Slowly, Bea is coming over to the dark side. She likes Slayer, and thanks to Guitar Hero 2, the song Thunderhorse by Dethklok (you know, the fake cartoon death metal band that actually puts out really good metal).

While in the shower, I heard her whistling what I first thought was a track by Opeth. I pretty much wrote it off as her trying to ( Read more... )

I’m not one who is usually one for giving cards, much less getting them - thank yous, birthdays, etc.

I got one from Bea the other day, attached to a thin gift wrapped in brown paper. The outside of the card is your average run-of-the-mill thank you card (thankfully glitter-free), but it’s the inside of the card that made me laugh:

I know this is another non-post, but I think I get a little slack as it was a wedding weekend, and I officiated.

Today was an almost complete veg day. We watched some T2 while getting ready to check out from the hotel this morning, and managed to snag our first Mississippi geocaches on our way back home. I even managed to update the map on my ( Read more... )

Today has been apeshit crazy, and it’s only noon. Besides the usual tidying/dog walking/plant watering I tend to do in the morning before work, I had to rush out some code for a project and get a braketag.

Except, it never seems to be that easy. I’ve been having issues with my reverse lights lately. It seems they work fine right between when the ( Read more... )

I always knew there was something different about Michael Phelps.

For those of you who know what /b/ or 4chan is, you know that it tends to be the absolute dregs of the internet. We’re talking the depths of the Marianas Trench bad. I’d link, but if you really want to check it out on your own, you have to find it - and it won’t be hard.

Oddly enough, it’s also the birthplace of LOLcats. Go figure.

Forwarded to me by Dustin, too good not to pass along:

1. Every time they mention hurricane Katrina, drink 1
2. If they show pictures of the City of New Orleans right after Katrina, drink 1
3. Every time they say how much the Saints mean to the City of New Orleans , drink 1
4. Every time the words “tragedy”, “flood”, or “ ( Read more... )

My old landlord Louis Maistros directed me to this video on Mr. Okra - a man I dare say is a New Orleans institution.

Well, maybe not New Orleans, but definitely a Quarter / Marigny / Bywater / 9th Ward institution. He’s like the ice cream man, but nowhere near as annoying or tooth-rotting. I love hearing him drive around the area, selling fresh ( Read more... )

*phew* Red Dress week is over! It’s been a long week, and as much fun as it’s been, I’m glad it’s over.

For me, it started on Thursday. The VooDoo hosted a Red Dress Run, hared/led by myself and Fill Me Up (fellow VooDooer) through the Marigny. It was really more of a crawl, but still fun - about 50 people showed up - much more than our usual of ( Read more... )
