Damn, all we do around here is eat! I'm at the last day of work before we have a sweet, sweet week off for MARDI GRAS! Light crowds this year owing to the early date, which we locals love. On Sunday, I'll be sitting on a balcony with several beverages watching the Super Bowl with one eye and the Bacchus parade with the other.

You get a WEEK off for Mardi Gras?!? Lucky you.
I'm a high school teacher. The archdiocese just accepted at one point that no one was going to show up anyway, and if they did they'd be too tired and or hungover to teach or learn. Most of us get little if any spring break as a payback though.
I just got back from work, had a shower and made myself a gin and tonic, after which I played my first (surprisingly adequate) versions of There's A Story In Your Voice, Either Side Of The Same Town and Needle Time. Now waiting for friends and band members to turn up so we can celebrate just signing our best record contract yet with cheap fake champagne, and to come up for a title for our newly finished record that everyone seems to enjoy immensely.
The Magnetic Fields just broke my ipod. At exactly 1.37 mins through "The Death of Ferdinand De Saussure" it froze and is frozen still.
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
While at the Botanica Bar Miss BA be sure to ...."put da lime in da coconut and drink em both up......"

Caught Million Dollar Baby this afternoon and I liked it very much. I can't talk too much about it for fear of spoiling it but I will say that the "twist" was very effective and in no way gimmicky as it was rooted in something central to Eastwood and Swank's characters.
Yesterday's fake champagne binge was so nice it's continued slowly but surely all day today and I still have two large bottles left for tonight. I'm going to Bo's.
