1st night

i am staying at a european style hotel off of esplanade. it's my first night in nola, but technically im still looking for a place. i went by my new job today and got the tour and met everyone. it's a really nice bunch of people and my job will be super easy.

tonight im supposed to go meet some potential roomies and feel things out. they seem really cool over the phone and i havent really watched my p's or q's during email or phone chats with them so thats a good sign. I REALLY want to get into this cool 4 plex off of napoleon ave. In exchange for collecting tenants rents, keeping track of vacancies and supervising the maintenance guys i get a 1 bdrm suite for 275. it has off street parking and all appliances. plus the neighborhood is really nice and it's close to all kinds of shopping. PLEASE.

the people that run this little hotel im staying at are really cool too. they are a 4oish really hip couple that lost everything in the hurricane and are starting over at this place. they took me out for sushi and beer when i got here and then i drove them to a local spot called the "green project". its basically a recycling center for building materials...tile, doors, wood, electrical, plumbing, etc... it also has found and donated art work. its a really cool little business im sure i'll be visiting again soon.

the weather is awesome right now. strong cool breeze and saturated humidity. i constantly have that film of sweat that feels like i just stepped out of a swimming pool....and i fucking love it. also of note earthlink has sponsored free wireless internet in this city. so right now im comfortably sitting and typing underneath the wireless bubble here that is free for "citizens". shwing.

I might be ammending this later with tales of the night life or perhaps an update on my residency. For now im going to sit out on the balcony, read and enjoy my new city.

peace and chicken grease.

that is all. back to your regularly scheduled humidity.
