i heart cherries, i hate havin a cold, i suck at pinball

i love bing cherries. they are so yummy, and the are making me happy at the moment.

I am not a fan of having a cold. It is almost gone. I am ready for that to happen

I played pinball last night. I am really awful at it. Yet, i still play, and still enjoy it.

the band two gallants also make me happy. That is who i am listening to at this second, and for the next 45 minutes!

Still sick.... not gonna write much... you should read this!!

Road to New Life After Katrina Is Closed to Many
an article in the NYT that everyone should read!

DO IT... DO It

I am gonna try to get some work done.
Gotta think through this cloud, i feel better, just groggy, there are three of us in this office who have this.

I have a hair appointment to day
i have an interview with the Ocean Springs News Paper about my tshirts

I opened a new store : zenorschitzel.etsy.com not very populated yet

My shirts are doin well at Jones: a southern culture store in Lexington, KY

I am officially sick.

I am one sick little thing. I went to sleep at 9pm last night, and woke up at midnight feeling like poo. I woke up at 2am feeling like poo. I woke up at 6am feeling like poo, but this time i have to stay up for a while.
My throat hurts, and my head hurts, and my eyes are puffier than i have seen them in a long time.
I am going to go to work, to see if i can get autoCAD working on my computer and then i am going to bring it home and try and finish up Myra's house, do some work on John Henry Beck Park, and some work on the website. I think i can finish Myra's house by lunch, if i get my computer working.

Myra's House is Changing, as you know

So, i have just begun to untangle Myra's roof issues. I am not as pleased with the street face, as i was before i realized it was a little bunk. I am happy however, that it is being resolved. It has lost a little bit, but it is still a perfectly good house, with 2 big porches. So, yeah, there is still a twinge of disappointment in my voice, but, i am way more happy than disappointed because the house is almost done, and Myra will begin seeing her new home come out of the ground.

my new clothes line!

I have been wanting a clothes line for a long time. I love hanging my clothes out to dry instead of sticking them in the dryer. A)there is some thing relaxing about it, B) clothes smell good, C) it is better for the clothes, D) lower energy costs. E) in the summer it is quicker than throwing them in the drier.

That being said, I was up at sweets one night, talking about wanting to make a clothes line. Well, Rick, one of the customers said he had some galvanized poles that i could have. he said he had 3 of them. So, that was the kicker of making my dream of having a clothes line a reality.

i wanted to make my clothes line poles look like people, but christine and sarah said that was probably not a good idea, because it sounded like i was going to make crucified jesus's. I figured they were right, so i would just stick the poles in the ground like a normal person would.

Rick dropped off the poles early this past week, and yesterday, i had to go to lowes for work, so i went ahead and and bought the eye bolts, the washers, a big enough drill bit, and some quick-crete.

I started this morning, drilling the holes in the posts, and assembling the hardware, and digging the holes, then it got hot, and with my celebration of the working women's holiday, i wasnt feeling good, and needed to sit in the cool for a little while. So i did.



i went back out there and mixed up the concrete and poured it.

The whole thing was surprisingly quicker than i thought it would be, and that kind of excites me.

The other thing that excites me is that tomorrow, weather permitting, i am going to hang my clothes out side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the sun made this picture come out funny. It is the only picture i took that shows the three posts. ooops..

Working Women's Day Off!

Captain Dan Bartending!!!!

So yesterday was working women's day off at Sweets Lounge. It is a beautiful holiday that is recognized at Sweets once a year! They get the regular male customers to work the bar in 2 hour shifts. But wait, it gets better, not only do the women not have to work, but we also get all of the tips. The men cant touch the tips. So last night, i got a little drunkie, watched a band, Kolija, and got paid $111 for it. Oh it was a beautiful night. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The glory of it all!

barry bartending!

Momma's comin! and a nice integration of the coast/

Well, my Momma will be here in about 2 hours. I am excited. We are going to go to La Bakery when she gets here for a vietnamese poboy and a bubble tea.

Sunday night i went to see a band that was produced from hands on and the pub. It was Bicycle Ben, Will, and Cindy's boyfriend, whose name i cannot remember. Ben and Will both used to live at hands on. Ben used to make bicycles for the community and Will still does construction with Hands On. Cindy is one of the bartenders at the Pub, which is the bar next to Hands On.

Not only were they pretty good, and entertaining, but it was nice to see some of the people who come down here get integrated into the local society. They were not only just drinking at the pub, but they were playing for everyone at the pub, and with a local drummer at that. It was a happy moment. I am going to try to get them to play at Sweets soon.

Anyway, thats about all that has been going on. I am looking forward to spending the 4th at the beach with my mom. I have heard the evening on the beach in Biloxi on the 4th is like a friendly Normandy. Everyone shooting fireworks, sometimes at each other. Hopefully, Thursday, i will still have both of my eyes :)
