So Fresh and So Clean Clean

An oft-overlooked benefit of short hair: The Shampoo Mohawk!

Once 7 years old, always 7 years old.

They hold no quarter.

Yesterday evening, I was sitting with my friend Katie, enjoying a beer or few at Molly’s. Everytime I’m in there, I discover something I had not yet seen before. As you can imagine, that’s alot of discoveries.
Anyways, I look at the jukebox, and specifically the note written on it:

No Quaters. Perfect. We pretty much say […]

PSA: Identity Theft

How many of you, through friendster/livejournal/myspace/etc. Fill out those quizzes/memes where you generate your “superhero name” by combining the street you grew up on and your nickname?
Ever think about what kind of information you are putting out there? Ever think about how the “security questions” on various websites (cell phone, home phone, cable, isp, bank, […]

The House that Peterbilt.

( NOLA )

I got an apartment.
It’s a ~1,000 sq. ft. 2 bedroom in the Marigny. Central A/H, washer/dryer inside (wheeee!), no storm damage, newly renovated, parking spot. $1200/mo.
Tomorrow I drop off rent/deposit, and can start moving in during the week. I took on a roommate - my friend Christy. She’s been in a ~250 sq. ft. efficiency […]

God Harp is in the T.V. Laptop

Just what I need, lemme tell ya. I have relied on my laptop so much over the past months, between being stuck in Texas, N.C., or couch surfing here in NOLA.
Saturday afternoon, I was sitting in my living room (Molly’s, at the end of the bar), getting some work done, and the guy next to […]

She loves a Circus

( Music and NOLA )

You know I have this thing for making up new words, and then bolding and trademarking the aforementioned word?
Well, tomorrow night at 10pm at One Eyed Jack’s (a mix of the Shim Sham and El Matador) on Toulouse, there is a Liquidrone/Bingo show.
Yes, that’s right, it’s a Bingodrone™ show at El Shamador™. It’ll be fun […]

New Citibank Ad Campaign.

( Amusing and Geekery )

April Winchell (one of my favorite, if sporadic, blogs) posted yesterday about her severe dislike of the Citibank “Live Richly” billboards (samples).
She decided to start up a contest with the best spoof. I decided to go ahead and make my own:

Now with 600% less hair.

So I did it on Wednesday. It was just time. No reason in particular. Just decided to do it.
And yes, it will be donated to Locks of Love.
Before:

After:

They’re not the best photos, but eh. You get the idea. Might post up a better one when my center part goes away more.
My friend Savannah did it. […]

Pinche Migra te esta esperando.

( Photos and NOLA )

My office is on Howard Ave., one block away from Lee Circle.
For those of you who don’t drive by, Lee Circle is day laborer central, as of late. Throngs of illegal Mexicans (and US Citizens, but far fewer) gather here in the morning for work.
About 30 minutes ago, there was a huge bust by ICE […]

Pi day
