well the silence has been golden actually. my new apt. is MUCH more compatible.
Also, across the street is a huge warehouse where a few of the mardi gras floats are being made.
Halloween was awesome. Frenchman st. in the Marigny was out of control. The streets were ass to crotches the entire night. I lost my group nearly 40 minutes into the night and thanks to the tendency for New Orleans streets to end and begin randomly at different locations i was unable to find them. I did however, run into some more friends and resumed the festivities. Amazingly, i didn't get my first drink until 1:30 am (i'll let you imagine what the bars were like to produce that result) however, new orleans doesn't go to sleep so there was plenty of time to play catch up...and i did...like van damme gettin his ass whooped for 30 minutes only to charge back and quadruple kick some gorilla sized asian to death.
there is no documentation of this.
The bad news was i was not able to take Burgess home with me since he is not built for 2. I had to abandon him in the marigny and take a cab which was probably best b/c when i started getting uneasy about the direction the cab was taking i started spouting directions that were 180 degrees wrong. God knows where me and Burgess would have ended up.
Then there is a funny story about how i returned for burgess and believed him to be stolen. He was not. I found him a couple weeks later. That story is not nearly as entertaining.
Thanksgiving was awesome. My roommates best friend came over with her boyfriend who is a chef at Vincent's on St. Charles...ever been? K well i had all the staples i was craving: green bean casserole, stuffing and cranberry sauce, "taters... what's taters?" and gravy, apple pie, carrot cake etc... Oh and i guess i shouldn't forget the 4 bottles of wine, bottle of jack, powers whiskey, baileys, and vodka and the 2 cases of beer. Yes there were 4 of us.
Work has been (as i knock feverishly on wood) really nice. My job is unbelievably easy and they pay me for it. Who knew.
Glad to see you all enjoying the holidays. I am hoping to get back that way sometime soon...maybe new years?? I am however carless, so i will likely take the train to atlanta which would require me employing a recon team to retrieve me from the atlanta jungle. I will have more or less information on that matter in the future.
Anyways i got the Secret of Nimh in the mail today so i'll be snuggling up and enjoying this fine piece of animation history. Excuse me, Mrs. Frisby needs my help.
