Brian and I are driving home from St. Louis tomorrow.  If all goes well, we should be back around 6 or 7-ish.

 Kim, Brian, and I were watching CNN yesterday afternoon.  The storm had passed, but I wasn't exactly relaxed because of that whole storm passing and levees failing hours later thing that has happened before.  There was a commercial break, and then Wolf Blitzer came back on and said, "It's happening now.  The levees of New Orleans are..."  And here ( Read more... )

My friend Brian, Townes (the cat), and I are in St. Louis where I will live on cigarettes and Jameson for a couple of days.

 Luckily, the Internet will be working after the Rapture, so you can still provide your friends and loved ones with crucial information about how to save themselves even after you've ascended to heaven.  Six days after to be exact.  And for only $40 a year.

I am (perhaps futilely) looking for an apartment in the Marigny (the Quarter or Esplanade near the Quarter would be fine too).  I would need something around $700 that will allow one cat.  If you see or hear anything, let me know.  The crazies in my building are starting to threaten my own sanity.

 Luckily, it's new and exciting every year since I can never remember much of what happened the year before.

Come to parades at Toledano & St. Charles (not tonight, but you know, when there are parades).

You are encourage to bring any of the following items: toilet paper, beer, whiskey, food, bottles of liquor with venomous snakes inside.

I quit smoking at 10:30 pm on Friday, August 31.  Unlike previous attempts, I haven't cheated at all.  I also haven't been out much.  I'm currently having a glass of whiskey and thinking about how nice it would be to have a cigarette to go along with it.  I'm also thinking about shaving my cat (that's not just the whiskey talking; it would have the ( Read more... )

It appears I have entered a new phase of my life, one that makes me think I'm getting old.  I am now, much to my dismay, an early riser.  For the past few weeks I have been voluntarily getting up before 9:00 am.  It is only 8 right now, and I have already made a trip to the A&P up the street.  Oh, god, what is happening?  I am hoping this is just a ( Read more... )

I got the job offer today!  I will be the Development Assistant at the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
