The Phantom of the Opera

After being up late last night, it was nice to be in no hurry to get up this morning. I got up at ten, got myself ready and cooked some sausage for red beans tonight before leaving the house with Dad for 11:30. Before making it to work this afternoon, we went to Bravo’s Italian Kitchen for lunch on St. Charles, where the Coach’s call-in show with Tulane baseball coach Rick Jones was being broadcast at noon. He and the host discussed last night’s win and the upcoming super-regional tournament versus Rice. I had the lasagna for lunch. I thought I was just getting a half order but I received a rather intimidating dish instead. It was quite good and I managed to finish it with a little help. After we finished eating we stuck around for the end of the radio show. We finally arrived at work around 1:30 after a stop at the uptown post office. There was some dictation remaining from yesterday but it was no trouble. There was very little work for the rest of the day. Dad and I made our way out of the office around six. We stopped for French bread on the way home. Instead of having the red beans we cooked today for dinner, we ate the leftover black-eyed peas at Mom’s behest. Later in the evening I watched The Phantom of the Opera. I have an acute distaste for musicals on-screen as I find musical interludes just don’t work in movies like they do on stage. However, this particular musical is exceptionally lush and polished and was reasonably enjoyable.

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 [...]
