Muckluck

I watched The Big Easy last night. Or as I like to refer to as a two-hour advertisement for New Orleans. Seriously, they fit into the movie, almost everything there is to show about New Orleans. It wasn't even around Mardi Gras and there was a scene that they went to this warehouse and there were all these huge masks and stuff for Mardi Gras and the cop says, "Those are for Mardi Gras."

Anyway, I only watched it because Dennis Quaid was on "Fresh Air" the other day and Teri brought up that movie. It was alright, as far as I remember. It was a long movie and I was already tired as it was. I actually went to bed quite early for the first time in a long time. It was much needed.

So the good news, for the moment (since good news for me last as long as long as Headley carrying a box of knives safely through a balloon festival), is that if I get accepted to culinary school, my financial aid at the moment looks as if I only have to pay $260 of my tuition and I can get covered for everything else. I hoping that works, as well as maybe getting some extra money so I don't have to work that much.

School should be fun. At least I'll be interested in what I'm learning for once. I won't have to sit through early, hour-long classes learning about Hammurabi or stupid stuff that will only help me if I end up on a game show, during the "lightning round."

The only thing that sucks is that I'd have to commute to Hollywood for school. I hate having to be dependent on a vehicle. I heard that this city is planning on doing something about that. If I heard correctly, they are making a rail system that goes from downtown to Culver City and maybe to Hollywood. Finally, the city-planners are actually thinking. It makes sense to spend millions of dollars on a rail system to help out our ridiculous traffic situation, rather than expanding the freeways and building new ones.

If we didn't have a car, it would save us $450 a month. Much needed for other things
