Bye bye Typepad

Well it has been fun and interesting but the time has come to move forward. Your restrictions are to much and so is your $8.95. Basshoss is where I now reside and with the help of Word Press, rev. Willcore and Bicycle Michael's migration was pretty easy. I will keep chomps.typepad.com  up through the end of April and then the divorce will be final. No hard feelings.

Poor Amby...

Lilah has been a little taxing on everyone in our house. With Lara's shoe being lunch and my helmet being dinner it has been a little rough (not to metion what comes out of her back side). But nobody has had it worst than Amber. That old girl has been a chew toy, a punching bag, a food theft victim and mosty importantly she has not been the only dog. Now there is a plus to the new puppy such as lilah keeps amber on her toes and makes her exercise.
So this is a shout out to Amber you are always the main bitch of the house.

Weekend re-cap

Thursday night: I went and saw  Born into Brothels with Lara. I cried as I am sure everyone who sees the movie will. It was beautiful, sad and amazing.
Friday: I took the day off and worked in the backyard with Lara. She had been doing some all week and we really hit it hard on Friday. We grilled some Mahi-Mahi and veggied yummmmmmmmmmm. I had an uneventful night but that is not a bad thing fo sho.
Saturday: Morning started at 4:30 am. I cooked breakfast for Erin and went to the NS. I came back home at 2 and spent time with the Lala till she had to go to work. 10 pm I went to the show and had not just a good time but a damn good time. I got to see my friends, got to dance and then I went and met up with Lala so we could end our Lentin Sacrifices. Burgers mmmmmmmmmm.
Easter Sunday: Went to the NS planning to do nothing. I met up with my Mom and we decided to cook some easter lunch. So we went to the store and grabbed some meat. We had both givin up meat for lunch so it was time to indulge in some dead cow and deer. We picked up my Uncle Harry and headed to my moms house. My Uncle Harry is a life-long NOLA resident and worked at Felix's on Bourbon St his entire career as a Oytster Shucker. He was diagnosed with MD as a teen ager but has never quit living or fighting. He is my favorite unlce without a doubt.
My moms yard was covered in azalias and her whole yard was purple. Pickles was there and I love to see that dog. She is crazy fun.  Well we grilled some steaks and back strap with mushrooms and cooked stuffed artichokes, baked potatoes and onion. It was an unexpected treat.
I got home at 4:30, just in time to give Lara her easter flowers before she had to go to work and then I slept the night away (sorry Cass) because I needed it.
I Love Weekends

phoenix, peeps and sleepy

Jude called me yesterday and invited me to go see Phoenix at the parish. Funny thing was is that Mastodon was playing next door. Mastodon was finished playing at 11:45 and Phoenix did not start till 12:15 so people that had just rocked the @$#% out at HOB came to the Parish and got a little boogy on. They were awesome despite the first two bands sucking. I am really glad I went. I got a chance to hang out with people I never see like Ama, Matt, Jude, Jaimi and Cass. I stayed out till 4 am and I am sleeeeeepy now because of that but hell it was worth it. I am going home tonight and chillin with my lady and my bitches.

DJ Bunny Mathews

Saturday night at The Parish a show-down will take place.
There is only enough room for one DJ-ing mathews in nola. Bunny and Jude will see who that Mathews will be. The show is listed as one of the hot 7 picks by Gambit. Bunny is older but in his case I think that extra time can be an asset. Jude is fresh and has the natural talent for getting the room to move.

Friday night oysters that were so big that you could not eat one without having to cut it in half. I spent most of the weekend in Abita for the whole town garage sale, a bike ride and haning out with Felt and his daughter Abigail. On sunday I saw a very disturbing sight. My friend had dressed his son in the most weeny looking pants I have ever seen. He did this at the request of his girlfriend. Feltus put it perfectly by saying that "if the boy has to wear that outfit than so should the dad". "Damn right" is what I said.
Sunday afternoon I hung out with Lara before she had to go to work. I walked Lilah on the median and there were three english bulldogs owned by three different people. Lilah was amazed by this breed of dog. I think she felt a connection to them because she went crazy. She loved all of them and did not want to leave. She was pooped  when we got home and no problem sleeping.

The Merchant, Lala and Lilah and Amby

Last night Lara and I went to see The Merchant of Venice and damn was it good. I did not expect to see a William Shakespeare done in such a rythmn. It is worth seeing. Afterwards we went to 13 and met up with Matt James, Emily Danger, Jim T-bo, Cass and Heather. It wasnt planned like that it just happened. It was a great ol time. We went home and listened to some country till 3 am.
Our house is coming around with the new addition and Amby is happy with her. She is a handfull but it is going to be worth it. Lara is helping with the puppy so much I dont know what I would do without her. She is good about keeping a constant set of commands so that Lilah does not get confused. Lilah does not get the come command yet for some reason. She will stay, stop, off and kennel but not come.

Shrimp Boats and poopin' puppies

Tuesday night I met up with Randy to get some work done on my arm. Let me tell you this; The inside arm/armpit is by far the worst area I have ever been tattooed. It took a little over three hours and I could not have taken one second more. This is my favorite part of this sleeve so far. My bi-cep is swollen like popeyes.
Lilah oh how I love thee
I would love you so much more if you didnt shit or pee
in the house that is
I can take chewed up socks and shoes
but I cant take the smell of the Lilah poo's
poopins for outside and so is pee
then you wont have to stay in the crate and you can be free

San Fran, Lilah and spring

I love being in San Fran but I also love coming home. I spent the weekend fishin' and workin with Lilah. Now let me tell you that Lilah is cute but she can produce things from her little body that are not cute at all. I am remembering how much energy a new puppy takes. She is a sweet puppy and she is very smart and wants to please. She can also get into a crazed  snapping frenzy like a piranha and Amber is usually her victim.
