I missed the first parade but am going to see Barkus this Sunday in the Quarter – the parade made up a krewe of dogs. But first stopping at Lafitte’s to get a voodoo daiquiri and see if they will make some for my party on Endymion Saturday. Jamabalaya, mini muffelatas, stuffed mirliton and voodoo daiquiris – then a parade – what more could you want?

I went to my duet last night and my partner cancelled so I had a solo class on the reformer – good god it was tough – I don’t think I’ve done any other exercise that has challenged my body like Pilates. It really is all that but you really need a good teacher. I’ve been lucky to have been through some of the best in this city so far. Joni and Alexis at Uncle…
I’m in some short-lived vortex of incredible extra-sensory perception [read: let them eat cake in terms of friends and lovers] as well as acute “things to do” [a work load that is short of psychotic] and let’s not forget a consumer electronics vibe that is defeating [reamed by a nonfunctioning IPOD converter, a camera chord swallowed by a vacuum] not to mention hardware that slips off in your hands [a door knob rigged by Roy…
I just want to say that I live a charmed life. Really, I’ve had conversations with people today that make me think I live in an ever expanding universe where every day is new and different and yet it all contributes to this wide web of knowing. It’s pouring outside and Loca couldn’t walk this morning so she ripped two stuffed animals to their deaths and now is lying prone on the floor – snoring. A dog’s…

My Pilates instructor sent me a wedding invite – they are getting married over Mardi Gras and have started a krewe and are king and queen – fun – but I never got any of the emails because she said they bounce back to her when she sends them to my email address. B told me that he got this great gadget that lets him play his IPOD through his car stereo and he gave me…
When to engage – when you are dealing with someone on the other end who has equal facilities as you and can offer up as much as you do. In this case – green light.When not to engage – when the person you are dealing with refuses to move their bags off the table and you can’t see the whites of their eyes because the suitcases are stacked so high that you are having to…
Tonight’s full moon has the effect of making me go stir crazy – I’m beating the bars of my cage – I’m about to start beating my chest – my nostrils are flaring – if anyone even for one minute believes that we are so different from animals they need only tune into their senses to know that how we smell, see, taste, touch is not that much different from an animal – or maybe…
