HTX Happy Hour is on Twitter!

So lately I've been busy with my new little Twitter venture. I figured I pretty much used my personal account just to tweet about the amazing happy hour specials I would come across (i.e. $1 martini Wednesdays, $1 reuben slider Mondays, etc).  I searched for one a few weeks ago and since I didn't come across one, I took matters into my own hands. So I introduce to you HTX Happy Hour on Twitter.

On it you will find photos, menu uploads, reviews and cheap daily deals from restaurants and watering holes around Houston.

I'm learning so much about so many deals around town, I had no idea Onion Creek in the Heights had Dutch beer Tuesdays where Heineken and Amstel are $2!

Here are a few menu's I've collected so far.

I think doing the research (tasting) may be the best part.

this tumbler is killling meeeee (thanks nora!)

Artist Crush

Her name is Yiying Lu and how cute is she?!

She's the artist responsible for the Twitter "fail whale"... something I learned about just this morning. I heard the term while listening to the radio, googled it and discovered "When Twitter experiences an outage, users see the "fail whale" error message image created by Yiying Lu,an illustration of red birds using a net to hoist a whale from the ocean along with the text "Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again."

But what an adorable way to deliver bad news!
I instantly fell in love with her origami animals.

Below are a few more images from her site. You can even buy them in greeting card form! I want to get a few and frame them. I love the bright colors and especially the teal/orange combo.

Inspired! I want to stitch her little owl!

oooohhhh exciting!

BIG GOOGLE MAPZ!

i have an addiction, sir.

Just purchased from this site.

You know... It could be way worse. I could be addicted to meth. (but I'm not...so I'll reward myself by buying fabric online...)

look out, work.

I found a little flash game online that's a massive time vampire. It's called Chat Noir, and it sort of reminds me of the game I play with Fuzz and Dixie every time someone goes out the front door.. they're always trying to escape! (I don't know why... the house is warm and has lots of food and water.)

Its quite simple, but a little challenging. Each time you hit a circle, the cat jumps to another one, and will eventually jump off the pad ( you lose). If you choose the right circles, you form little barriers and block him in! ( you win!).

Sigh. Little pleasures on a Thursday.
VICTORY!!!!
