Since last night's post my house has become a shelter for several family members evacuating from Laplace and Reserve. St John Parish is under a mandatory evacuation, but still there are lots of family that stayed behind.

Right now there are grandparents, great aunt and uncle, and second cousins here. I joked about numbering rooms in our house so ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't think the storm was going to scare me, but it ended up doing that. I've since moved to Mobile in an attempt to displace myself from the worst of it. It was sooth sailing on the interstate from Baton Rouge to about Mandeville, and then there was just traffic traffic traffic. Luckily, I'm familiar with Mississippi roads and I got off ( Read more... )

Lord, I haven't updated in a while (as usual) so I'll have to break this post down into various headings:

Band Results

YES, I am still a member of the LSU Tiger Marching Band, but several others can not consider themselves so lucky. With a total of 425 showing up to preseason and the annual number of bandsmen limited to 325, 100 had to be cut. It was ( Read more... )

Mmmm, nothing like putting a 40-lb instrument on your left shoulder and letting it bruise you to the point you can't feel it anymore. So exciting. It's going to hurt even more tomorrow, and then it'll start to get better ( Read more... )

First, a recap of the weekend,

Friday: Last day working for LTRC/DOTD. I enjoyed my stay, but there are bigger things on the horizon. There was some kind of party hosted by a tuba player (a keg was involved). It was sorta a bummer because only three other tubas showed up and then lots of other people we didn't know but were apparently our host's ( Read more... )

On this fine morning in the year of our Lord 2008, may I just say that Gray Goose may make you loose, but Taaka and Red Bull will get you f*&ked up....it don't rhyme, but who cares???

Happy 1 month anniversary of me being 21...to me!

I'm a horrible person about not updating...it's sad.

Here are some recent additions to my life:

• Alcohol, including: Shiner, Abita, Blue Moon...and other delicious beers, Corona + Vodka (tried it at the Flora-bama last weekend, the Corona pretty much masks the vodka taste)
  
• Full Tilt Poker...go to fulltiltpoker.com now and download the program and waste ( Read more... )

Weekend, for me, started on Friday afternoon as I left work three hours early to head to New Orleans CBD. I met up with my family at the Hilton (my step-mom got the room with her glorious comps, Harrah's apparently can overflow into the Hilton...who knew?). More of my family (grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins) met us down there and we ate at ( Read more... )

Again, haven't updated in quite a while. Let's see, well I'm finally the big 2-1!!! Yes, a little over a year since I could legally drink whilst in London, I can now legally drink in the US of A. I celebrated modestly by going to Rotolo's and getting a pitcher, then there was some cake and drink shared at my apt afterwards. Yall people that were ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a while. I guess I haven't had much time because I've been going somewhere every weekend (I usually update on Sundays you see). I went to NOLA one weekend and had all kinds of streetcar fun with Shelbx, Lyz, and Meredith. Then I went to the beach the next weekend...stayed an extra day for a dentist appt in Mob-town. Went to see ( Read more... )
