  • last day

    i amy have eaten a river rat I had wanted to go to Cafe Du Monde for cafe au lait and beignets.  The line was around the corner.  We parked and walked until we found Cafe Beignet.  That was good enough for us.  I liked them a lot.  Beignets taste a lot like funnel cakes. …

  • quick one

    we were all feeling a bit grimy I woke up feeling a little worn and tattered.  We quickly went to eat at the Court of Two Sisters, where we had a wonderful brunch and sat in the shade and listened to jazz music.  I started to feel a bit more like myself.  We did more…

  • welcome to new orleans

    welcome to new orleans

    my initial impressions We got into New Orleans late last night.  The plane was late getting out of Houston because they had “cargo on board that had to remain in Houston.”  I shouted out to the plane, “Okay, who brought the drugs?” but no one answered.  I calculated that staying on the ground for an…

  • hypothetically speaking

    but i’m still taking my pills I was driving home from work yesterday when I saw a man in the far right lane of the highway riding a motorcycle without a helmet talking on his cell phone.  It made me laugh.  I guess I laughed because I initially thought, “How dangerous is that?” and then…

    finding your hometown In preparation for New Orleans, last night I started (re)reading Interview With the Vampire.  I’ve tried to read this book about three times, but right now I’m out of books, so I’m starting on this one again.

  • i’m tired

    and xeney tried to start some shit I am so tired.  This whole week every day I get up I’m just a little more tired.  Last night was long– after work I went straight to rehearsal and then we had a performance.  I hadn’t eaten, and I was really tired and mopey.  The place where…

  • daddy?

    living with eric’s new alias Eric’s new thing is to call himself “Daddy.”  He doesn’t say it in that “Who’s your daddy” sort of way with a slap on my hip or anything.  He just uses it in casual conversation. It started with a “It hurts Daddy when you say that,” which came from Dr.…
