This morning I was able to sleep in until 10 am. That's right. A good, solid 11 hours of sleep for me. It felt so good! I got the day off today and Monday is Labor Day here so I get that day off too! I suddenly have so much free time I have no idea what to do with myself. Suggestions are welcome.
At the moment I am waiting on Mom to get on Skype. We were supposed to meet 15 minutes ago, but I guess it's a good thing she's late otherwise I would be watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice and not writing this insanely boring post.
I went to the Legends of New Orleans Jazz concert at the Opera House two nights ago and it was spectacular! Jon Cleary is Elton John meets Van Morrison meets zydeco. Watching him on the piano was absurd. And he did a song in the style of Jelly Roll Morton who wrote my university's Tiger Rag, so you know I loved that one! The Dirty Dozen Brass Band was next and they were really cool. Turns out the did a duet with Norah Jones that I had on my iPod so the fact that I already had their music made me happy. Allen Toussaint came out last in a sparkly jacket any flaming gay male would envy and since I was pretty toasted at this point in the night I greatly enjoyed his set and got up and danced. A big and joyful thank you to my family who gave me this present. It was a stroke of brilliance! I wish you all could have been there!
Uh...my laundry is done which means I have to go hang things on the line out back. The idea is wonderful but honestly, my arms get tired from reaching up there for 20 minutes. Can't someone else do it? I am too short for all that.
I have a feeling today will be filled with Pride and Prejudice, The Help movie and possible The Guard movie. For everyone that enjoyed In Bruge- look up The Guard. I can't wait to see it!
Love! And remember: Don't go number 2 in the bathtub while other people are in it, the way a certain child did last night. No one likes to clean that sh-- up.

ReplyDeleteROTFL!!!!!!!! BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......Holy crap that's funny!!
Glad you enjoyed New Orleans. Very interesting things you discovered. You taught me something new about our precious alma mater and it's most prominent fight song--thank you. Very interesting read. And it sounds like you better start taking a strainer to bath time from now on...
