A fresh start
Tomorrow will be my wife’s first day of her new job. In order to be there before 8:30, she plans to get up around 6:00. If that is not challenging enough, she also decides to add an hour exercise after … Continue reading

Catholic Roots of Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is the last hurrah before the Catholic season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. It also has links to the Christmas season through the period known as Carnival. Mardi Gras has grown in popularity … Continue reading

独自在家(DAY 16)
早上起来去学校工作了一会儿,中午一个人无聊又到法国角看彩车游行。今天气温回升,游客比昨晚少了些,但是波旁街开始有年轻女孩为了得到漂亮的彩珠而show tits,昨天晚上太冷估计没几个能扛得住。Barely Legal在二楼阳台往下面扔T恤,我身高不占优势,等了好久才总算抢到一件。下午居然免费看show,而且饮料2 on 1,啤酒7元,还是很值的。被法国衰锅说得恨不得在波旁街数一数二的club果然名不虚传,年轻的dancers看上去是有点 barely legal,而且颇有几个会跳钢管舞的,还表演2P/3P什么的,甚至拉观众上台对跳评出一二三名。 没有见到传说中的Blaze,但是Taylor,Reese和Chloe都很hot,最耐看的还是法国衰锅喜欢的Emily,她来自密歇根州,才跳了不到半年,还在学校读书,学习按摩。偶喝完啤酒,拿了T恤出来,看见无数人手举照相机摄像机,楼顶珠子还没有落下,下面已经有人尖叫,原来一个年轻漂亮的女孩准备掀衣服了。随着漫天彩珠飞落,我也接到一些不太漂亮的珠子,脖子上已经挂得沉甸甸的,看到不少人手里端着酒还在起哄尖叫,感觉自己仿佛也变得年轻了,置身波旁街这个狂欢节的枢纽地带,头一次真切体会Mardi Gras的醉生梦死。就把去年积攒下来的一切不开心都留下吧,明天LD回来我们再一起庆祝中国的传统节日--春节。

独自在家(DAY 15)
意外接到凌晓利的电话,说他们一行四人从达拉斯专程来新奥尔良看狂欢节,拉我晚上十点半去波旁街。这是我第一次这么晚去法国角,没想到整条波旁街都是摩肩接踵的人群,满天飞舞的彩珠预示着即将到来的高潮。我把他们带到Morning Call喝咖啡,大家都很尽兴,折腾到两点才回来。

独自在家(DAY 14)
自己做的晚餐虽然说不上色香味俱全,但是营养均衡比自助餐健康,也算在美国过一把中国春节。 年二九做了红薯粥和三文鱼炒四季豆,年三十做的是海鲜米粉,年初一做了个长寿面,料足,荤素搭配合理,趁LD不在拿出来show off一下。

独自在家(DAY 12)
没有情人的情人节,想起孟庭围的经典情歌,LD不在家可以装嫩再听一把十几年前的老歌。没想好要不要吃大餐庆祝一下,可是已经不太习惯西餐的油腻,看外面阴雨天气,想想那些因为龙卷风而无家可归的难民,决定还是把钱留着投资买个舒服的海绵床吧。

独自在家(DAY 11)
没有任何先兆的情况下,一股龙卷风袭击了新奥尔良的Westbank和Upper Town,造成大量房屋损伤,大面积停电,一名住在FEMA房车里的老太太不幸遇难。市长和州长先后在今天下午视察了灾情,被影响的三个区先后宣布紧急状态。目前还不清楚有多少无家可归的人需要州里以及联邦的救助。这股龙卷风无疑给即将到来的狂欢节带来一抹阴影。

Home Alone (Day 10)
Publish or Perish? As a junior faculty, I feel the publication pressure especially when continuously working on mentally challenging problems that may not lead to any meaningful result in a short period of time. When I was a PhD student, … Continue reading
