i feel so fantastic after my work out today. i was a fucking animal. i assaulted the elliptical then the treadmill. hello old friend i thought. i’m a fast runner on that shit. before i forget, next thursday is a cougar pre-drink/dinner party at BOOM. if i cook for you it’s free. also if you come you are eligible to win a prize. a family day prize. hint hint. casie is going to do an interactive training session with me this friday morning at the motion room if you want to nab a spot for that experience, let me know. my body is really starting to transform now. next week i start more weights. i am going to reward myself with a tropical vacation if i turn into christina ricci in black snake moan by my birthday. disney cruise anyone? totally not fucking with you.

starbucks are a bunch of evil geniuses. their showcase kills me. i only ever get the reduced fat banana chocolate chip loaf (that tastes like disgusting) or an espresso brownie which i inhale by the time my americano soy misto is ready. i cheat on cherry bomb with starbucks sometimes, also poor john’s if i anticipate a line at cherry. i get tangled into talk with the poor john’s chick too much (which i love but can’t afford when in a rush to tmr, which i typically am because i am always, always late).

even the power lines are lazy and sultry. magnificent. i love southern hospitality, southern belles. slow laid back don’t make a fuss. work days end at 3 and it’s mint julips and men dressed like 1920’s bankers they go mm hmm in lieu of a you’re welcome. when i first met bunny, hearing her accent was a trip. a genteel girl, no hint of crass even though she’s actually kinda punk. we had a hot moment.

anyway, new orleans is a place for muses. it is a muse. everyone is out there, decadent. a bit dark beneath the surface, born snake charmers. hustlers. genuine people. the scene is other-worldly. friday is disneyland drink fest crowds everywhere you get swept up into it drink in hand in and out entire bars to courtyards of drunks from every corner of america everyone engages with you back on the street again cobblestone u-turn through another bar full of patrons treating you with class and manners escorting you through ornate rooms with piano players and yet more servants there waiting for you, just you, special you. after suffering conservative toronto no eye contact universe soaking up that attention is intoxicating. everyone is drunk and friendlier. dancing in doorways pissed at 1pm. you can forget who you are here.
