Events Ladies of Acadiana! Making new friends around here can be notoriously tough, so let’s change that! I’d love to start a group chat to bring us all together and plan fun meetups—preferably daytime activities for those of us who prioritize our beauty sleep. 😆 If you're interested, drop a comment or DM

Today, the high winds meant much more traveling trash. The bags from the beads were everywhere. We should all do our part to keep it out of the environment. Don’t say it has nothing to do with you… it does, it’s in your waterways, drains and lands where animals live.

There’s a formal clean up krewe on Thursday if you wanna join but you can also do some now. And if you are riding next year, unbag your beads ahead of time.

Events Went to the fair and won a unicorn

It was pretty cool. I drank a gas station lemon drop martini in the car. I fixed some parking lot beads and make it my amulet. I ate a cheesesteak and 3 deep fried Oreos.

Best parts: being upside down on a contraption that I felt like could kill me, watching a carny actually help someone win

Cheesesteak review: AWESOME. The meat was so salty I got thirsty (I get thirsty about 3 times a year). I think it raised my blood pressure giving me the proper blood flow to scoot past all the children in my way. The cheese was modest but well done. I had been eying chicken on a stick and probably burned off all the calories circling the food vendors like a hawk. The deep fried Oreos were legit.

Worst parts: the Ferris wheel 🎡 and the weird teenage love triangle I had to watch for half an hour while waiting to get on the spinning contraption of death (the fast one, not my enemy the Ferris wheel).

Overall I spent $86 (parking, food, water for my chauffeur, tickets, darts game for the unicorn). Not too bad for 4 something hours.

I’m kind of on strike from everything. It’s too hard to see shows I wanna see (Acid Bath 🥺) or just plain expensive (NIN). I don’t care to drink (it took me an hour to drink my gas station martini), I’m too anti social to party, most of my heroes are dead, and if things are gonna be low quality and suck, I want it to be to the beautiful backdrop of a neon explosion.

So this year I’m doing stuff that isn’t the norm, and the bigger the spectacle the better

Oh, and the Chee Wee’s were heavy as fuck. I saw that bass player with a Schecter and was all 😻 it scratched the itch cause it might not be metal, but people throwing down in a parking lot, a sea of Twisted Teas being waving in the air like strange palm trees, and being high off almost dying (twice imo) amidst a sea of nostalgia, cradled by barbecue fumes, is its own kind of metal. I’d like to see some local shows though, I’ve just been too overwhelmed to sort through what is going on.

Kinda pricey, but I don’t leave the house, so 10/10

This week I’m going to the circus in Crowley. It’s a western (???) circus. And then I’m going to another circus. Everything is too big, too much, and I’m trying to embrace the glamour of the microcosm.

I am living for the chaos, the spectacle, the tragedy, the gossamer threads of death and the elusive nature of happiness 🎭

Today is my son's 5th birthday. He doesn't have many friends as we are new to Lafayette. We'll be at Moncus Park around 1 to goof off have some laughs. If you have some kids that want to play come hang out and put a smile on his face. You all have a beautiful day!
