The Gras that is Lundi

I just got home, and Lundi Gras is over. I’m going to get a few hours of sleep, and head over to hris’ house in two hours to get ready to roll for mardi grad. Goddamn. What a great town.

May the Grand Duke Alexis ride a buffalo in Texas

The other day, I recieved a rather large envelope in the mail. The contents? An invitation to the Rex Ball. Unfortunately, our krewe rambles that day, and will most likely be too inebriated or perhaps unconscious for the 8pm white tie event. I don’t even have a tuxedo t-shirt. Maybe next year. Watercolor Float Designs… Continue reading May the Grand Duke Alexis ride a buffalo in Texas

Now where did I leave that damn Triforce?

Wow. The Legend of Zelda turned 20 today. Happy Birthday, Link. I remember when I first played this game in all it’s shiny, golden, catridge-based console glory. I mean, it was fucking gold! Gold, I tells ya! Hell, I was playing it at the R-Bar last night, waiting for the coverage of the Tour de… Continue reading Now where did I leave that damn Triforce?

As the Reflection Slowly Fades

Before Dave and Belen NOLA, they gave me an offshoot of one of their oregano plants. What seems like an eternity ago, I fed and watered their plants and cats while they vacationed in Turkey. Belen came home, looked at her vegeation on the balconey, and proceeded to make loud noises. Her oregano plant had… Continue reading As the Reflection Slowly Fades

We will speak as men do.

Well, Cassady‘s bachelor party was tonight. That’s all I’m really at liberty to say. Goodnight.

Pititis, Te Invoco.

I just looked at my paycheck stub today – was smaller than usual. Odd. Glancing over it, I realized that it’s been over a year here of full-time employment, and my 401(k) kicked in. I decided to go with $250/check ($6,000/year) in a more aggressive fund/plan with a partial match by my company. Hooray for… Continue reading Pititis, Te Invoco.

See Rules #58, #88, and #99.

Have a Trueâ„¢ Valentines Day, bitches.

With Western Eyes

Okay, wish me luck. I’m heading to Texas today for a personal/business trip. The last time I left for a couple of days for business/personal trip to Texas, a hurricane hit New Orleans. Oh, and I have that whole traffic court thing tomorrow for a 95 in a 70. Let’s hope they don’t hit me… Continue reading With Western Eyes

They will like us when we win.

I recently watched an episode of The West Wing (Sesaon 3 Episode 14: Night Five), and I thought that the dialogue between Toby and his ex-wife Andy were somewhat appropriate in regards to this whole illustrations of Mohammed uproar. ANDY: America doesn’t have a monopoly on what’s right. And even if we did, I think… Continue reading They will like us when we win.
