To keep this from being a movie and music only blog, I figured I should write about yesterday. Last evening was my first taste of Mardi Gras in Louisiana. Monroe had their annual Mardi Gras parade (why it was last night, don't ask me). A bunch of us got together outside, cooked and ate 75 pounds of crawfish, drank, and watched the parade. It was a fun experience, despite the 35 degree temperature and rain. I caught about 20 pounds of beads, and the floats were amazing, even though there weren't many of them. All in all, what made the day was being around the people I love. We have a blast together, and it was even more special being Valentine's day. This was my first official Valentine's day with Lacey (last year we were apart), and it was wonderful. I'm not going to be too shmoopy, but she did get me the Lost in Translation DVD:) Anyway, it was a great day, and much fun was had by all, much more so because I love the people down here. Bad grammar and everything.
