Poolhall Junkies

I can’t quite remember what today’s French class covered, it was a lot of things, including really big numbers. After class I stopped by Tolliver Hall to get my mail. I had a card form grandma and the flip clock I won on ebay arrived. I made something to eat when I got home and had a look at the clock. The flip digits work fine but the radio doesn’t, which I know when I got it. When I first examined the clock I thought it was just a defective switch but it turns out it’s not that simple. I went out for dinner around 5:30. I got some stir-fry and salad. After dinner I walked over to Nethken Hall for CinemaTECH’s last meeting of the quarter. Tonight they showed Heavenly Creatures, a strange film about two young girls who are very close friends and eventually murder one of their mothers true story. The second film of the evening was Poolhall Junkies, a decent pool hustler movie, albeit not as good as the 1961 film, The Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. I walked home after the second movie ended shortly before 11 and went to bed not long after that.

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 [...]
