Got a new bed today from The White Elephant in Mandeville. So that means no more futon, no more Lilah staring at me when I sleep and most important a good night sleep. Cant wait to go to bed tonight. I worked like a mad man this weekend between Pals and animating I got very little sleep. I am very excited for slumber.

Here is a pic of the garden that me and Jess built. We used a horse trough I found at my moms house and filled it with a mixture of cheap dirt from dollar store, river sand I took from a pile in the street and pricey garden soil from Harold’s. It has totally taken off from the beginning, it gets full sun for about 4 hours a day and gets watered everyday unless it rains.

Friday night Jess and I went fishing at the point to try and catch fish before the spillway destroys the fishing. We met up with dirty talking Bruno and Joyce. It started slow but we were having fun and then I hooked into a 15 lb Black Drum, I fought it for about 20 minutes and landed it. I am now in Bruno’s West End Point Exceptional Fish Photo Album. Saturday I went for a 25 mile ride with Jonah. We went to Levee and about 5 miles into we were joined by what Jonah called “the Obi-Wan Kenobi” of cycling. His name is Bob, 72 years old and probably one of coolest cyclist I have ever met. It was a really good ride and I must give Jonah some props for going into CC’s sporting his Lycra to get us some ice coffee.
Sunday Tom Boonon won the Paris Roubaix. Big George had another bike mishap but still finished 9th overall.

I heard the lovely sound of gunshots last night and it had become the norm to hear them every month or so. Is this just how things are going to roll around here for now on.
Paris Roubaix is Sunday and I am very excited. All of the doping crap and fair weather people that are out of my life has made my cycling posse smaller but I dont care because I love it. Big George this is your year is what I have to say. I can say Fuck Le Tour (your scared of Johan Bruyneel), real cycling fans know it doesnt count this year anyway since the best cyclist are not riding because the French are pussies. You still have me on the Roubaix.
Ok, so we need to open the spillway and that makes me a little pissed for selfish reasons. FISHING.

Me and Jess moved into a new place in Mid City. It is an oh so sweet pad next door to a good friend. I have lived in the ghetto for too long and I realize that now because I am now the ghetto in the new hood. People talk to me without asking for money (weird feeling). We planted a new garden yesterday using a horse trough as a planter and got our plants from Harold,s (thought of Chris B) in the bywater.
I have new sleep habits due to:
It is amazing, I wake up at 7 am every morning and I have been crashing out before Midnight. I was sitting on the stoop with Jess yesterday at around 9:30 pm and I told her I was getting tired. I think proceeded to ask if I were getting old or something. I guess that is what happens when you actually get on a schedule.

Moved into the office with spasticrobot this week and it is working out beautifully. I am really trying to make my job Mon - Fri and 50 hours per week. So far it is going really good since I am in a nerd office space with other nerds I am noticing a higher level of productivity. That is a good thing since I am trying to recover my finances from my 2 week hiatus and I am also trying to move into a new home. I am commuting from the NS every morning at 6 am and leaving around 6 pm so you can imagine how urgent it is to move back to nola asap.

The trip to the Arizona hot Springs was epic, if you have never been, you should check it out. It is 5 miles south of the Hoover Dam and about 20 miles south of Vegas. It is beautiful and clean and the hike is difficult but not a killer. One suggestion, BRING WATER.

We made it back Friday without any major issues (except for a crack in the windshield). She is in the shop now getting some squeaks and leaks fixed. Me and Jess are planning on getting back to NOLA by the end of the week hopefully and I can not wait. We a are residing in the covluv until then.
