I basically moved to Eunice yesterday -- just threw all my shit into the back seat (again!), and drove up here. There's really not much to do, but at least I'm not wasting as much time in bars as I used to. I applied for a job at about ten places yesterday, and have an appointment tomorrow to be advised for the fall semester. I'm going to try to ( Read more... )

I've been hanging out with Donnie lately, and am gradually losing whatever coolness quotient I thought I'd managed to accumulate in the last two years. He's slowly drawing out my inner geek. Tuesday, we met at Barnes and Noble before going to Housebroken with Andrea, and wandered around for about an hour, talking about cartoons, comic books, and ( Read more... )

When I got home from work after midnight Saturday, I started reading about Sykospark's Insta-Raver, Insta-Goth, and Insta-Rivet Kits. Mom came home drunk from her bartending job, and asked if I had tried some of her "Helpless Hamburger." She's a big fan of creative cooking -- mainly because she likes the convenience of throwing everything into one ( Read more... )

On Thursday and Friday, I went to Lake Charles with Aaron and Michelle as a stagehand for KC and the Sunshine Band, who were performing two shows at L'Auberge du Lac. It was a lot of fun, and I hope I get to do it again soon. The casino is huge (more than twenty stories high), and contains stores, restaurants, a gym, and a spa. We were supposed to ( Read more... )

I had another flat this morning. I have the worst fucking luck when it comes to tires! I just can't keep them on my car and full of air at the same time! I must've done something really awful in a past life to have accumulated such terrible "carma ( Read more... )

Sometime this morning, I dreamed that my roots were growing out, and they were all gray, and there was a tooth lodged in one of my nostrils. Maybe it was because of a story I heard on the radio Friday morning. A man somehow aspirated a nail while mowing the lawn more than thirty years ago, and doctors told him it would seal itself off inside his ( Read more... )

Another taillight, that is. I can't parallel park worth a fuck. I don't know why I still try. But enough about that ( Read more... )

Last night, I went to The Carmike to see Coachella, the concert film about the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The only thing I'd heard about it going in was the commercials Planet Radio has been airing for the last couple of weeks or so. One of the clips in the commercial was from Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)," which pretty much sold ( Read more... )

I had a car accident in Opelousas this morning. It had been a while since the last one, so another one was just about due. I had gone to Lafayette last night to return some stuff to various people, none of whom I could find, so after I got back from the mall, I had nothing to do. I called Gabie, and she asked me to go camping with her, Seph, Tori, ( Read more... )

Today I received an invitation to join the 2006 International Scholar Laureate Program Delegation on Anthropology and Archaeology in China. The twelve-day program includes lectures; tours of Beijing, Xi'an, and Chengdu; an archaeological excavation at the Yang Tomb of the Han Dynasty; and a hike along the Great Wall. There's no way I can afford the ( Read more... )
