Vivo is a restaurant who's tag is Better than sex ....Tex Mex. And at their new North Austin location strictly enforcer 18 and over establishment, and it's not because of the bar.
The darkly lit new location boasts lots of booths, and dark corners that should make things a little harder. (ahem) They have 8 different varieties of margaritas, and food (and yes even healthy tofu and brown rice) that they claim to be "better than sex", which is debatable from reviews, but bet its better than sex after 8 different varieties of margaritas. Oh yeah, and then there's the tastefully erotic paintings on the walls.
Just throwing it out there now that your cover at Home Slice is blown.

Tonight on the Crazy Tree: "My Attendance is Bad But My Intentions Are Good"
Brooke Davis (TM)and Julian try to find a balance between their personal lives and work as the movie shoot begins. Julian actually in charge of something must throwing Brooke Davis(TM)into a spin, since in their relationship Julian barely able to talk to anyone who's not on her preapproved list. Nathan and the Real Housewives of Tree Hill Haley receive a surprise visit and it's not Prince wanting Haley's raspberry beret back but her mom, and Feats of Clay supports Quinn (yawn) as she faces some unexpected news. Alex sets her sights on Alexander. Schwann you're no Blake Edwards and this isn't even close to Victor Victoria. Now that might be more interesting. Milli finds herself struggling with temptation. Think Brooke Davis(TM) will help her friend out? Who has the time with being jealous, crying,saving Julian's film through her fashion, and reclaiming the cajoles he's grown back and crushing his will while doing something he loves, directing.

Come on wouldn't you like to see the picture from the visit inside Vivo.
But would Jake would be slouched down in his seat barely sitting up or them just all over each other?
"Goose has a family now". To me family implies more than one child but maybe I am reading too much into that. But for sure, Toothy and Goose have a child. Ted has made that abundantly clear.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer to stick with the name Baby Tile, which is what Ted uses. I've grown fond of that name.
but maybe I am reading too much into that
ReplyDelete^^ You ARE! Believe me, YOU ARE!
Ted has hinted more than a few times about a second baby. And I agree M, family to me sounds like more than one child.
ReplyDeleteOf course I use all kinds of ways to mention babies, from gosslings, tiny texans, to gyllensmalls, but all goes back to BT.
Oh, I didn't want to start a big debate. We were just throwing that idea around. LOL, I still like Junior.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what all the discussion was about the ads this morning; I can't say anything since I didn't see 3/4 of them. I was in & out of the rooms, doing laundry, playing with Curly, etc.
But I agree with whoever said there can be power in boycotting products, services, etc. Boycotting a particular TV show could be effective as far as advertisers but I would think that'd be a little harder.
Don't ever underestimate the power of the consumer. We all have it (in a good way, not in a bad way) by withholding or steering in a different direction. That's because it hits in the manufacturer's backpocket. And they can't have that.
Oh, and I like tiny Texans. That one killed me.
And a big LOL on the first picture post today. That's got to be my favorite candid pic.
Alright, I gotta go. I have to get some writing done.
"The more I read Ted the more encouraged I am, he seems to be pretty consistant with the message don't you all think ??"
ReplyDeleteTed is good with his consumers.
Ted has no reason to cater to a blog of a handful of posters. That statement is so weak it's not even funny.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, loved your comment on how could Brooke D. have enough time. LOL. Also agree with Quinn (yawn).
lol.
I want to like OTH. I want Austin's show to do well for him. I just can't get into it; must be me.
:(
I watch it PG, but I don't think OTH has been very good this year, and Austin hasn't had much to do. I do like Alex's character, and I like Robert Buckley, but it just feels a bit groundless, and the story lines seem even more unbelievable and/or less interesting than last year. Or maybe the novelty has just worn off for me. I keep watching though.
ReplyDeleteI still miss Hilarie Burton, and I do think her storyline, at least for me, made me want to watch and root for the character. Felt that way about Sophia and Brulian at first too, but they ruined that.
I like gosling(s). :)
ReplyDeleteLoved catching up w/ TeamAC2 riders today @mellowjohnnys. David, Art, Helen, Alex stopped by. Oh yeah, & Jake Gyllenhaal says hello too.

ReplyDeleteIt is way just too weird to announce something that has David's name in it when David is not celeb. Obviously they just couldn't use a friend's birthday because of even in Austin, they think it's Austin.
ReplyDeleteThe rumors must have been rampant about why Jake was in Austin if they had to make announcement through the paper.
Even more interesting its happens after a picture of him in Austin shows up on twitter.
Find it interesting that Jake either came days and days before the party or he's staying after the party, seems like David's party might not be the only reason he's in town.
It does have the feel of clean-up to it. Of course I'm sure that something like that just gives him an excuse/cover to be there.
ReplyDeleteOh the spin she is amazing !!
ReplyDeleteI am sure David had his birthday pary and but don't think that's the only reason Jake was in Austin. And bet that Austin wasn't in NC this weekend either. There but there are too many things popping up too close together. Makes you wonder when the picture of them on the ranch has been on there. Or if someone went looking on the ranch site to see if Austin was around in TX this weekend, and ran across it.
ReplyDeleteI looked on IMDB, Wiki and googled, can't find a birth date for him. Did you find a date Special?

ReplyDeleteKatherine McIver: Jenny just texted me that Jake Gyllenhaal's at Ruby's!
Fri at 8:29pm
Libby McIver: that's cool... there will uber-A-Listers at Emi's place on Tuesday, but it's not official so I won't gossip. (But we might get to find out once and for who's back together with who....hint hint)
I don't think we can trust that tweet. Barnes after all was the one who told us Jake was in town for ACL, and as we've been told ever since by numerous people, Jake was never there. ;)
ReplyDeleteJake at ACL
Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't know all the rumors, and called up someone to find out why he's there--or indeed Jake's pr put in a call after they realized they couldn't deny he's there.
You know what, I have a suggestion. To avoid getting mixed up between the person and the location let's call Austin the city, ATX. Just sayin.
ReplyDeletejoshcentral: I don't care what the reviews are like, I will be seeing Jake Gyllenhaal this summer in PRINCE OF PERSIA, with or without my pants.

Ok, Jake is in Austin Texas. So where is Austin Nichols? Where is Babytiles? Has anyone snapped a picture of he and Jake pushing the baby carriage thru town? Or is babytiles old enough to walk. Where are they? I need Pictures damit.
ReplyDeleteBabbler, are you allowed to discuss Austin on GB or do you have to pretend that Austin Nichols doesn't exist?

LOL, this is hilarious. Jake is 35 different places at once. That boy was busy, wasn't he??
ReplyDeleteHe's everywhere, he's everywhere!
lol.
I like Josh who said he will watch PoP with or without his pants. LOL, what in the heck is that supposed to mean?
No way Jake stayed in Austin, Texas as long as he has for a birthday party. I think Granny and Grandpop are gonna be watching BT while Daddy one and Daddy two are at work. Doesnt Jake have to go to Canada? If he is and Austin is in NC then BT may stay in Texas for a while.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Destiny F em stay the hell home .
We saw him over at Mellow Johnny's. Word is he's got some bike skillz. RT @ATXfoodnews: @SaraOsburn Where did u run into Gyllenhaal?

Here's a question.
ReplyDeleteIf Jake is out riding. Where did he get the bike? Did he just buy one for this weekend? Or does he keep a bike in Austin somewhere?
Rent a bike!!! That sighting was from earlier in the day, he was spotted at the airport via twitter.
ReplyDeleteStill doesn't answer the question. It has nothing to do with him heading home. And if you are really into cycling doubt you rent a bike.
ReplyDeleteWhy not??? Do you read Jake's mind now? Sounds like he was only there for the weekend, why not rent a bike and hang out at Lance's coffee joint at Mellow Johnnys?
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to be in another city for a long weekend doubt you'd lug your bike there. You'd rent one just like you would a car.
ReplyDeleteThe point you are avoiding is that he might a bike in Austin already.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like hasn't been to Austin more than one occasion, and remember in past trips he was seen shopping at cycle shops.
Rent a bike?! LOL I'm sure Lance Armstrong has more than 1 bike laying around. And Jake could keep a spare bike in whoever's garage. In my experience as soon as I get a newer bike with all the new bells and whistles I keep the old one as a spare at home for someone else to ride, or I leave it at a friend's house so I'll have a bike there. Jake's been thru a few bikes himself so who knows where they all are.
ReplyDeleteIf Jake rented a bike, anyone know from what shop? Because I want to buy that seat!
ReplyDeleteI've come here to cheer myself up! Olfactory, you may have helped get me there, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know OTH is trying to deal with real issues but I don't know how close they can come to realistically conveying a parent's impending loss to cancer. That's a pretty tall order to hit in 60 minutes. I still don't handle that subject very well and I was bawling before the show was even over and I've never even seen that character before, lol. Bess Armstrong. Remember her? Boy, this show brings back all the oldsters, doesn't it? Trapper John, Melrose Place, and now Bess Armstrong.
I loved that scene where Julian was trying to bring out the best in a scene from Alex. Why don't they get those 2 together?!!!!
I loved Alex's line: "I sleep with boys." LOL.
Curly follows me everywhere. He's sleeping down on the floor by my chair here in the dining room. I think he's snoring.
ReplyDeleteI was watching one of those emotional scenes on OTH with the mom and her daughters and right in the middle of it, I hear this "Riiiippppp!" and Curly is just yanking the heck out of his new toy, beheading it and stuffing all over the floor. I had to laugh. He mangled that thing.
One of the things that cracks me up is how quickly Babblers and trolls make up stories to support their theories about Jake. They don't wait for facts to emerge, they just make them up.
ReplyDeleteWere those cowboy boots Austin had on tonight???
ReplyDeleteHey - Curly's not an English bulldog. He's a bull terrier!! lol
He's a bull terrier!!
ReplyDeleteCurly sounds like he's more of a bull terrorier!
Awwww, he's really a softie. But here's his rules:
ReplyDelete1) don't let him near kids
2) If I have any family or friends over, hold onto him until I see how he's going to react to them
3) when I take him walking, if we come across another dog, I should maybe take him to the other side of the street.
lol. When I came over for the first time to meet him, Daddy held on to him and told me not to touch him. So you can't really touch his parents in front of him, at least when you first meet him. He'll see it as threatening.
He's very loving and he's very, very good. I just have to make sure everything is up out of his reach because he can tear things up if he wants to. And leave bathroom doors shut at all times! lol.
Lots of rules, huh? But really, so far, he's been one of my easiest charges ever. He's so good. He's definitely a bedhog, tho.
Wow, sounds like a tough "kid" you're watching PG. Hope Curly behaves while you're in charge.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about the double meaning of Alex's line about sleeping with boys. :-D :-D
Austin's story line was better tonight, but yeah, the rest of it left a lot to be desired.
I like Julian working the scene with Alex. I like him with his dad. Hey I even liked him with Jamie. But Julian with Brooke it just seems like they suck all the great parts out of him and turn it into the All about Brooke show. What was that line Alexander said to her, I was groaning it was so over the top about how great she is.
ReplyDeleteThe shirts are still out for Austin in this episode. Looks like someone was cooking and fed his man well over the holidays. Who loves to cook and is good at it too? It's too cute.
Curly, the name make me think of a dog spinning around the room whenever the Three Stooges come on.

ReplyDeleteIt's the Lakers Spurs game at the Staple Center right now, they are in the 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteJeanie Buss is a fangurl!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see who he's with.
ReplyDeleteSan Antonio Spurs. Austin doesn't have a team? So that means the Spurs are Austin's area team, right?
ReplyDeleteThey could be Austin's team.
ReplyDeleteAustin TX doesn't have any professional sports teams.
There are three NBA teams in Texas, The Spurs, Houston Rockets, and the Dallas Mavericks.
I'm at the Lakers-Spurs game to see what George looks like in clothes!
ReplyDeleteOTH was a bit better as respects Austin, but save me please from all those crying women. They average 3-5 per episode. It was great to see the 3 sister's mom. She was the mom on My So Called Life back when I had a crush on Jordan Catalano.
ReplyDelete"One of the things that cracks me up is how quickly Babblers and trolls make up stories to support their theories about Jake. They don't wait for facts to emerge, they just make them up."

Lakers Game - Jake and Chris!
ReplyDeleteMore Jake and Chris photos
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem like Jake is too excited or into the Cheerleaders. Maybe he is looking for a tiny blonde.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Jake with Chris.
Great to see Jake with Chris. At a Lakers game. Beats that cam k-well, you know what it beats.
ReplyDeleteHopefully IHJ will have some better pics later today.
Boy, Jakey throwing caution to the wind and flexing his pre-Reeke muscles again, isn't he?
How could any Reeke believer believe that thing was for real after seeing Jake this past month and a half? It's right in front of your face. Nothing else need be said.
The guy does love to freely advertise, though, doesn't he? Does he get a commission for that?
Everyone have a great day - I'm off!
Gotta work something out about this sleep thing with the Curlster. We need to work out an agreement.

ReplyDeleteThe 29-year-old, appearing in the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, is wearing a Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop hat, from cycling legend Lance Armstrong's store based in Austin, Texas.
So he was in TX with Chris for David's birthday. And see that he is advertising Lance's place.
ReplyDeleteHe looks kind of blah though.
Jake looks OK, too much partying in Austin, TX ;)
