Any interest in an FSU game watching soiree this weekend?

We are, after all, playing Wake.

Thoughts? Ruminations? Smack?

Rebounding.

Stupid stomach bug.

Stupid exhaustion.

Kicking off Friday on a happy note!

It's much easier to cheer up now that my college roommate has evacuated Galveston.

Last night, when we thought she was going to ride out Ike, my sleep wasn't very restful.

Thank God she's safe.

On to the show...my favorite band, who is headlining Voodoo this year:

Hollis Thomas is no longer a Saint.

That's right - the Saints just cut Hollis Thomas off IR.

To tan or not to tan?

So my brother's favorite hobby (apart from destroying watermelons, that is) is to lay out by the pool at his apartment complex in Tallahassee whilst his remote-controlled robot serves him cranberry martinis with a twist of lime.

I kid you not.

Today I told him he is beginning to resemble fine Corinthian leather, just like George Hamilton.

Too harsh? ;)

Still crying from laughter here...it's been a while since I've read anything quite as clever.

"I felt voluptuous."

Ha!

Colston is out for 4-6 weeks.

Fantasy owners, it's time to take a fresh look at David Patten - he'll be our No. 1 receiver for the next few weeks.

Seriously, what will it take?

Are Nagin and his crony Riley so determined to ruin any chance for this city to rebuild and thrive?

Seriously?

My condolences to the family of this remarkable man.

It pisses me off that while other cities are able to use our crime rate against us when bidding for conferences/events, our city officials sit around with their thumbs up their proverbial posteriors. The DEA took a chance on our city by holding their conference here, and this is how we give thanks.

Wow.

I'm sure they won't make the same mistake twice...and I'm also fairly sure that we will start to see the number of conferences in NOLA start to dwindle - with good reason.

He was our neighbor.

I hope his family knows that our neighborhood shares their grief at this act of violence.

We're okay after Gustav - happy to be home and not buying any groceries until after Ike.

Crap. Gustav. Crap.
