    CL on exercise

    So I have begun running on a fairly regular basis. I haven’t done this whole get in shape thing for a long time so I knew getting back into a groove was not going to be fun but I’m starting to realize that media room food isn’t always healthy so I need to start counterbalancing…

  • Napa visits Nola: a memoir

    I (kinda) had my first Napa visitors this past weekend. I say kinda because a couple friends of my dad came last weekend so I guess that kinda counts because I took them to do tourist-y things but it was not planned until they actually arrived in the Boot. Anyway, back to the matter at…

    Go Tritons

    Dear Dad, this post is dedicated to you, so that you see that I didn’t hate college entirely, just large portions of it, primarily having to do with professors inserting their opinions where they didn’t belong…and roommates.

  • Rallying on my last night

    Since Saturday was my last night in town (technically Sunday is but I will be asleep since I leave for the airport at 3:30am!), I rallied for a night on the town. I finished a section of my media guide then showered up for some entertainment at Trancas Steakhouse’s Karaoke Night. I showed up to…

  • My happy food place

    It has been made apparent to me that the one thing that New Orleans is lacking is quality Mexican food. And by quality, I mean cheap, greasy, they-probably-don’t-use-vegetables Mexican food. I have had a couple of places in the Boot that are pretty good but there is nothing like Taqueria Rosita. So in response to…
