Hitch

I woke up feeling a bit sickly this morning, likely due to the crappy night’s sleep I had. I wasn’t able to get myself together in time to go with Dad to Tulane’s baseball games today. The house was empty not long after I got up. I watched some TV for a while. Khadijah came by around three. She visited for a couple hours. I made us both some lunch shortly after she arrived. She looked through a box full of old pictures I’d taken. We both played Halo 2 for a little while. We finally heard from Andrey around five. He came by to pick us up after seven to go eat and see a movie. I still wasn’t feeling quite right but I figured I’d be better off out of the house and moving a bit. We went to Chevy’s, which is right in front of The Palace. I wasn’t really hungry but I was convinced it was in my best interest to eat something so I got a plate of quesadillias. I was only able to eat half of it. After dinner we went to the movies. It took a few minutes to decided to see Hitch. We had a bit of a wait before it started seating so we went to the arcade for a little while. We took our seats just a few minutes after they started seating. It was a good things as the theater grew full before the movie started. If nothing else, Hitch was pretty funny, although a bit long. The originality of the premise is also debatable. I can recall no other ‘date doctor’ movie but the ‘cool black guy’ teaches ‘dorky white guy’ has been done more than once. It was certainly enjoyable however, high praise given my disdain for romantic comedies. Andrey took us home after the movie. I was on the computer for a while, catching up on this log before going to bed around three.

April 24: Festival Season
Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
