Once upon a Bourbon Street, parte the seconde
May 31st, 2004New Orleans is still super-fun. Add 4 more mixed drinks to my running total, even though Bourbon Street was not nearly as hopping as it had been at any point earlier this weekend. My legs, neck and upper back ache like nothing I've experienced since my… more »
Once upon a Bourbon Street, parte the firste
May 30th, 2004I am having a fan-frickin'-tastic time on my New Orleans trip, and will inform everyone of all the excitement just as soon as I get back.
For the record: I'm at 12 shots and 8 mixed drinks, and am beer free. more »
Don't need money, don't need fame
May 24th, 2004Texas was a swanky time where I got to meet a bunch of new people, and have some care-free fun. The wedding was very pretty, and had some very tasty food including a big pork roast that was really juicy and tender. I really like pork. (Stomach grumbles… more »
Link had the power, I had the mind
May 21st, 2004New Zelda game is coming out pretty soon. It's looking awfully pretty, and much like the game I was hoping would come out whenever I first bought my Gamecube. The entire Zelda franchise is becoming god-like in its ability to create vast worlds and inte… more »
Joie de vivre is anathema to ennui.
May 19th, 2004A bouquet of roses and my undying affection to the first womun I find who can correctly use the work "ennui" in a sentence that is not (a) in French and (b) not a sentence like "I don't know what the word 'ennui' means." So far I have asked about 20 pe… more »
I start millions of fires a day......in my car!
May 17th, 2004I'm really distressed to discover that "strike on box" matches mean what they say. Even after hours of searching, I have found nothing that lets them light other than the actual sticker-strip thingy on the box itself. Being all too Boy Scout-ish for my… more »
Rhinoceroses don't play games
May 14th, 2004For the first time in my voting life, I actually voted for someone/thing that won: Governor - nope, Right to Work - nope, Mayor - nope, Senator - nope. Finally, though, (from KWTV) "With all precincts reporting, the Oklahoma County Election Board counte… more »
Pinocchio
May 11th, 2004I'm sitting at IHOP, looking out the window, and there are small fluffy clouds floating quickly past me, probably not more than a mile or two away. Farther behind them is a huge shelf of clouds that is being lit from below by the setting sun. It makes… more »
De plane! De plane!
May 10th, 2004Sneaking up on us from the unexpired term that Mick Cornett left when he was elected mayor is an election for the now vacant Ward 1 spot. Conveniently, I am in that particular ward, and so I get to feverishly find out all that I can about 2 nearly invis… more »
85% of 20 years is 17 years
May 7th, 2004Today, for the first time since May 20, 2002 I cried about something that wasn't Rosie based. I'm gonna miss the guy. Civic duty notwithstanding, it's still no fun to have to say goodbye to a friend. As we sat up all of last night, just chatting as peo… more »
Lincoln, Lincoln, I've been thinkin'
May 4th, 2004Denise, the super-best girl ever, gave me a fabulous birthday present: Lincoln Logs. I can remember playing with many the log in my wee engineering days. I build houses, barns, and whole towns of wierd, Frank Lloyd Wright style constructions. So imagi… more »
