Yeah, more blogslack from me, but I have an excuse this time. Read on to see.
Friday evening was fairly uneventful. I stayed home and avoided spending money, and watched it snow HARD.
Saturday, got up at the crack o’dawn and went to the Mardi Gras parade. It was, y’know, Mardi Gras - I filled my annual bare-breast-viewing quota in one morning, caught a lot of beads (until I wound up standing next to the tall SLU kids), and managed to catch the drag races (where this year’s competitors were all reeeeeally muscular). Hung around Clem’s for a while, saw a few people I knew, got hit on, and went home.
After a nice little nap, met R* at Pho Grand. Damn, I had almost forgotten how good that place is. I had the bo luc lac (”shaking beef”), he had wonton soup and a chicken dish (with ginger and onions), we split an order of spring rolls, I finished up with iced coffee and he with banana cake. Took him for a drive, which ended up at Ted Drewes for frozen custard, and back around a couple interesting neighborhoods. Ended with a kiss.
Today, I slacked at home, and went to dinner for my older brother’s birthday.
Tomorrow I have to give a training in the morning but otherwise my schedule is typical. Details to follow.
