Wasn't that place featured in American Gods by Neil Gaiman?Krisken said:
HELL. YES.
My wife and I just got a serious apartment upgrade. It's in the building next to us and it's a sweet 2 bedroom, much bigger than our current 2 bedroom.
It has 2 bathrooms, a vanity (she loves that), 2 balconies (his and hers???) and a huge master bedroom and for me: a bigger kitchen! Woo!

Grats Espy! Sounds like a sweet deal indeed.

Go man go!
My friend just told me that there are 5 parishes in Louisiana that will pay you to continue your education if you make a 5 year contract with them. I wouldn't do it in some of the parishes (Avoyelles and Lafourche--if you lived here you'd know why). But one of them, St. Martin, is the first parish in Louisiana to raise the pay for public school teachers to a required 40k a year. So yeah, I think I could live there for 5 years if it meant teaching at a halfway decent school and getting my masters without leeching off my parents anymore. I'm gonna look into this...

My EMR course starts tomorrow. I'm on my way to being a paramedic!
Good luck! I had a friend who did it for 6 months or so, he had to quit. Crazy hours and some stuff you just can't un-see made it too much for him.Garbledina said:
I've gone a week and a half now without soda.
Bryan Singer just came to our front door.
Yep. He's tight with our landlord and we've seen him before, but this was the first time we all had a nice chat. He knows some sign language!
And there will be pictures, right?Cajungal said:
Knowing Bryan Singer is literally right above my head at the moment is giving me the perverse urge to put on X-Men and really blast it.

In Newfoundland, the 'Food Fishery' is on the go right now. It's the fishing season where people can go out and catch a maximum of 5 codfish for their own use. I have a wedding this weekend, so I'll be going to stay with some aunts and uncles for the second half of this week.
My mother mentioned to some uncles that I've been interested in getting a bit more in touch with what it means to be a Newfoundlander, so they've delayed their trip out to get their fish until I get out there.
Glee!

Grats!!! I've been a medic for 16-ish years and an EMT for 6 years prior to that (egads I'm getting up there)Garbledina said:
I love my job and have loved it from my very first clinical.
I've been really excited for it. This first course is two-weeks and extremely intense but I've enjoyed every minute of it (except for the AAAH STRESS bits). I spent my entire Saturday repeating "Deformities, contusions, abrasions, punctures/penetrations, burns, lacerations, swelling, tenderness, instability and crepitus." over and over and over (along with about three pages of other information) to pass my scenario exam this week, so that's been fun.Laurelai said:
