damn tourists

last night i played tourist again, just hanging out downtown with jim and jessy all night. they had gone down during the day to look around, and then jaya and i met them after class. after listening to a surprisingly good band in one of the bars (which, coincidentally, both served minors and had a 3 for 1 special), we headed out to wander around bourbon for the night. after stopping to get hand grenades, we first decided to check out frenchman street. however, as we got there, jessy got a call from some guy she had just met, who convinced us to go back to bourbon. or, rather, convinced her, and we just went along for the ride. she caught up with him, they started to hit it off, and i got bored. normally i wouldn't have minded, but i don't know something about that guy pissed me off. all i can say is, if jessy hadn't decided to leave when she did, i probably would have done something stupid, and someone might have gotten hurt. anyway, after some dancing by the ladies, drinking by jim and me, and more general carousing, we wound up at cafe du monde for beignets. i love those things. after relaxing there for a while, we headed back to campus, after a long, fun, satisfying night....that ended at 11:30. that's right, we got back to the dorm a little before midnight, ready for bed at the time we usually start out here. there's something to be said for starting the night off before the sun sets.

on another note, i've created a new exercise plan, to rival that of taebo and the like. for every minute of class i miss, i will ride the stationary bike for one minute. which means i'm going to be in the gym quite a lot. i'm going to be so thin by the end of the semester.
