Humid Beings

Just saw The Tricky Part starring Kevin Ford at Byrdie's Gallery on St. Claude. Controversial but important material & convincing portrayal.

Really #pandora? The Doobie Brothers' Long Train Running? *shrug*

@_JennThomas I'm so sorry. I understand how hard it is. My thoughts are with you.

@cokeman I blame my curent avi. It's too fuzzy & far away. When I upload to my fan page, I'll repost. I'm at #dayjob right now.

Notice a familiar face in some of these looks from @MakeMeUpNola ? ;-) http://t.co/rFAXrae

#nowplaying Shiver- Coldplay

Bless my rescue kitty. Shhe's afraid it will flood and wants me to hold her constantly.

I had a dream that someone whom I admire passed away. I hope it's not prophetic. It was very vivid. :(

RT @melissabaluka: RT @wilw: Q: Is there anything hipsters can't ruin? A: There is, but you probably haven't heard of it.

@brianpmoore666 ...and my name is not all that uncommon. It's a very old name of latin origins.

@brianpmoore666 You're welcome! :-D #lolz #nocontext4uz

This weirdness of going out during the week and wanting/needing to stay in on the weekend is a little strange.

"RIP Albert Joseph Jackson, the Moses of Magazine Street"

Last year, I injured my knee and was in a knee brace and crutches. Every time Albert saw me, he would ask if I was getting better. One time, he tried to give me change for the bus. A friend said that one night, he was leaving Rendesvous and Albert…

You Are a Part of the Problem

I saw you. The lady in the large, shiny, white luxury SUV, driving by yourself, with little cargo and no other passengers. You were driving in the parking lot of the Rouse's on Tchoup, at about 35 MPH. You were in such a rush, so self-important, that you almost hit…

"Attack of the Pod-Monsters"

MitchMuses: that's just it. Most of the content that you're listening to is from national media, which is a good start, but on a local level, I don't think that pod casts are utilized to their full potential. You do bring up one of the pros of a program that…

"Attack of the Pod-Monsters"

Someone pointed out You Tube channels. Yes, I do know a lot of people You Tube channels. Some are better than others. Most people I know who have them use them solely as a promotional tool and I see quite a few that are more like diary entries than really…

Attack of the Pod-Monsters

Riddle me this, Humid Beings: Why is New Orleans so phobic of alternative web media? Okay, in all fairness, if you're reading this, you're at least newly interested in local-interest web media, so to some degree, I might be preaching to the choir. Since Hurricane Katrina's disheveled aftermath, we have…

Cool. Thanks for the heads up!

Stuff in My Head

Stuff rolling around in my head right now:Part of a poem by Longfellow that I recited in drama class in high school about 11 or 12 years ago.Kermit Ruffins' cover of "Ain't Misbehavin' "People who I want to interview for the pod cast in the next few months. Whether or not…

"Note to self: do not blog directly on the humid beings site. Lost a blog entry much in the same way I used to lose My Space blogs. Very sad"

Hey, it might have been a time-out issue, and I usually type things ahead of time and save them for those kinds of reasons, but of course I didn't this time. (d'oh!)

"Why I love Prince"

HI, shercole. What's great about Prince is that, sure, he can sing and play musical instruments and write songs, but he is a true performance artist in every sense of the word- and yet he doesn't compromise his musical abilities during his performances & they aren't used to mask a…

Thanks for your reply, MitchMuses. If you go to the original post, you'll see it's a pod cast and you can click on the media player to hear the full interview. Are we really trend setters, or is that kind of philanthropy old-fashioned? I think in many ways, New Orleans…

"Taste:A Slice of twenty-Something Life in Nola"

Maybe I can get the ball rolling on some discussion here? I thought it was interesting how Gabrielle brought up the topic of social media philanthropy groups and the "party with a purpose" crowd. One subject that I didn't touch on in the interview was that this is by no…
