so we’re in a new hotel now

done with the sheraton, now we are over looking the mississippi in a v. nice swank hotel and everyone is loads nicer.

slave quarters in the courtyard of the bar we drank at last nite, cuckoo to see.

absinthe. it was crap, based on how not hungover i am, i know it was weak and got ripped off but still it did make things temporarily funky and my jokes got better.

we are here cos leslie wants to buy a house and i’m tagging along, she’s going to get this very neat shotgun house. the history of shotgun houses are, back in the day when rich white dudes had black gf’s they bought them these homes to live and do it in. classy right?

everyone here is really nice and laidback and friendly and chat you up and compliment you it’s great, i also feel extremely skinny too so that’s a bonus.

last nite i took a tiny bottle of wine out of the fridge and didn’t get charged for it, or for the scotch from two nites ago, i guess it woulda been insult to injury to charge us for that.

we drank pimm’s last nite. it is virtually impossible to not consume carbs right now. i was this close to getting something from popeye’s earlier today, i had to go in to get leslie a sprite. then we killed some time before checking in here by driving around taking pics of some of the devastation. houses have TFW spray painted on them, which means toxic flood water. and RIP. and dead body inside, or dead dog inside. crazy. one stoop said KEEP OFF HIPSTERS hahaha burn.

cockroaches of the sea, crawfish, we call these crayfish in canada, and yes i know they’re not really the same thing. ps. what’s with that potato?

fat dudes with cellphone belts and golf shirts walk around smoking cigars here it’s really gross. when you say thank you they say mhmm, kinda arrogant.

it is sooo hot here my hair is a fuzzy fuckin’ grease mess i have no idea how it would be possible to wear makeup in the summer.

oh yeah this bar was closing so they gave us our last drinks in to-go cups. no probs dudes!

see? who are you, winston churchill? the napolean is the oldest bar in the quarter, something like 350 years old. yes fil i took a picture of the plaque for you.

famous most amazing restaurant apparently.

i need to shave in the worst way possible.
