here’s the video of hurrican gustav hitting baton rouge that i took from the house. i am sweating my ass off in my office on campus. still no power or any word on when we’ll have it at home. starting to kind of suck, really. it’s hot, there’s shit everywhere. it’s really a disaster. getting [...]

just tried to take lefty outside at 8:30 … pouring rain, just tremendous amounts of rain, although not much wind yet. he ran around the yard for a few minutes while we both got soaked, but didn’t pee. i guess it’s just too wet to pee. wait till that wind starts blowing … wind’s picking [...]

very calm now. 12:12 a.m. just got home from beers at daniel and helana’s and walked lefty for what is likely the last time until later tomorrow, hopefully (?) … it’s calm and sleepy and the air feels strange. between 7 and 8 pm tonight we were under a tornado warning. i didn’t know this [...]

big storm coming. hopefully it’s just the hyperbolic rhetorical bile of spineless politicians fearful of getting left holding the bag of death soaked floodwater, but they have sounded the alarm down here. tomorrow at 4 a.m. all of the gulf coast of mississippi and louisiana are under mandatory evacuation. they basically shut down the highways [...]

the adventures keep crashing in waves upon the rain drenched st. augustine … the crapper room is down to the studs. it’s funny when you don’t have a toilet. i keep walking to the bathroom with my dick in my hand only to realize the toilet is sitting in my office. then i walk to [...]

at the recommendation of alan the sound guy, i paid chelsea’s another visit last night to see afrissippi. afrissippi is an amazingly fascinating band from oxford, mississippi featuring the songwriting of guelel kumba. guelel is from senegal, but he settled in oxford about six years ago. ole miss used to have a blues history course [...]

(sorry about the soft focus …) if fisher price could get together with briggs and stratton they could come up with a mower as good as this one. you’re looking at the bottom of the line from bolens. the cheapest mower you can buy at lowe’s. assembly involves bolting on the plastic wheels and filling [...]

i’m beginning to really like my neighborhood. there’s a place down the street called chelsea’s cafe. abount 10 last night, i felt a little restless and decided to head out to find a pint somewhere and see what i could dig up. i didn’t expect much. southdowns after dark is really peaceful and sleepy, which [...]

sitting here on the couch – completely nude – trying to come to terms with this skin rash i’ve developed. just to paint the picture i am, as stated, completely nude and about 15-20% of my skin is covered in pink calamine lotion. lefty’s sitting to my immediate right chewing on a rawhide bone. hold [...]
