Okay, seeing as I've never messed with a blog before, this might be rough at the outset.
This is a first post, just to see if I'm doing it right. And if I didn't, then oh well.
Two first topics, I suppose:
Thursday was the start of the 2006 hurricane season, and I'm still not in my apartment. FYI to those unaware: I moved to New Orleans in February 2005, getting a job modelling the sewer system of Metairie and Bridge City, LA. Katrina made for a lot of work & job security, but I've been forced to commute >60 miles (>100km) to work (each way) for the past 9 months. And then there's gas prices.
Friday I went to an Astros game with my mom & dad on his 56th birthday. 9 Amigos (the restaurant behind the right-center seats) is great, but RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. Two entrées totalled up to $45. But hey, it was better than a $10 hot dog.
No amount of condiments can make a hot dog worth $10.
Meanwhile, the Bengals beat the Texans 14-3. Oh wait, it was the Reds beating the Astros 14-3.
Man, I should've gone to the World Series last year while I had the chance....at this rate I may be 46 before they get it together again, Rocket notwithstanding.
