  • If you like Museums:

    • Museum of Fine Arts (1001 Bissonnet St)
    • Houston Museum of Natural Science (5555 Hermann Park Dr)
    • The Menil (1533 Sul Ross St)

    Space Center Houston (the tourist wing of NASA’s Johnson Space Center) is a great place to visit.

    If you like big spectacle places, see if you can take a tour of Minute Maid Park (Astros baseball stadium) or NRG Stadium (Texans football stadium).

    If you enjoy live theater, options include:

    • The Hobby Center (800 Bagby St)
    • The Alley Theater (615 Texas Ave)
    • Stages (800 Rosine St)

    If you think you’ll have the appetite for it, there are lots of good dining options at every price point from a wide variety of culinary traditions. Try some bbq (if you’re from Saudi there are at least some halal bbq options, we have a pretty sizeable halal crowd). Try some Texmex restaurants. Try a pho restaurant. Try a taco truck.

    Take a tour of the Hermann Park Zoo (6200 Hermann Park Dr). It’s a big damn zoo with a lot to see. You could also head down to Galveston and visit the Moody Gardens (1 Hope Blvd in Galveston). They have a giant rainforest pyramid and a giant aquarium pyramid. There are a lot of good dining options in Galveston but I don’t know offhand whether any of them are explicitly halal.

    Good luck with your visit. The Texas Medical Center has some of the best medical care in the world. I hope you kick cancer’s ass.


  • Lemmy for scratching the reddit itch

    Facebook (by way of a disabled account) for archiving pictures of now-deceased family members

    Discord, if it counts as social media, for tracking guilds for a game I used to be addicted to, also servers for subreddits I used to frequent & servers maintained by some of the fanfiction authors I follow















  • I once drove drunk. This was long enough ago the statute of limitations has expired. I shouldn’t have done it, I was really lucky that I didn’t hurt someone or get arrested. For the next 15ish years that I still drank, my limit was 1 drink if I was driving.

    This was before Uber & Lyft were a thing, but I still could’ve made arrangements with the bar manager “look dude your bartenders kept serving me when I was visibly drunk, so let me leave my car here overnight without towing it so I can take a cab home, and I won’t say shit to anyone.”
