rock out on the piano. I emerge from a backstage hallway right next to the front of the…

  • A Book, A Blog, A Podcast

    First – let me get this out of the way : I fed a squirrel. I saw a bunch of squirrels so I went back to the RV and got some almonds. I put one in my hand and sat around forever, and finally a squirrel came and ate it. It was the cutest thing…

  • TynanTV Episode 1!

    I bet you didn’t know that I was going to have video posts. I didn’t either. Todd and I made some funny videos on the way up to Houston this weekend, so I figured I’d smoosh them in with the PRK video and make a little episode out of it. I plan on making more…

  • How to Live in Austin, Texas

    Yesterday I spent all day putting my new solar panel on the RV. Two weeks ago I got the panel in the mail and I called Crestview RV (a local RV place in Austin) to get it installed. They said it would be about $200, but that they were backed up and it would have…

  • Little May Updates

    I still live in the RV. People ask how long I’m going to stay here and honestly I don’t know. I love it so much that I don’t even want to leave. I DO want a solar panel, though, which gets installed thursday. That’s exciting. Did I already mention that I had 5 people over…

  • Climbing a Construction Crane

    Climbing a Construction Crane

    Oooh how the ladies love alliteration! Really all I want to do is write about living in the RV, but every day I would just write “man! this is great!”, so I’ll write about something else. Anyway, I have very little power in the RV at the moment… I have to run the generator which…
