When this house is over with, I think I will know more about house renovation than I ever cared to know. Steve – my contractor – said to me the other day when we were going over something – “when you do your next house, and there will be a next house” – I just looked at him like he was a gone pecan – I want to be buried in the back of the…
Not six geese a-laying that’s for sure – although I saw some geese this morning on the bayou, and a pelican, and an egret, and a pigeon, and a nutria, some dogs and humans. I did think about true love and decided I think friendship is key – who do you want to hang out with? My friend J said this one time when we were having cocktails – she said at the end of…
Today I had an ever loving fit in the driveway after arriving at the LaLa and seeing that my neighbors had belligerently moved the boundary flagpost again – I was cussing up a storm when Brian came out to check on me and I said sorry sorry but my &^%!#@ neighbors and he said I understand, they’re assholes. I called G – in a hissy fit and said I need you – why are you…
My neighbors have lovingly torn up the boundary flagpole and the concrete block I placed to stop them from doing that at least five times now. I called the police but they said you have to file a claim in court. So here’s what I am going to do – nothing – I’m going to build my fence and that is it – I’m not going to let these assholes ruin my life because I…
Woke this morning in a haze because Jim was talking up a blue streak in the apartment below me at 4AM. Tossed and turned to shut him out, but couldn’t, so the Bean and I just got up. We went for a walk while it was pitch dark outside and the fog was loosely woven. Stopped in the LaLa to retrieve light bulbs that don’t work in the fancy shmancy fans. Then as we crossed…
The other day when I was with the J-man walking down Magazine, we ran into Tommy Malone who called me Red Riding Hood – I said no, it’s actually Rachel – he said no, I remember you as Red Riding Hood. Begs the question – am I everything that a big bad wolf could want?
It’s night four and so far Hanukkah Harry has not appeared – I guess I still have to replenish my karma since my badness spilled over into this year. Not even socks – the ultimate Hanukkah gift – practical and affordable. Maybe Hanukkah Harry just doesn’t know where to find me since I’m scattered all over the place with no real home. Lesson learned – next time you move into a “temporary” situation – take…
A friend sent this video and unfortunately it has such a darn catchy tune: My friend, Dr Music, says he saw this on Saturday Night Live and believes Justine Timberlake is destined to break out of his pop bubble and actually become something real.
I was speaking to a girlfriend last night about growing up boy crazy. We were laughing about a time I remembered when my father told me to back away from the window when I was 5 years old and watching with fascination as the boy across the street played war with his green plastic soldiers. Which brings me to this morning – I met with Joe Pieri to measure my cabinets for the slab counter…
They’re everywhere – fluttering and flitting about – and then dying right before your eyes – delicate wings on chubby black bellies.
