Get the F outta dodge...

So...I made it through my first year in this hell hole without a hurricane. That apparently was luck. This year, within the first month the gulf already had a hurricane that slammed into Florida (obviously missing New Orleans). However, there's another bad boy brewing in the Carribean as I type. Gustav, you're a fucker.

So like everyone else who was traumatized by Katrina (I'm just a wuss), we're all making evac plans. I'm going to travel just outside of the hurricane's path - California. F it man, I'm just going home. See ya, bitches!

Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen

Old jailbait brit...




...and the new bigger and badder Brit sporting a third bewb.

Go Lakeshow!

Ok...so I was REALLY excited about the NBA playoffs this year. With the absurdity of the Western Conference and Boston's amazing record, I could tell it was going to be a good year.

Well...Boston has been a let down, playing down to their opponents. Honestly, those guys are washed up. Doc should be fired. If they got a new coach, it would take them at least a year to get settled into the system. In two years, the team will probably be disbanded...what a shame. It looks like Boston is screwed this year and for the years to come.

And now for the hometown Hornets - goddam I never would have suspected they would destroy the Mavs. Nor did I even guess they would give us a game 7 with the spurs! I honestly don't know who will walk away with the victory, but given how the home teams have been playing this year, I'm hoping the Hornets hit the lakers. Now THAT is a series I'll be glued to. And then when we get an LA-Detroit finals, I'll tune in occasionally just to see LA beat the hell out of detroit. God I hate the pistons.

Anyway, in celebration of LA's stunning victory over the Jazz, I stumbled across an AWESOME picture depicting the jubilation of the lakeshow. It almost warrants an Orange Mocha Frappucino! (For those that don't get it, bite me)

Exam time sucks

Sigh...well, the title of this entry just about sums it up. For the last week or two, I've been busting my ass to study up on the new material. We were also supposed to use that time to study for the cumulative finals we have on this upcoming Monday and the following Thursday. Well I didn't. I decided to focus on this new material and just bust my ass for the upcoming finals afterwards. I don't even think I did that well on this last test. Fack me. Ugh.

Anyway...I got some more awesome pictures of New Orleans!

I don't even know what to say about this one other than "wtf"


And this one I got while I was studying for exams. They make some pretty small chairs out here.

So it's been a little while since I've bitched about this place

Maybe my outlook on life has been better since exams are over for now. Or maybe it's because the girlfriend is in town, making our lives easier. Or maybe I've been drinking enough to drown my misery. What ever the reason, there are a few great things going on here!

Several years ago when Mark Cuban just entered the league, I thought he was a minor diety. More owners could use his passion and child-like love for the game and focus on the game rather than making money. It was a welcomed departure from the norm. But after years of his annoying bitching and spaz attacks, I have grown tired of the bajillionaire. Last year, I saw the Warriors close out at home against the Mavs. The look on Dirk No-win-ski's face left me ecstatic. And now this year, my new local team has kicked Dallas to the curb AGAIN. I love it! Unfortunately the Hornets are going to get stomped by San Antonio, but it's been a great run. Btw...Chris Paul is my hero.

On the Dirk note...how many of you guys remember this? What a classic...

...because he's pastay pastay

And I've found a new favorite book...

Here is my favorite recent magazine ad for all you photo nerds out there. And it doesn't even contain nudity. Yeah...I don't know what has happened to me lately either. Anyway, I liked it so much that the ladyfriend even got me a poster of it sent over from Canon UK!

Ok...enough of the positive junk. Now for my regularly scheduled bitching...

Lookie at what I saw when I was walking into the elevator today. So not only are lazy fvcks leaving dog crap in the hallway, they're now leaving shopping carts in my elevator. On top of that, people just leave garbage in the trash room as opposed to throwing it down the chute. PSA to all you lazy aholes: CLEAN UP YOUR SHIT.

Ok...deep breath. This one kinda made me laugh a bit because it could only happen in nola. This tree didn't get knocked over by a drunk driver (for a change). My best guess is that some drunken dillwad was hanging from the tree and then broke it. Given how fat people are here, I'd believe it. And then the tree proceeded to sit there for several days since local government services (like tree-pickup) don't operate 6 out of 7 days of the week.

And everyone knows how much I bitch about how crappy the roads are here. Let me show you what they consider road repair. This hole on a major street was blocked off for the good part of a few weeks for no good reason. Work was done to cut a hole in the ground, but then it took forever and a half to get someone to fill the damn hole in. And when they filled in the hole, they did it over the course of about two weeks. First they laid some concrete down, leaving a 6" deep pothole that proceeded to destroy many-a-car. Then they decided to fill in an oblong hole with a rectangular patch of asphalt, leaving unfilled edges. Over time, the potholes grew and grew. And then finally, they decided to lay asphalt over the ENTIRE hole. WTF is going on with the civil engineers here? Did they fail kindergarten? How the hell can they not know that a square peg doesn't fit in a round hole? Sigh...idiots.

And I guess this is just city life, but I've never seen anyone ticket a FedEx truck.

I guess that's it for now. Off to anger management class...
