Here be monsters- A phrase that translates going into the unknown. Nebulous, unexplored waters where you will undoubtedly come across some unholy hybrid of sea monster. Think large scale platypus drooling blood with gnarly fangs, not-so-beaver like tail and an axe to grind.
The perfect metaphor for moving from Chicago to Austin.
Texas is still uncharted territory, but I have yet to see Nessie terrorizing the kayaks in Town Lake or murderous sea beavers at Barton Springs...On the contrary- Austin is like the cartoon cast of Monsters Inc during Happy Hour; slightly buzzed, freaky looking and content.
I'll admit part of me wants to shout, 'LET'S DO THIS YA'LL', don a pirate outfit, earth shoes and join the party.
Until the internal Yankee puts her high-heeled foot down and says no f#@king way. A definite study in contrasts- it's like having my own version of Maude and The Dude in my head...
