Early arrival. And by early I mean 6am. I wandered around the quarter a while, had cafe au lait and beignettes at the Cafe du Monde, met a kid with a mohawk who goes by the improbable moniker, "Boog" and his dog Barney (ginormous Boxer), checked in early, took a shower and am typing away.
Oh. And I forgot the fucking coffee. =(
I am here. I am egregiously early, but I am here. :)
so. Cafe du Monde? Maybe so. I certainly need coffee!
I am so excited. =)
I need a break from life desperately.
So. This coming several days is going to be a little slice of heaven. Figurative Tiramasu in a montage, if you will. (Come on, sing it with me! "Everybody needs a montage ... America, FUCK YEAH!")
COMMENTS
Hmmm I love Tiramasu... *goes off to hair appointment wondering who makes it around here*
Lots of pictures! I want to live vicariously through you! My next few days involve my inlaws and a lot of cleaning, and trying to work out how to get the apparent cement that is blocking up my kitchen waste pipe to disappear so I can wash things again:P
I fucking hate tornadoes.
San Antonio is NOT supposed to get them.
Today, four touched down.
Gods bless insurance.

And you inspire me to great wetness O.o
damn outside voice.
Oh. Muh. Gawd.
I needa towel.. That made me flood like someone just remove the damn from the waters of beyond.
It's a damn shame the wetness is pee pee laughter.
Damn straight people.
Damn lovely tall smart funny smart straight people. :P
Yup, just sign me up for the depends... oh and make sure the hotel has rubber sheets :)
After that.. I would so let you stick it in my butt... Just for any future references. :D
If I had a penis I would so be all over that!
*giggle*
*faints*
Your words are so poetic, my heart is fluttering now:)
... I'd steal the phrase 'lying cunt curd' from you, but I think only a woman can really use that phrase.
Yeah, I didn't vote for Hillary either.
Requiem, I love it when you talk dirty...
and lol, TD.
I feel the tremendous urge to climb inside my navel and contemplate the fuzz.

This is the funniest damn thing I have read alllll day! Thanks.
Yep, DarkCthulhu is right. Damn I almost spit my gum across the room. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
If you see a blue sock in there- will you send it my way?
:)
*waves hello*
9 days and about 7 hours I'll be loading my car to drive to NOLA.
About 9 hours after that, I'll arrive in NOLA.
MMMMMMMM .... first thing in the morning when I get there ... Chicory coffee in the quarter.
Damned. Skippy.
COMMENTS
I am so jealous!
It sounds like a wonderful time. And maybe that hose going out in your car was a silver lining before you started your big trip. =) I don't know how often you drive distances, but a 9 hour drive really isn't all that bad if you dont think about the time. Plus I bet it will be an interesting drive with lots to look at.
So. Last Saturday, My transmission (on the highway - 50 miles+ from home - middle of NOWHERE) gave a great belch of smoke and painted the vehicle behind me with transmission fluid.
Tow - $205
TONS of people stopping to make sure I was ok, and my brother being a damn good man and driving to the ass end of nowhere to pick me and the kiddos up - pretty near priceless.
Finding out one hose - one hose was what blew - worth the cost of fixing it and giving a thorough once over to the car.
Now. For the next few nights I had the "mommy" nightmares. You know ... me and the kids in the car, and the whole car exploding ... me and the kids in the car at night and some axe murderer killing the kids while I couldn't stop him/her ... this happening at about noon when it's, oh, 130 degrees outside, no one is driving by, and we've positively no water for the kids to drink ... Then the magic of dreams kicked in. I made the axe murderer, when he/she entered my dreams again, push the car all the way to a shop, at 130 degree noon with no one around, we simply flew (like Mary Damn Poppins) home, and when the car exploded ... well, I couldn't fix that one.
Meh. It was a stressful few days.
I really cannot wait for the NOLA meet up.
So there.
Hehe.
COMMENTS
I am jealous, I am stuck here in England while you lot have fun:P
I wonder if they allow Sour Patch Kids on air planes.
Can we try to NOT fall off the bed this time, hmmm??
*snrk*
OY!
1. Pack them in your carry on.
2. Smart. Ass.
That is all.
HEY! I was looking forward to the falling off beds :)
COMMENTS
Not what I pictured this child to look like in the least little bit.
Yep. She's cute.
The "Quiet next door neighbor" kind of cute.
The kind nobody ever suspects. *snort*
Sounds like someone else we know *poke* :D
o_O What are you trying to say, man?
So. I did my homework last night.
As bizarre as it seems, I had never seen Bram Stoker's Dracula.
*waits for the resounding echo of gasps to die down*
I adored the sound track.
I enjoyed the movie. I thought a few parts were a bit hokey (stop throwing stuff at me!) but they fit the overall fantastical theme of the movie.
Also, Gary Oldman is hot.
And I could have done without Keanu Reeves. (I can always do without Keanu Reeves.)
What line keps running through my head?
Mina: "Did she suffer terribly as she died?"
Van Helsing: "Yes, she suffered terribly, then we cut off her head and took out her heart and burned her."
=)
I giggled a good bit in that movie.
COMMENTS
I've never seen it, either.
Reeves is gay.
I remember when this movie came out. I was TWELVE. **sigh** I begged and begged to go see it in the theater with my mother.
Now knowing my reaction to Gary Oldman in just about ANY character the man plays... I'm glad I didn't. LOL
What did we thing of the Annie Lennox song "Love Song for a Vampire" at the end credits? I adore that song.
I surely liked it. =) I need to find the soundtrack.
Hopkins was born for those kind of lines.
And of course, he delivers them deadpan.
I am making fried chicken for everyone to eat out on the back deck while we watch the firework shows.
Add some sliced watermelon and chilled juice ... and it's a good evening. :-D

Is it true that beignettes are satan for people wearing black? I heard a lot about the powdered sugar on them:) Hope you are having a ton of fun:)

You must never leave Cafe du Monde without having powdered sugar on your clothes.

You know ... it took me a good 20 minutes to get the damned sugar out of my clothes.
