Pirate Gypsy Whore

Hi

What’s been going on?

I’ve been waking at 6am; showering; meditating; drinking coffee in my car as I drive to town; walking from my car to work; working and trying to deal with the bullshit; eating takeaways for lunch and dinner; walking to school; working in the darkroom; eating from the vending machine; walking back to my car; driving home, singing loudly; saying hello to Miko and D; going to bed and falling asleep almost instantly.

It’s been quite full on. Haven’t had time for anything else including saying hello to you.

The New Orleans thing is completely fucked up is it not? I can’t believe that they are still not dealing with the bodies. There seems to be no over leader to make sure everything gets done. Instead there is an abundance of bureaucracy with “areas of responsibility”, which unfortunately don’t cover the whole thing.

The one person I know in New Orleans is ok. She evacuated. I don’t actually know her, but I have been reading her online diary for about 5 or 6 years now. Her name is Siobhan and she is a very good writer. Very good. You want some great writing? Read her site.

Last weekend I dressed up as a pirate gypsy whore and went on a cruise ship for dinner and drinks. Was tres great. I was being stroppy drunk girl and almost got into a fistfight. Damn Irish genes. Then I stumbled through town to 101 where I saw the wonderful Lady Luck and Charlie Ash while I danced on the couch. Met a guy at the bar. Can’t remember his name, but he was real nice. His friend asked “Are you in fancy dress?” He said “Oh my god, that’s a big call. I wouldn’t have asked that.” Luckily I was. The Pirate Gypsy Whore look seems to be a hit with the fellas. Had a lot of guys chatting me up etc. None really grabbed my fancy but I amused myself by noticing the way they act when they’re attracted to you.

Didn’t go out this weekend as I was too busy/tired from working in the darkroom. My assignment is almost done. It’s due on Thursday.

Today was good. I had a nap in the sun and listened to music and finished unpacking (finally) and re-arranged the study and made beef and couscous for dins. I’m gonna figure out what I need to do this week, have a yoga session – its been a long time, then watch CSI Miami with a beer or two.

Have a good night.
