Weekend

Friday wasn’t especially eventful. I did get a lot done at work though. Dad grilled some steaks for dinner. I might have watched a movie that evening.I got up at a decent hour on Saturday because I had somewhere to be in the afternoon and I wanted to clean out the inside of my computer this morning. After the ordeal with all the upgrading it was still sitting out of place and open. I took the opportunity to take it to the back yard and clean it out with the aid of the air compressor. Since my computer case has filters on the fan intakes, the dust isn’t that much of a problem.On Friday night, Andrey invited me to a small gathering at his house, sort of a belated housewarming party. There were about eight guests including some of his friends, some I hadn’t met as well as some of his family. There was food and drink and conversation. Andrey had to work this afternoon so it came to an end at about 3:30. I walked down to Maple Street and called a cab home.Later that evening I watched Papillon and talked to Krystle before bed.Most of Sunday was pretty quiet. After church I watched the Saints lose to the 0-8 St. Louis Rams pretty depressing. Later this evening, I went to the Hookah Caf on Frenchman to meet Andrey and Patrick to see Gov’t Majik, an “afro-beat arkestra.” It’s sort of a jazz band but not really. Whatever their music is called, they were quite good. I called for a cab at nine and barely got there on time at 10. The other two didn’t show up until about half past though. We were there until about midnight. The band wasn’t done but they did have places to be in the morning. It took me a little while to get a cab but I finally made it home at about 12:30. Thanks to the liquid refreshment consumed earlier in the evening, I didn’t have any trouble getting to sleep this evening.

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 [...]
