Whew! It’s 1:17 in the AM and I’m just about to head to bed after a long day of school work. I’m not taking very many classes this semester but the workload is outrageous! I’ve been attending IUPUI for about 3.5 years now and I can just start to make out that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
So, I’ve got folklore on Mondays, poetry and Russian politics (hey, they’re no longer offering Intro. to Puppetry, true story!) on Tuesday and Thursday, guitar lessons at Guitartown on Wednesdays, and Literature for Adolescents on Thursday evening. All the other days seem to be spent at the Blue Ribbon Barn or downtown freezing my arse off.
So, I haven’t really spent alot of time in the Irv lately. It’s a shame, especially with the crazy weather we’ve been having, I’d rather hole up in front of my fireplace and play Fifa 08. I remember once this past summer when I managed not to leave Irvington (10th Street, Edmondson, Emerson, and Brookville) for two solid weeks!
However, amidst my travels to and from the Big City, I have picked up on a bit of Irvington intrigue of a certain political nature. Two Irvingtonians are running on the Republican ticket for the late Julia Carson’s seat in the House. I won’t disclose their names just yet but I will say that one is a father of four and the other is a 26-year-old woman. They are both longtime Irvington residents and members of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. Although I have never voted Republican in my life, I’ll have a hard time choosing between these two as I believe they would both do such a fine job. Stay tuned for further info…I’ll definitely be following this story in the coming months.
Other than that, I’ve got nothing for ya. My wife and I have been looking to buy a house and I truly believe it’s driving us crazy. The last one we looked at had blood caked all over the floor in the living room. It looked like someone had been murdered there. Beautiful hardwood floors in this unique Irvington bungalow...my ass.
Oh yeah, one more thing, I’m thinking about getting a beagle. There’s a guy in Owingsville, Kentucky that has puppies for 50 bucks a piece. Road trip?

Yes, but think of the stories you have as people visit.
“Over here are the built in cabinets, that’s our fireplace, and right there is where a pimp popped a cap into his crack whore because she was holding out.”
You could possibly get the house on the Irvington home tour!

You got the beagle. I know because it keeps me up at night. But gosh…Elmer is so cute!
