The google-trap experiment is now closed. Amusement
at the hands of search results is not worth the trouble of
useless weblog spam.

Why is it that "older" people try to make lame in-jokes about "kids these days"
not knowing what records are? I've had people ask me "do yall even know
what those are?", and I had my own portable record player in a red box to
play read-along records and sesame street records on in the 80s. "Kids
these days" watch dj's spin vinyl on tv and in clubs all the time, y'know?

So, at the moment, I work alone in downtown New Orleans.
My office is a couple blocks from so much good food it's
insane. Closest is the little pho "fast food" place, which I
can see from the window in my office, and it goes up from
there, a few restaurants per street or block sometimes, and
a triple-d a five block walk away.
So I started out on a restaurant-trying mission. I had some
help from egon and sarah when they were in town, eating in
the quarter and uptown as well, and the first three weeks I
managed thirteen restaurants, nineteen meals, and didn't run
out of money. This week has been a 'repeats' week, going
back to known-good-things, like heading down S. Rampart
to Italian Pie just now for this calzone that nearly has me in
a food coma as I type this.
The list, condensed, and minus going to eat in Place St Charles
out of sheer laziness:
purple roses-viet takeout, steve's diner, italian pie, o'henrys,
dixie gyro, poboy+gumbo on bourbon somewhere, mother's,
igor's garlic clove, asia's orchid (sushi), crazy johnnies
mother clucker's, houston's, n.o. hamburger+seafood

I was waiting to pull out onto Veterans the other day (which, for the
non-new orleans among us, is a six lane monster with trees, water,
grass, and u-turns in the center), and just as the traffic cleared, saw
two kids standing by the side of the road. One of them leaped out
into the street and did a one-handed handstand on the first white
line inbetween lanes.

Last night someone gave me a firecracker as if it were a rose.
Don't even know his name.
