Unsure

I am not completely sure, but I think I witnessed a drug deal outside of my window.

The dude was standing in the parking lot talking on the phone before this car arrived. After he got off the phone, he started pacing around the parking lot in circles, nonstop. It was just all very strange. I think they might have seen me. I'm posting this picture for evidence, just in case they did.

Deck the Halls

The Christmas season has strolled upon us. Tis the season of endless traffic and crowds. I hope everyone can look at the big picture instead of the consumer approach.

Happy Holidays! I know it is my favorite time of year.

Perhaps a Plant

Today I called the property office for the fifth time to tell them that I have a problem with inner-apartment precipitation. Now, I'm just annoyed. In six weeks, they apparently cannot even begin to solve a problem. It rains just about everyday in New Orleans. I have to put a towel out daily to catch the rain. The rainfall today lasted a few minutes longer than the regular afternoon showers. I had to break out the big guns, the bucket and the skillet.

Now, I thought about just letting it rain. I mean, they are the ones that will have to fix the mess. However, I'm the one that's going to have to live with the black mold for months before it is fixed. It's bad enough that a cat lived in this apartment before me, and the carpet was never changed. In one spot, where the carpet meets the baseboards, the carpet was a little hard a clumpy. Yeah, that's right...it's left over cat feces from the old litter box.

Do I live in the ghetto? I thought I paid a decent amount of money for things to not be so deplorable. I may as well live on the Westbank.

I guess I should just make the best of the situation. I'll put a plant here. That way, the plant can grow and flourish with the natural rain sprinkling system that came along as a special amenity, courtesy of the Creeks.

I MOVED!

Well, I have been talking about it for some time now, but I have finally moved out of my parents' house. Let's face the facts, a three hour commute, in one direction, was never going to work for me, and commuting was not an option.

I found a one bedroom apartment in New Orleans, with help from one of my friends. I really like the complex, and the apartment is a pretty good size. Another great thing is that the friend that helped me find the place lives right across the street from me.

I need all the help I can get. I do not know how to navigate through the city. I know some things about New Orleans, but I do not know how to connect area to area. It is going to be a learning process for me. School does not start begin until August 14th, so I have time to become familiar with my surroundings.
