G'day box. Trying to stay on EST this trip so I've been up for about 90 minutes just :rolleyes:'ing around.

Steph3n, yeah, there were about a dozen TSA guys as well as the Houston police officer conducting the security theater. I left the PClub about 10 minutes before the inbound showed up and they were all standing around. It was redonkulous.

In other news, I found an unattended segway outside the bookshop near the E PClub entrance and I almost stole it.

In regards to my "colon-blow" post from last night, I forgot to add in the introduction that I'm just a regular guy. Curse posting whilst tired.

Ah, good point! Plus1 and I both have the day off. We'll be going to the Shell Houston Open during the day; and the House of Blues that night. My parents will be in town (my dad always comes down for the SHO) so free babysitting that night :)

Ooooffff. Last 36 hours have been crazed. Not even gonna try and catch up (did I miss anything earth-shattering).

First rehearsal in NYC last night for a new program. Went pretty well, especially considering how :rolleyes: my level of preparation actually was...

Just finished giving my (only, thank goodness) final exam - I'll be writing grade comments for the rest of the week and cursing my life.

Also, STILL no spring break decisions. At this point I'm seriously looking at sitting on my couch for 2 weeks or paying whatever the market rate is for a trip to CLE. Any good deals out there on same-day midweek transcons these days?

ARGHHHHHHHHH. Just noticed there's a dark burgundy stain on the comforter of my bed consistent with dried blood.

It was on the under side, right where I was sleeping.

I'm usually pretty good about pulling the sheets back to check for that, but I was so exhausted last night that I figured since the hotel is only 5 days old, I just I turned off the lights and crawled into bed.

Teach me to be a :rolleyes:.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Ewww! Why I like duvets. I throw the comforter and any scarves on the floor immediately. But then I also take my own sheets. :o

Any opinions on the W French Quarter in MSY?

I had to wait to book spring break until I knew bl jr didn't need her tonsils out that week (Dr. said she can wait until summer and they prefer them not in school). Problem was I went straight from her drs. appt. to rapid packing at home and getting to the airport to be at my gate exactly 15 mins. before takeoff and did not even think about booking tix until Sunday. No longer an advance purchase :rolleyes:. Spent way more on tix than I'd planned, but that's life.

Only worth it if you get a ground-floor carriage-house room (has a private back-yard and jacuzzi). They only have two. :-:

As a non-Plat, however, it may be one of the better options in terms of standard room amenities and location. If Plat, then W Poydras is a sure bet (almost always get corner suites).

Guess what day it is....
 
Good morning to all of you. I felt that it was super important that I share today with all of you....does anyone know what is sooooo special about today??? Think, One Fish...Two Fish.... (That's a really good clue!)

It is........... Read Across America Day......celebrating the birthday of Dr Seuss born on March 2, 1904!

Ok, I feel I have given my Public School Awareness Announcement and promoted literacy.

I have to go back to work now.
Have a spectacular...diffendoofer day!!:-:

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.

Do you know where I can get one of those? I would absolutely put it up at the house. Just like the pirate flag for International Talk Like A Pirate Day. ^

Yes. Unfortunately, they won't guarantee you the downstairs carriage-house room (there are two upstairs rooms, which are not especially impressive).
