I spend the work day just transcribing reports that were waiting for me over the weekend.  Dad and I left the office at about six this evening.  Dad dropped me off on Poydras Street.  I asked Bianca to meet me in front of Mother&#8217;s restaurant.  I found her walking past the court house.  The crowd at the restaurant was very manageable this evening.  It was nothing like what I&#8217;ve seen of their lunch crowds.  I ordered the crawfish etouffee and Bianca got the red beans.  The wait seemed a little long in relation to the number of customers in the place but it was no problem because the food was great.  This was only my second time patronizing Mother&#8217;s but I&#8217;m reasonably confidant they don&#8217;t have a single bad dish.  Bianca and I finished dinner shortly after seven.  We walked to Canal Place where we went to see a movie tonight, Thank You for Smoking.  The movie is a satire centered around a lobbyist for the tobacco industry and his son.  Like the trailer, the movie was hilarious and I enjoyed it, as did Bianca, who&#8217;s &#8216;complained&#8217; about me taking her to see depressing movies in the past.  After the movie, Bianca and I walked around in the quarter a bit looking for some dessert.  Although there&#8217;s really only one choice in my mind, Bianca felt like something cold.  We stopped in a couple T-shirt shops as we were walking and we saw that guy who plays music on glassware in the quarter.  This wasn&#8217;t the first time we&#8217;d seen him, although I did tip the guy this time.  The Haggan-Daaz just behind the Cabildo was open so we got something from there.  After we left there we walked around a bit and then caught a cab home.  Late this evening, I watched the 24 season finale.  The produces apparently have this thing against happy endings, although successful outcomes are fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to work with dad for one this afternoon.
