Dallasites have tons of places to dip their feet into and cool off during summer, but we're not talking about the sparkling pool at your Uptown condo. Well, this time.
The DMN recently put together a list of a dozen great Texas swimming holes, some of which aren't that far away and are well worth the day trip. That's Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve near Dripping Springs pictured above, and after taking in the scene, who wouldn't want be that guy leaping gloriously off a rock. In slow motion.
Especially if you're sitting in a chair at your desk. In your cubicle. And your boss just caught you playing Text Twist. And you can just taste the cold beer bottle on your lips and smell the grill cooking... and is that coconut suntan lotion?
For those Gleeksters dying for Fox's big and buzzy Glee to (finally) air this fall, EW.com's reporting that R&B singer Eve has been cast to play a two-epi role as the choir director or a rival school.
Eve was game after Whitney Houston reportedly told Fox "hell to the no." Well, those aren't her exact words, but let's just imagine. Kristin Chenowith and Josh Groban are also said to be dropping in for small parts...
After having been chided and ridiculed for never visiting this spot, I finally spent an evening at the BarBelmont in the OC's Belmont Hotel. And now I regret never having swung by sooner! As all the rest of you out there probably know, the interior of the bar has comfy sofas and chairs just begging you to sink into them. Candles scattered on the coffee tables give the room a warm glow. Outside, the patio boasts a superb view of the downtown Dallas skyline -- really breathtaking, and makes you ask, "wow, who knew Dallas had hills?"
But Tuesday night at BarBelmont is all about game night -- and what fun it was. After snarfing down some turkey and bison burgers, my group dug into word-nerdy games and sipped on wine and the half-price signature drink, the Belmontini. Delish! Would've been nice to sit on the patio with the killer view, but then again there was all that killer heat. Maybe next time ... there will be one!!

The fine people at Dallas' own Cufflinks.com gave us a heads up on their officially licensed Star Trek cufflinks, being released to coincide with next week's big screen relaunch. Set your phasers on stylish...

I can't spend all day browsing racks at the comic book shop like I used to. And that's only partly due to a restraining order. Between two jobs, a wife, a dog, and another wife in Canton that my Dallas wife doesn't know about, I simply don't have the free time that I used to. That's why I'm digging the iPhone and iPod Touch comic book applications that have been poppin' up as of late.
About a year ago, the iTunes App Store had a pretty paltry selection of titles. But in recent months, publishers and developers have activated their Wonder Twin powers to release a wide variety of comics with great art, well-written stories, and simple, intuitive controls. Here are a few of my favorites...
The four-issue comic book prequel provides readers with a ton of back-story for J.J. Abram's upcoming big screen Star Trek reboot. It also has one of the smoothest interfaces I've put thumbs to. The trade paperback collection hits shelves next week and lists for $17.99. But at 99 scrents-a-pop, iPhone and iPod Touch users can diggity-download each digital issue and have the whole thing in their pocket for less than five bucks.
