  • 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. I was watching tv tonight, when Good Will Hunting came on. I don’t know that I have ever seen…

  • Point taken

    Kevin is right. I was pretty excited to rock these shoes and my new little red dress on Friday so I should show the world what I wore on Bourbon for seven hours. And did I mention I danced? Because I totally did. I’m pretty proud of myself.

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…

  • Bridesmaid Day with AJ

    AJ is getting married (to Ben–three cheers for high school romance. I have the high school dance pics to prove it!) in September and since Christmas was the only time that we would all be together before the wedding, we spent the day selecting bridesmaid dressed in Concord. I was the *lucky* winner who modeled…
