My friend

We are the champions. Well not quite. Our tournament isnt until the 22nd of July, BUT we got our first regular season win tonight. Once again it was a brutal point for point game. Their stacking system for creating teams is remarkable efficient. We have yet to have a game (at least for us) that was more than 2pts spread. We play to 15 and each score is 1. We generally play for 2 hours so it's pretty rigorous.

Anyways we effin got the Dubya and it feels so nice.

Wound updates: Uncle Flow made another appearance tonight. A couple teammates expressed their jealousy at my having such a handsome strawberry that i get to show off every week with the crimson rivers running down my leg. Also, unrelated to ultimate, i bruised a rib. Unremarkable story attached to that injury, but this shit freaking HURTS. It's not a terribly bad one, but i can't take deep breaths or yell without it feeling like someone is jamming a broom handle into my rib cage.

Also FYI I am an otter.

That is all.

Glorious Food

Well i finally got my claws into some good ole farmers market grub. I got the tip from one of my ultimate league players as we got hammered after 4 hours of midseason ultimate play previously mentioned. They had everything. My fave picks were A) the dairy: the creamiest milk and butter i've ever had the joy of clenching in my cheeks B) general produce: HUGE peppers (3 for 1$ greens and 3 for 2$ reddies muy loco!), squash, zucchini, egglplants, okra etc... and C) SEAFOOD! shrimp for ::drumroll:: 2 bucks a pound. i regrettably had run out of cash by the time i got to the seafood table, but i'll be back on saturday. they run it on tuesday and saturday both within biking distance...le sigh. :D They even had worms for starting your own compost and crepes made to order. I'll probably take some pics next time of the local "color" that comes out at 8 am to the market.

Also, tomorrow begins the second half of our ultimate season. Despite the midseason tourney blowout our team has done very poorly in the regular season. Tomorrow with your good wishes and my new wristbands our team will let loose an ass kicking worthy of a LA rioter's nod of approval.

Uncle Flow,

Week two of my strawberry. I reopened this little nasty two more times during this weeks play. I decided to give it a name since it will apparently be hanging around for the duration of the summer league. On a positive note my team won the middle season tournament last night. We were all firing on all pistons and make huge defensive and offensive plays. It got pretty ridiculous as basically every other play involved at least one of our team fully laid out flying through the air to either bat away or snag a disc. Much fun...and then the whole tournament group biked over to kingpin and got drunk. Tra lala.

Today im enjoying 1) healthy relaxing bowel movements 2) mango,strawberry, and banana smoothies 3) reading in the sun. No special order.

Effin Hot

Well it's basically full blown summer down here. It feels like someone greets you at the door with a 30lb wool blanket everytime you step outside. I love it. Basically every pair of pants i own is gradually being assimilated into my growing shorts collection.

Weird point of note: ALL bars in new orleans have hookahs. I didn't believe this when i heard it, but the more i look around the more i see them popping up in every establishment i go to. Goth bars, Dive bars, Trendy bars, Sports bars...it makes no sense yet i freaking love it. I bought some new attachments for my own hookah. It looks like smokey sex now. Believe me i've thought twice about it.

Speaking of bars my new fave joints are in no particular order: Attiki bar and grill (still), The Saint (cool dog friendly dive), The Balcony Bar (cheap sleazy food and pool with an awesome jukebox), and Mrs Mae's (i have no description for this 24hr joint).

I'm still digging my job. I have emailed Dov Charney about a possible American Apparel in athens. He said they are working diligently to get the stores in the atlanta and savannah (yes savannah) area stabilized then they are hoping to bring one to athens. So be on the lookout for pictures of models barely wearing our clothes in the sometime probably far off future.

Here is a quick reel of June events. Sorry about the blurriness of the Audobon Park pics but i was on my bike taking shots just to see how that worked out for me.

Much Love to all my athenians especially the ones that are a year older. Also, equal congratulations to both of the leggetts on remembering the day that they began filing joint tax returns. Hooray :D



I was interested in living with other people when i came here b/c i thought it would be a good way to meet folks, but this city has been very inviting. Meeting people of similar interests is a lot easier than i thought. I look forward to moving out on my own probably in the winter when the lease here is up. I just miss being on my ownsome lonesome.

you're a daisy if you do...

For any animation/action/blacksploitation fans out there holla at cha boi!! Where 'yat!?

Link was busted. All better.

NKOTB

Yesterday was my first regular season game of the ultimate league im in. I'm on the yellow team, aka lynsey's latin lovers, aka pot o' gold. We lost a heartbreaker 15-14. However we went point for point with arguably the best team in the league. Our biggest hurdles were not having enough subs. The other team had a pretty fresh squad on the field at all times while we huffed and puffed. The other problem was inexperience...namely my inexperience. I was able to score a couple times but i also got burned a few times. I left some epidermis from my elbow and knees on the grass as my marks of shame. My team got a lot of enjoyment from me laying out so much though.

Afterwards, i was instructed to head to the kingpin which was thankfully a bike ride from my house. There i found out what the players do after dehydrating themselves from rigorous activity. They get shitty. Apparently there are 2 bars very friendly to the ultimate crowd and this was one of them. They set aside a keg for the players and first come first served...free beer.

SO...today i hurt. My head, my queezy stomach, my aching legs and open wounds. So today i laid low, made some kick ass barberitos guacamole, and watched "History Boys". It was .. interesting, but worth the watch.

I also got a call from Geoff. It seems the hamburger touchdown has landed. Virginia Calliope Carr was born yesterday after 17 hours of labor. I hope to landing in Georgia either for the 4th and all the celebrations therein or perhaps the weekend or 2 after that. My banking is all kinds of screwed up since the closest wachovia is in mississippi and the checks my company issues are bank of america which ALSO has no branches in New orleans. Its very tangled.

Anyways, from one NKOTB to another NKOTB, we got the right stuff, little miss carr.
