Best of the Austin Blogs: Week of July 31

Our favorite local posts for this week:

• Jette's pal saw Tarantino at the Paramount's Howard Hawks double feature this week. We would have been on the Ameche to our pals if we had seen him at the showing of Ball of Fire.
  
• Over at sheep diaries, the term "Shyamalaned" is defined and put to use in a rant on Lady in the Water.
  
• As we looked at bigYELLOWbowl, we wondered: does this place make veggie frito pie?
  
• Stinkydog had a time picking up a package from the post office.
  
• We hope our iPod never gives us a sad icon, but if it does, we'll try the Dinan Creative solution.
