My last post was a misprint. My phone number is: 504.430.9915. Sorry.

Today is Good Friday. I'm not going to work. As a matter of fact, I won't be working all weekend. Sunday night is for StereoTotal. Monday night is for Future Islands. At some point I need to go grocery shopping. Today I am going to go trade some clothes, come back and watch some Netflix, and then probably get real drunk.

I want to go bicycling on the Audubon Golf Course tonight, if it isn't raining.

I want to open that costume shop and host a costume party every two weeks. During the downtime, I'll learn to pilot that hot air balloon. Then in the summer, I'll take you for a ride because I love you.

Brunch Success!

This week I was a bit under the weather. Thankfully, I'm feeling much better now.

Today for brunch I am making: eggs and biscuits and gravy and pork chops and southwestern hashbrowns and mimosas. You're invited.

This evening we are going to the wench auction at the Krew of Pirates Parade and then to some festival, I da know the name of it.

I lost my phone in Brooklyn last week before the flood. I had to get a new one. Two years with one phone is pretty good, huh? So now my new numbah is 504.430.9951. If I don't have your number, I probably won't answer the call. Leave a message.

I wanted to run, run after her in the night, even though it was day.


It's a little too warm today. Please, cool off until May.

I was late for work as usual. On my way, I spotted Jeff's car on the corner of Cadiz and Dryades. I stopped off to see his new home, and he made me a delicious cup of coffee. I want a french press too. After that, I rode my bicycle to the convent and spent about an hour pretending I had actual work to do. I made a few copies, punched a few holes :) type tap type- ya know. Then I rode to the bank and the grocery store. After a delicious lunch, I am going to clean my room and take a shower.  Tonight I am going to Mississippi to visit some friends and see The Watchmen.

I need new music. I love you people.

This morning feels like jumping on a trampoline.
I'm about to ride my bicycle to the Insectarium.

Weather like this is worth celebrating. I'm concerned with preserving the fun, nurturing the good times. Focus on the good grief.
Take it easy on yourself.

I miss Clearly Canadian Sparkling Water in glass bottles. I don't know what happened, but I wish I could find some. Sarahp gave me the series box set of Seinfeld, and nothing has ever made me so hap-hap-happy. Good goodness, I'm a total Seinfeld junkie.

In other good news, I finally attained a well-paying job. I am the new bookkeeper for Ursuline Convent and the Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. It is the oldest operating convent/catholic all-girls school in the United States. I have an office in the convent, and I manage the books and bank accounts for 12 nuns. They are so unbelievably cute. They pay ridiculously well. I only have to be there 15-25 hours a week, depending on how much accounting needs to be done (tax season, week of payroll, heavy donation intake, etc). I start in a week or so. I am very excited.

Tonight I am going to Mimi's in the Marigny with Big D and Todd Mathers. Tomorrow I am going to the circus. I'm spending most of the day wondering how I will pay my bills before I get paid.

I applied for a Marketing Assistant position with the Louisiana Children's Museum. I hope I get it because the other jobs I have applied for are incomparable. Right now we are at the Rue de la Course. Brad gave me a free iced cafe crema and allowed danielle and I to use his laptop while he works. I tried to send off for my birth certificate yesterday, but apparently Oklahoma requires some form of identification and a signed form to be faxed to Tennessee before it will process. This really made no sense to me, but I'll have to do it anyway if I want to obtain a non-driver's identification card in the state of Louisiana. Poop. Where can I get access to a fax machine? Is it a service at Kinko's? I guess I'll have to look into that tomorrow. I can't wait for us to get some internets in our house. We have to get jobs first though, I guess.

New Orleans is awesome. I think this is mostly because we live a block from St Charles which allows us to ride the street car almost anywhere. Also, the house is beautiful. I am more than a little lonely without sarahp and tim and and nikolas and coco and smiles and benjamin and dutch and stupid little daniel d, but hopefully it won't be too long before I see them all again.

where is my stimulus package?

i'm a phlegm-bot. i'm in need of a sewing needle, but danielle will be asleep for at least three more hours. there's a blunt roach in the living room which makes me regret turning in early yesterday. saturdays are the worst. i worked from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and i haven't decided yet if it's worth the money. but hooray for sunday! today is my only day off until christmas day. danielle and i are going to see the golden compass. also, i gotta stop off at rite aid and pick up a few chia herb gardens.

other things to do today:
-bust up a vcr and other random appliances, and fashion my findings into
miniature gadgets to attach to fabric-covered sheets of masonite.
-bake christmas cookies
-go grocery shopping

and i'm off!

my bicycle fixed
