i went home (a while ago) and my parents ripped apart the kitchen.  I’m pretty sure those fibers within the ugly fake bricks are asbestos.  Oh well.

Dave- the blurriness is due to being focused in on the fibers of asbestos…. which you’ll notice you can see.    But i will admit this is a bad photo.

for jessie & dan.

at work today i had to deliver some specs and drawings to brookhaven (exit 63 on the LIE!)  Deliveries are the best.  There was lots of gaga to keep me singing along the way.  AND a navigation mistake forced me to go from zero to 70 in a few seconds.  There was lots of burning rubber and lots of street credit earned for myself and the vdub.

Trying to get a good photo  (this is a link)

the final result

happy holidays!  <3 the DeOrsays!

Some pictures and very short blurbs of what i have done for a week:

So the first night i went out to eat with these cool kids.  mmm caffeine, sugar, and fried dough.

but it certainly wasn’t all fun and games…  here we are waiting in line to learn stuff… and working the best shift ever…. READY ROOM….

Here Ben posed with his chalk drawings…. and brett applied himself to jessie while on the job…

Then we ate some great peanut butter burgers at yo mama’s.  Which is my new favorite bar in the french quarter.

and we all sat by the river and watched the lightning storm…

On friday jessie, mike, and i walked around saw cute houses… and then jessie ate this apple.

and that night we listened to some sick jazz

I went sailing with my parents.  We were risky and decided to go into the “sandhole” a local spot for people to anchor, swim, eat, and beach their boats to clean them.  We made it in only touching once and almost got in a fight with a long island douche bag on the way out.  But other than that it was a great experience.

Then i met up with janine, melissa, and reed.  We went to seacliff beach to see some fire works, listen to some music, and hang out.  It was great.  coolest people ever.  We finished the whole night by stuffing our faces at broadway diner.

We look so sunkissed and beachy!

on my way home for the 4th……………  more later

here you go!

jo ruined all of our hard work….  oops!

navigation with the iphone… in a town one block long….
