Well, soon (7am) I depart Planet Houston™ for New Orleans. I’m going back in early under a special pass to retrieve hard disks, servers, paperwork, and other various things. I’ll grab some clothes, my gun, perhaps a bike, and others while there. Perhaps duct-tape shut some fridges and move them outside, if need be. Will… Continue reading George, get set for a mind-blowing afternoon.
My most important post … EVER!
I have some amazingly good, life-altering news. In the year two-thousand and six, we will be given The Lecter Variations, a film on the early days of the one, the only, Hannibal Lecter. Ah, life has a sudden upswing! Seriously though, news will arrive here soon. I promise.
State of the Unicorn™.
So, I sit here now at Dave and Belen’s in Austin with other NOLA refugees, eagerly awaiting PizzaNight™. Yes, I realize this is my third weekend in a row in Austin. Enough already. So, not much is known about my (and other NOLA Bike Gang™ members’) friend Unicorn™, aka MatJames. A fellow refugee mentioned an… Continue reading State of the Unicorn™.
State of the Company Address.
So, as of the beginning / middle of last week, I got our company up and running at 100% capacity. Not only does this mean that my co-workers still have jobs, but since we are involved in marine insurance, that all those fishermen, shrimpers, etc., with thrashed boats from Katrina will get the insurance money… Continue reading State of the Company Address.
You’ll go waltzing Mathilda with me.
So, last night, it finally happened. I popped. Having the past two days off have been horrifying and wonderful. Andre and Leigh are two just amazing hosts/people/couple. Anyways, I’ve been working this whole time. Haven’t really had time to sit and dwell on the situation. Well that changed. Monday night, we hit a bar that… Continue reading You’ll go waltzing Mathilda with me.
Katrina Personal Protection Information Guide.
I was sitting outside the Austin Fire Department last night with my friends Andre and Leigh, just hanging out, discussing, etc. I metioned how Pcounts™ was heading back to nola soon, and how he should get innoculated. Well, Andre gave me a printout, and later posted up a pdf, which I will share here. And,… Continue reading Katrina Personal Protection Information Guide.
function levee($canalName) { unset($home); break; }
Well, reality hasn’t set in. I mean, I’m at work now, I have an apartment, and will buy a car in the very near future. But getting our office all switched over has taken all of my time and mental capacity. I reckon there will be a large and sad freak-out next week. Ugh. Impending… Continue reading function levee($canalName) { unset($home); break; }
Home Away From Home
So, I signed a three month lease on an apartment here in Houston today. Looks like I’ll be here for a while. Tomorrow, I look for a car to buy. Will be cheaper than a rental. I really don’t have the capacity to write more right now. I’m just overwhelmed and dealing as I can.… Continue reading Home Away From Home
Heaven’s to Betsy
I am in Austin right now, and okay. I’ve been here since Friday, back when Hurricane Katrina was on the OTHER SIDE of Florida. The plan was to spend the weekend here with Dave and Belen, then three days at our Houston office. Well, it looks like I’ll be living in Houston for a few… Continue reading Heaven’s to Betsy
Where I lay my head is home
It’s good to be back, even though back is ~500 miles away from NOLA. And even though I am sitting on My Hypo-Allergenic Couch™ at Dave and Belen’s in Austin right now, it still feels right. Still feels homey. And the journey was, well, crappy. My flight from NOLA was delayed an hour. Then my… Continue reading Where I lay my head is home
