well new orleans, you're one hell of a place. i only spent 4 months with you, during some of your darkest days, but you still made me love you. although i'm leaving, you'll always be a part of me, and i know that i'll be back someday.

you say you want some more pictures? it's a good thing i'm such a nice guy, or not only wouldn't you get any pictures, you'd get a spanking just for bothering me ( Read more... )

christmas was really fun. right now it's just me, fenny, claire, al, and louis on the block. it's strange (and kinda hectic) having so few people, but it made for a very laid-back christmas. we cooked up some delicious food, watched some movies, and decorated the tree. it was a very nice day off. but now i'm back to work, and a lot of work there is ( Read more... )

we've been doing the x-mas thang around here lately. two nights ago we wrapped around 100 presents, and then yesterday we had a toy giveaway at the health clinic. it went really well, and we gave toys to lots of cute kids. during the present wrapping, claire and andrea went nuts putting some hair product called "putty" into my hair and shaping it ( Read more... )

just a quick post to share with you a word whose existence i was just informed of by my friend Dave's away message:

so, tonight we went out to watch some Roller Derby action. the Big Easy Rollergirls put on an exhibition match. it was quite fun. for rachel's enlightenment, yes, there is a point to the game, rather than just girls hitting each other. i mean, that's a big part of roller derby, but there's a scoring system. each team has one "Jammer", which is the ( Read more... )

i'm going home in two weeks, so i'm starting to stockpile audiobooks for my drive back. having one for the drive down here made it go by so much faster (i listened to the last book in Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series). unfortunately, since i don't currently have access to P2P downloading, my options are limited to what is freely ( Read more... )

that last post was after Mama Dee's initial assault. she came back about a half hour later, and things only got worse. i kinda set her off by saying "i'm sorry, but there's no smoking in here." i tried to be polite about it, but i'm not gonna bend our rules just cause she's intimidating. and trust me, she's very intimidating. so she gets all up in ( Read more... )
