Wait, What?

Retraction

deitrich — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:06:41 GMT

My last post was a misprint. My phone number is: 504.430.9915. Sorry.

Today is Good Friday. I'm not going to work. As a matter of fact, I won't be working all weekend. Sunday night is for StereoTotal. Monday night is for Future Islands. At some point I need to go grocery shopping. Today I am going to go trade some clothes, come back and watch some Netflix, and then probably get real drunk.

I want to go bicycling on the Audubon Golf Course tonight, if it isn't raining.

I want to open that costume shop and host a costume party every two weeks. During the downtime, I'll learn to pilot that hot air balloon. Then in the summer, I'll take you for a ride because I love you.

Brunch Success!

Brunch

deitrich — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 17:07:00 GMT

This week I was a bit under the weather. Thankfully, I'm feeling much better now.

Today for brunch I am making: eggs and biscuits and gravy and pork chops and southwestern hashbrowns and mimosas. You're invited.

This evening we are going to the wench auction at the Krew of Pirates Parade and then to some festival, I da know the name of it.

I lost my phone in Brooklyn last week before the flood. I had to get a new one. Two years with one phone is pretty good, huh? So now my new numbah is 504.430.9951. If I don't have your number, I probably won't answer the call. Leave a message.

Papa, I miss you.

I wanted to run, run after her in the night, even though it was day.

It's a little too warm today. Please, cool off until May.

I was late for work as usual. On my way, I spotted Jeff's car on the corner of Cadiz and Dryades. I stopped off to see his new home, and he made me a delicious cup of coffee. I want a french press too. After that, I rode my bicycle to the convent and spent about an hour pretending I had actual work to do. I made a few copies, punched a few holes :) type tap type- ya know. Then I rode to the bank and the grocery store. After a delicious lunch, I am going to clean my room and take a shower. Tonight I am going to Mississippi to visit some friends and see The Watchmen.

I need new music. I love you people.

This morning feels like jumping on a trampoline.
I'm about to ride my bicycle to the Insectarium.

Weather like this is worth celebrating. I'm concerned with preserving the fun, nurturing the good times. Focus on the good grief.
Take it easy on yourself.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor

deitrich — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:18:22 GMT

I miss Clearly Canadian Sparkling Water in glass bottles. I don't know what happened, but I wish I could find some. Sarahp gave me the series box set of Seinfeld, and nothing has ever made me so hap-hap-happy. Good goodness, I'm a total Seinfeld junkie.

In other good news, I finally attained a well-paying job. I am the new bookkeeper for Ursuline Convent and the Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. It is the oldest operating convent/catholic all-girls school in the United States. I have an office in the convent, and I manage the books and bank accounts for 12 nuns. They are so unbelievably cute. They pay ridiculously well. I only have to be there 15-25 hours a week, depending on how much accounting needs to be done (tax season, week of payroll, heavy donation intake, etc). I start in a week or so. I am very excited.

Tonight I am going to Mimi's in the Marigny with Big D and Todd Mathers. Tomorrow I am going to the circus. I'm spending most of the day wondering how I will pay my bills before I get paid.

Meat and Potatoes! Who's Askin?!

I applied for a Marketing Assistant position with the Louisiana Children's Museum. I hope I get it because the other jobs I have applied for are incomparable. Right now we are at the Rue de la Course. Brad gave me a free iced cafe crema and allowed danielle and I to use his laptop while he works. I tried to send off for my birth certificate yesterday, but apparently Oklahoma requires some form of identification and a signed form to be faxed to Tennessee before it will process. This really made no sense to me, but I'll have to do it anyway if I want to obtain a non-driver's identification card in the state of Louisiana. Poop. Where can I get access to a fax machine? Is it a service at Kinko's? I guess I'll have to look into that tomorrow. I can't wait for us to get some internets in our house. We have to get jobs first though, I guess.

New Orleans is awesome. I think this is mostly because we live a block from St Charles which allows us to ride the street car almost anywhere. Also, the house is beautiful. I am more than a little lonely without sarahp and tim and and nikolas and coco and smiles and benjamin and dutch and stupid little daniel d, but hopefully it won't be too long before I see them all again.

where is my stimulus package?

turn a bit, and let me get a good look at ya

deitrich — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:51:02 GMT

i'm a phlegm-bot. i'm in need of a sewing needle, but danielle will be asleep for at least three more hours. there's a blunt roach in the living room which makes me regret turning in early yesterday. saturdays are the worst. i worked from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and i haven't decided yet if it's worth the money. but hooray for sunday! today is my only day off until christmas day. danielle and i are going to see the golden compass. also, i gotta stop off at rite aid and pick up a few chia herb gardens.

other things to do today:
-bust up a vcr and other random appliances, and fashion my findings into
miniature gadgets to attach to fabric-covered sheets of masonite.
-bake christmas cookies
-go grocery shopping

and i'm off!

summer's over and everyone's grinning. everything's dying and everyone's winning. my belly is full of beer and my heart is overflowing with adoration for most everyone these days. i think i must have caught something. two jobs keeps me very busy, but due to the holiday season, i have two days off this week. yee.

deitrich — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 05:51:57 GMT

i could watch adrian brody in slow-motion everyday forever. whatever.

i tried to buy a phone today. none of the sales associates wanted it to happen for me. i'll try again tomorrow.

i'm tired. i can't wait until thursday.

deitrich — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:20:02 GMT

so now i have two jobs. my schedule, like my car, is totally fucked. i'm going shopping for a jumpsuit and some combat boots. my think-tank spilt all over the place.

Are there many Spains?

deitrich — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:20:37 GMT

i don't know why i always delete this account. i know it won't last. and i know i'll probably do it again.

but i just came back from a road trip, and i had too much fun. i drove through mountains, slept on grass, played in yellow springs, hung around river bends, red a few books, danced in graveyards and spent some much needed quality time with my favorite of all lovelies. here's hoping it won't be long before i get to do it again.

whether or not you want to see them, there will be pictures up soon.

you were my darling

deitrich — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 08:23:36 GMT

the hours pass like centuries. I'm set up for a change. I doubt it much if I had changed my straying ways I could've lingered on. It was not for me.

good grief

deitrich — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 06:17:54 GMT

don't worry. i'm haven't got a plan, but i'm working on one, kids. i'm right on top of that, rose.

on feeling better

deitrich — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 00:44:47 GMT

who wouldn't with 7 freshly cooked strips of maple smoked bacon, the house to herself and season five of newsradio? eat it bitches...no, wait. ima do that.

introducing lotte karate:

in other good news, yesterday danielle bought a new adapter for our television/vcr/dvd/nintendo because the old one was broken. while trying to hook up the would-be newsest memeber of our electronic family, she realized that the old RFWhatever was never broken at all. for two weeks our vhs collection - totaling in at 254 videos - has been completely without sound. i think danielle somehow links the mishap to tim and i being completely imcompetent with emphasis in the fields of moving furniture and re-setting electronics. though i've have done no research on this mystery, i am complying with her theory. in any case, after a week of whining about only being able to watch dvds, suddenly i am blessed with a shit ton of videos i have already seen. this is wonderful for me.

and now it's time for a nap.

deitrich — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 17:17:43 GMT

People always tell me that well-being is a state of mind. They say things to me like, "You can will it away" or "Fight it off" or "Concentrate on feeling good, and don't dwell on feeling bad." I continue to say, "That is bullshit." However, I'm always the one getting sick. Do I lack the strength of character to fight it off? Am I too weak to live happily? It feels like there is a fist lodged in my throat. Every time I swallow I think about ending it all - have Danny K strike the back of my head with Danny D's cue ball-in-a-sock.

(be polite)

deitrich — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 03:36:33 GMT

today i had a great time grocery shopping. i'm planning a triple crock-pot dinner with friends. nothing makes me happier than new socks and two packs of hebrew nationals. i get all my socks at the grocery store.

ima soothe my cross-country craving soon- if only for a week or so. but it's not been too bad round here these days anyway. aside from the weather, of course. cool off already.

a few weeks ago while ordering slutty halloween costumes for the smut shop i work in, i ran across the "Bad Wizard" costume made by the leg avenue lingerie company. immediately i wanted to order it, buy it and wear it, but my boss looked at me like a weirdo harry potter fangirl. she reassured me that none of the spring hill moms and rednecks shopping for sex toys and porn would care about a slutty harry potter costume. today i ran across this picture of my little sister at pensacola's premier of The Order of the Phoenix.

my hair cut looks kind of awesome, but i think it might require me to loose 30 lbs. the problem there is that if i were to loose 30 lbs, i'd look just like my ma, and well, i don't think i can hack it. ah well.

i wish danielle and i had off days together. we could ride around and listen to music, smoke some weed, watch the venture brothers on dvd, drink champagne and make foodns. but no, we never get to do anything fun.

i want a redbull.

bestcrosswords.com may be the best thing to happen to me this summer. minus the two days our modem was out sick, this week has been spent crossword to crossword. my assorted family puzzle book has been too much of a challenge for me. they are just too damn hard. it made my head hurt so i moved on to daily newspapers and online games. i have spent hours in here puzzlin. during the days at while i am at work i find myself building crosswords in my head. today a customer was explaining to me that she couldn't afford to buy a penis pump this week because she blew all her money gambling. my mind gave her words a number and a direction. #1 Down - "gambling game". then i remembered that i am off tomorrow ( #1 Across "what will i do tonight?"), and somehow craps gets connected to swimming pool. #2 Down "saturday night", attaches fishing with #1 Down and #1 Across. i had it all maped out in type, but livejournal formatting doesn't allow me to make much sense. sweating is out. bring on september.

killa beez beez buzzin together making obstacles for me to drunk stumble over. party party party, yawn. sometimes the packs are too scattered and peoples are too fucked up for my tastes. boredom grows instantly. i been werdinemup like you couldn't believe. sorry if i disappoint you. no, no i'm not. you don't have to live like a refugee.

this is not to say that i'm not looking for a big weekend. actually this is not to say anything at all.

one afternoon i thought i saw pat sajak riding side-saddle on a dolphin. the sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
it's smiles' birthday, and i can hear him snoring from the couch in the living room. the last time i looked he was sound asleep clutching a box of individually wrapped Mrs. Fields' super-soft semi-sweet chocolate-chip cookies. i love hyphens.
during the rainstorm the night before last, danielle and i got beer drunk at the three cross cemetary. we drank until the insects took over. i like encouraging danielle's beer-drinking habit. she gets belligerent and yells at everyone.
