While I’m not an overall fan of the traffic cameras, I do support them in school zones. From nola.com: On March 12, officials plan to activate 11 new cameras around town, almost all of them in school zones. They will be the first new cameras in more than a year, and Landrieu’s chief administrative… Continue reading Slow Yo’ Roll

A Birthday at NOLA Brewing
I got an email invite a bit ago for a very unique surprise birthday party for my friend Skip: a private tour of the NOLA Brewery. Let me tell you, if you get the chance, GO! It was only about $15/person for all-the-NOLA-beer-you-can-drink for the 3 or so hours we were there. Plus, we got… Continue reading A Birthday at NOLA Brewing
Breaking News – This just in: My new kilt!
My kilt count is now up to three, and each one has a purpose. My sport kilt is for running / hashing. My black utilikilt was initially for camping and post-bike-rides, but got pulled into a more formal duty for the Molly’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Over the past year, I’ve been wanting to stop… Continue reading Breaking News – This just in: My new kilt!
200% Completion
This is why I thought the XBox was a not good idea. This is the second time I’ve gotten 100% completion in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (the first time was on the Wii), and I now also have all 36 XBox Live achievements. Granted, a number of the achievements are easy. Ok, they’re all… Continue reading 200% Completion
Greydon Square
I’m not sure where I tumbled across this artist today, but I’m guessing it was at r/atheism. Now, I’m no all-knowing hip-hop/rap guy, but I do know what I like. Sometimes it’s Juvenile, most often Blackalicious, MC Frontalot, or mc chris. And I’m adding Greydon Square to my list: His music hits a number of… Continue reading Greydon Square
ABBA: One of Life’s Little Indulgences
Everyone has their little indulgences, their own dirty little secrets. One of mine is an ABBA tribute album by various metal artists. And I think it’s vastly superior to the originals. Not that I’m a big ABBA fan, but when the originals come on via shuffle, all I can think about is how much better… Continue reading ABBA: One of Life’s Little Indulgences
A Streetcar Named Marigny
When it was announced about a year ago that the Marigny would be getting added to the streetcar line, I had to change my pants. Then, the skepticism kicked in and I said I’d wait to be excited until I saw work. Well, they’ve been diggin’ up Loyola from about Girod to Poydras, and I’ll… Continue reading A Streetcar Named Marigny
Not Enough Time in the Day
Or, I need to hit the lottery. I’ve been working since about 8:30am today, minus an hour or so break here or there. Luckily, I’m at a stopping point right now, and glanced at the clock. Looks like I have time to crank out a post. It won’t be great, but it doesn’t have to… Continue reading Not Enough Time in the Day
(Clean a) Thing a Day
Having a one full-time job, a second almost full-time job, two dogs, and a wife with a full-time job and rollerderby (which, believe-you-me, takes up a LOT of time), it’s easy to let our ~2,800 sq. ft. house get into disarray. Really easy. Luckily, I have guys over every other Tuesday for D&D, so it… Continue reading (Clean a) Thing a Day
Haaaaaalo, where did you go?
“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, and I understand the precedent it may set, but, I don’t think we need another gaming system.” I actually said that. I know it’s dumb, but I think it was for my own good. See, wha ha happen was1, Bea had spent a rowdy2 night with a… Continue reading Haaaaaalo, where did you go?
