So, for the past, I dunno, 6-7 years, I’ve pretty religiously gone to Molly’s for 10am Sunday coffee. Sometimes it devolves into lunacy1, most of the time it involves getting some work in and playing cribbage and/or backgammon. And if you ask the bartender nicely, they’ll let you use the cards and cribbage board they… Continue reading Sunday Morning Coffee at Molly’s

Slow Yo’ Roll
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
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
(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?
Nothing is ever according to plan
This evening was loosely planned out. We (the collective we (when is ‘we’ not collective? I guess I meant extended.) – including Pistolette and hubby) have our old friends and progenitors of PizzaNight™ in town tomorrow, so I found myself with a free Friday night. And before she kills me with either her .50cal Desert… Continue reading Nothing is ever according to plan
