I haven't had much to blog about lately. It seems like the interesting things in life are really impossible to convey in a blog post, the not as interesting things are - well - not as interesting (not that it's stopped me before). Interesting or not, here's what I've been up to lately:
Monday, I went to a crawfish boil (pronounced "crawfish boll"). It's been several years since I've eaten the mudbugs, and it struck me once again how strange it is that we Louisianians eat those things. They taste great, but they don't call them "mudbugs" for nothin'.
I'm trying to think of other activities this week, but that's pretty much all I've done. I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. It will be the first time in I don't know how long that Rachel and I have both been home on the same weekend without other people in town. Maybe we'll go to a movie or something. I want to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Starsky and Hutch. The Ladykillers also opens tomorrow, so I'll either have to check out the $2 matinees at the mall or see only one (which is much more likely).
Next Thursday, I'm flying to Arizona for a few days and I'm looking forward to the vacation time. With such limited vacation time available, I'm always trying to make the best use of my days off. I think this will be a good use of them.
Sorry to get your hopes up, but I wont be there after all. Sorry sis'.
Good thing I have other friends.

Posted by: Rus at March 26, 2004 08:35 PMall three of the movies you're thinking about seeing are awesome. i've already seen eternal sunshine twice. it's one of my favorite recent movies and i will definitely own it when it comes out on dvd.
Posted by: dp at March 29, 2004 08:39 PMAh, man. I swear, this is the FOURTH time in the past 24 hours that I've read or heard about someone enjoying crawfish. My mouth is watering and I have so many childhood memories overwhelming me. I'm really craving crawfish now.
Posted by: TulipGirl at March 29, 2004 08:39 PMI ended up not seeing any of the movies, unfortunately. Maybe next week. I really want to see Eternal Sunshine.
And TulipGirl, you should definitely find some crawfish to eat. I don't know where you live, but around here, we have restaurants that boil them so you don't have to go through the trouble yourself if you don't want to.
Ahh... crawfish, I know them very well. I dissected one a couple of weeks ago. ;)
