I’d like to be the first to welcome Reggie Bush to the Saints. It’s all downhill from here, Reggie. Talk to Ricky Williams about how accomplished the Saints are at turning a college stud into a chump. God help you. It’s bad enough you have jerks for parents. Now you have to overcome playing for the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked in the NFL.
P.S. over/under on The Saints leaving New Orleans: 10 months.
Dave crapped out so Kent and I went to play raquetball. Amazingly, Kent didn’t get hurt and the little raquetball doesn’t hurt as much as you think it would when it hits you.
At first, I was a bit wary of this ball flying about and you’re never really sure where it’s going to land… and the court echos every sound so Kent and I spent the first half hour saying, ‘What did you say?”. But in the end, I wasn’t that bad.
We kept score a bit (and I believe that Kent is beginning to adopt Dave’s way of giving my point to himself, but you just have to keep score as well)… and when they LIE TO YOU say, “I can’t hear you, what did you say?” Then they get embarrassed about LYING TO YOU and correct themselves.
All in all, a good first try. Different from tennis but I’m pretty good at hitting the ball with accuracy. I gave about 85% considering the majority of the game I was swinging my head around making sure I didn’t get hit with the raquet or the ball.
See you on the court Dave. I’m bringing a score pad.
Who will be the hero of what has been called the Most Important JazzFest Ever? The Big Easy took the Mardi Gras crown. But if the city’s politicians — and the Saints — don’t get their acts together (see Kimberly Williamson post, and why in the hell are we looking to trade Stallworth and D. Smith?), New Orleans will have a hard time repeating.
Matt was phat at M.G., and is the early favorite. Can Marnie live up to her billing? So sweet on the outside, but, kids, don’t let her fool you, she once filled a cursin’ jar.
Kent … well … he’ll likely get hurt upon arrival. But Leslie, on the other hand, has been full of spunk recently. A strong performance is anticipated for this career underachiever.
And don’t count out Susan. She’ll rock and drink margarita wine coolers with the best of them.
Stay tuned.
I love this woman. She has now photoshopped out the trash can on the image of Disneyland on her website.
Well that fixes everything.
Visa window opened on April 1st.
Whilst we were away, I got an email from a company in Denver I interviewed with last year, but at that time the timing wasn’t right (visa cap screwed me!). They’re interested still in me. I replied yesterday with a “hell yeah” email, pointing out exactly what had to happen visa wise (including costs).
I get a phone call tonight a couple of hours ago – it’s the techie development manager who is now in charge of hiring (wasn’t when I interviewed last year, so I didn’t speak to him). A half hour phone interview ensues.
Next step I hopefully get to speak to the head honcho. And then if all goes well perhaps get to actually start the visa process.
I’m trying not to get to far ahead or excited, because I’ve been screwed by the immigration system for the last 3 years, but……
wow.
That’s right. The Glass Bus returns, after more than 4 months of injury free play:
I took a racquet in the face this morning.
Don’t worry, its not very deep. I’m rubbing dirt in it to make sure I get a cool scar.
Here’s some more pictures: Photo Gallery
I don’t know anything about Kimberly Williamson Butler, but she certainly does not get elbuzzard.com’s endorsement for the New Orleans mayorial race. On the header of her website, she is posed on Bourbon Street in Disneyland.
Does anyone know of a spot in the Quarter that looks like this:
That’s right, the streets don’t end like that. They just don’t curve like that. Not in the section with balconies like that, anyway. Or where people can walk in the street. And they sure as hell aren’t that clean.
Over at Wonkette, they have pointed out that the trash can in the picture looks just like the ones in Disneyland:
If I remember right, the real trash cans don’t look anything like that, either.
Also: Note that there is no curb.
Kimberly Williamson Butler sucks.

Expecting a budget shortfall of $9 million for the 2006-07 school year, Loyola administrators today proposed a major restructuring of the university.
The plan, to be formally presented at the Board of Trustees’ meeting on May 19, would suspend and eliminate 27 undergraduate and graduate programs beginning in the fall. Seventeen tenured and tenure-track faculty members would also be let go. Comments from university members – students and faculty – will be accepted until April 19 on Loyola’s Web site, according to a press release from the university.
We go and trade Wayne Gandy (OT) for Byron Scott (SS) from the Falcons.
Gandy is pretty crappy. So is Scott. I don’t really remember him from any Falcons game. But that’s not important. What’s important is that now we have gotten rid of three guys on the offensive line this offseason. Which seems to me that we are going to take D’Brickshaw Ferguson over a defensive player like AJ Hawk in the draft.
I’d love to see the Saints go back to the days where we put our faith in our defense, rather than our offense.
It’s CSS Naked Day. (You probably don’t want to read that link, its all web design speak.)
CSS is the part of a website’s design that controls the style or presentation of a site. Without CSS, a website is just content.
“Good” web design mandates that style be separate from content. My design here doesn’t quite do that. The header (the logo and navigation above) use HTML tables to control their layout. They shouldn’t, but I’m lazy.
I’m working on another webdesign that will get rid of all the tables once and for all. It will be a long time coming, though.
