Accept no substitutes, The Bulldog, is where it's at. (And, yes, you can bring your Bulldog, Doberman, Shepard, or tea cup Poodle to the bar.) With a rough, but shiny hardwood interior that cries out "pub" rather than "bar," this locals joint has fifty different beers and ciders from around the world on tap, and several more exotic varieties still in the bottle.
The exterior has been redesigned since Hurricane Katrina with a unique fountain feature that's sure to warm any beer lover's heart. Proceeds from the fountain are given to the local SPCA, but if you really want to help fido out, then you should come on Wednesday's, order a pint, and keep the glass it came in. After you rack up enough of them, you can bring them back, and they'll donate even more!
And while I'm not a big drinker (an occasional sucker for a Woodchuck Amber), I find that the food here, like almost everywhere else in New Orleans, is fabulous. I highly recommend the Amber fries. Get the biggest portion available as you'll probably end up having your friends steal all your fries.

Food Review: Creole Creamery
A friend took me to this "New Orleans original" just this past Thursday for a post-movie treat. As I'm quiet the crackwhore for any type of ice cream, I was completely game. With over 20 flavors, Creole Creamery boasts hand-made, one-of-a-kind flavors like Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake, Chevre, Chocwork Orange, Cookie Monster, and Drunken Kiwi.
In fact, there's an entire case dedicated just to their large variety of chocolate, and chocolate variant, flavors. Apparently most customers have such an issue trying to decide on just one or two flavors that a mini sampler (up to 6 different flavors) can be purchase. But if you think "mini" isn't going to satisfy your fix, I highly recommend the "Tchoupitoulas." (Don't worry if you can't pronounce it, as you'll need all your oral skills to try to finish eating it!) As it has 8 scoops of ice cream and is topped with 8 toppings making more than a mouth full for even the most die-hard lover of ice cream.
With a classic soda-shop interior, complete with bar stools and a counter. The walls are adorned with nostalgic New Orleans memorabilia and various print accolades. If the humidity outside isn't too bad, you can dine cafe-style in the front of the store and watch the Garden District's elite mill by.

Food Review: Voodoo Barbque (Southern Louisiana)
Voodoo Barbque has emerged as a chain of bar-b-que joints throughout the Southern Louisiana region. They have taken the place of such chains like "Luther's" who collapsed after Hurricane Katrina. The food featured is very home-style with a distinctly New Orleans feel to it. I recommend their beef brisket.
You can check them out all over, but the best one is on St. Charles.

Food Review: Taqueria Corona in Metairie, LA
Taqueria Corona ("King of Taco Shops", or "King's Tacos") is a fine treat that's been raved about in Gambit, Zagat, and numerous other publications locally and nationally. Currently with 2 locations, both the Uptown and Metairie restaurants offer authentic Mexican cuisine that's delicious, but won't bust your wallet. (I recommend the Chicken Enchilada!)

Food Review: Corky's in Metairie, LA
Corky's Bar-b-Que is located on the main strip in Metairie, Veteran's Memorial Boulvard. The restaurant might normally be passed by as it appears to be just another "fast food" chain when you're driving. But don't be confused, this place offers delicious options that you can't get at any Burger King or Mickey D's. (I suggest trying the overloaded baked potatoes or the onion ring loafs!) The prices are also reasonable compared to the portions given, so don't worry about breaking your pocket book either.

Food Review: Oki Nago in Metairie, LA
If you *love* a good Japanese buffet, then Oki Nago is the best place for you! It's an all you can eat Japanese buffet with hand-made sushi, and cooked to order hibachi included in the price. There's also all kinds of seafood offered. The prices are also great considering what you're being offered, and it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!

Food Review: China Rose in Metairie, LA
I originally knew them as Ming Palace before Hurricane Katrina. I loved them best for their Crab Rangoon and Beef Fried Rice, and for the super late night hours that they kept.
China Rose has since bought out the location and continued their originator's tasty tradition. With an expanded menu, and new decor, the Metairie location offers all delights of it's predecessor with merely a change of name.

Where the Wild Women Go...
I've kind of been hiding out under a rock lately, and I sincerely apologize. I actually sold my super-duper-neato camera to go on a trip to NYC last month, so a lack of pictures has meant a lack of posting.
I've also been doing a plethora of stagehand work lately on projects I should probably be reporting on as well. I'm hoping that in the next month or so, I'll be able to afford a nice, slim, el-cheapo camera to take with me on my day-to-day excursions.
With all that said, if you want to check out some photos I've taken on past travels. Try my free stock photo account!

Take a "Cheesy" Journey...
For those with fromage on the mind, you're probably already familiar with the likes of Gordonzola. A cheesemonger who's been "working for the past 12 yrs with San Francisco's largest independent grocery store." He definitely has a lot to say about curds n' whey.
Recently he returned from a week long buyers trip to France and took some MAGNIFICENT pictures of many of the factories that produce some of the most popular imported cheeses around.
My personal favorite, the mimolettes getting a brine bath. (I'm drooling on my keyboard right now.)

Get with the picture...
I've managed to accumulate a lot of photos in the past 5 yrs. And I'm not talking some "myspace-worth" shots either. I know that I'm one of many people who when they travel, or just leave the house, and see a gorgeous sunset or a nice bit of nature, that you feel compelled to take a photograph. Eventually these photos start to overrun your hard drive, and often spill over into external drives. You don't want to delete them, but at the same time, you need to put them "somewhere". I'd suggest you'd do, what I've been doing for 2 yrs now....Sell them online.
How?
While you might not be the next "Ansel Adams", many sites will broker a nice picture of a skyline because someone out there needs it for some proposal, broscure, etc. These sites off the images "royalty-free" meaning that when they're purchased, you get paid a percentage of the sale ONCE for the duration of their license on the image. Meaning that you won't get a check for the rest of your life, but also that the person who bought it, can only use it while they have the rights to it. The image itself is owned by you unless you make a different arrangment with the company.
It's not necessarily a get-rich-quick scheme, but it's not impossible to make an extra $100 here or there depending on the quality and popularity of your images. And the only thing that's required is for you to fill out an "independent contractor's form" and provide a certain number of images that meet the website's standards. The "auditioning" process can often be the most tiresome portion of the whole ordeal, but should be accepted, will be a positive lesson in your favor.

I signed up for socialspark!
My blog has continued to grow over the past few months, and I'm hoping to make things bigger and better in the months to come. Right now I'm out of classes for the semester, so I have the next 3 months to focus on writing and traveling without having to worry about what paper or test I have due next week.
This summer I'm hoping to make it out to AnimeNext in Newark, NJ, and spend a few days over in Brooklyn, NY. During this time I'm hoping to make it out to some of the local cheese shops in the Manhattan area (Artisanal, etc), and see all the stupid touristy sights, with my local friends. Kind of sad that I've been up there nearly 3 times now, and I still haven't really seen the city.
**Just went and ate at House of Blues in the Quarter. Their ceasar salad w/ blackened chicken is to DIE FOR! Totally tangy/zesty dressing!**
I just signed up with SocialSpark. Their the new kid on the block in pay-per-post advertising. (They're actually owned by the same people as payperpost.com, Izea.) They're trying to incorporate paid posting and social networking one site and making it more and more likely for news and tidbits to go viral. The site shows a lot of promise!

Got Smorty?
This blog's updates are definitely picking up! (About time too! I've been totally slacking the past few months.) But now that I've joined this new great site called Smorty, I should be updating fairly reguarily.
It's a service that connects advertisers with bloggers, and makes it easier for them to receive blog advertising. Advertising on blogs is a new trend in the marketing industry that has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past few years. I remember that I thought people were crazy when they told me that they get paid for blogging?
And now everybody is getting money to blog? (Where was I at?)
I highly recommend joining Smorty if you're looking to find advertisers for your blog, and/or make a living blogging!
Just think! Wouldn't it be cool to be an on-the-road travel blogger! And now you can be by setting up your own blog and joining sites like Smorty!

Top 10 Thrill Rides at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida has a lot to offer with 4 official theme parks, 2 water parks, 2 minature golf courses, Downtown Disney, and numerous hotels and other attractions, but for the seasoned thrill seeker it's all about speed! And Disney is more than prepared to offer it. Each park features it's own glorified heart-stopper, each one is unique with a singular backstory and imaginative surroundings. Yet there's so much that Disney has to offer that it often makes it's difficult to figure out what's worth seeing, and what can wait till the next trip. So I've complied a list of the best edge-of-your-seat rides that Disney has to offer!
1) Test Track, Epcot
Test Track is my personal favorite, so that's why it got the coveted number one spot. But don't believe that I'm playing favorites here, Test Track is the fastest ride that Disney currently offers at any of it's theme parks worldwide. It clocks in at speeds over 60mph on a 50-degree banked curve. (Try it in the rain, it's even more fun then!) It's also one of the few rides that doesn't have a ridiculous wait in the busy seasons since it has a single rider line, and each car can fit people, and multiple cars can be on the track at any given time. The best times to ride this ride however are when Epcot first opens in the morning, and right before the park closes. I suggest catching it during Illuminations, you can often ride it 2-3 times in row with little to no wait.
2) Expedition Everest, Animal Kingdom
One of the only rides at any of the Disney parks that half way through actually goes backwards and does a hill climb! The ride itself is the tallest of all the parks, hitting 199.5 ft high! The ride's queue has an extensively detailed backstory for the ride with numerous props and a vast array of information about the area. It also features a single rider line with a smaller, but similar backstory that's outlined. This ride is one of the busiest in the park, and also has a tendency to suffer downtime due to maintainance issues as well. I suggest either getting a FastPass during the busy season, or going with the single rider option.
3) The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Disney's Hollywood Studios
Part of Disney's recently renamed theme park, "Hollywood Studios", Tower of Terror has some of the most imaginative theming of all the rides as a lot of the items you see inside the hotel were either used in the Twilight Zone series or reference a particular show from the series. The bellhops also have the distinguishing honor of wearing some of the most expensive costumes out of all the Cast Members-$1,000 each! The elevator itself is actually accelerated downward so that you're not actually freefalling, but feeling a pull stronger than that of gravity. The ride itself often has long waits no matter what season it is, but your best bet of getting to ride is either when the park first opens, or during one of the showings of Fantasmic.
4) Aerosmith's Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, Disney's Hollywood Studios
Featuring 3 inversions (a loop, a roll-over, and a corkscrew) this ride is the second fastest ride in Disney World and can accelerate from 0 to 58mph in 2.8 seconds. (However you could get stuck upside down as this ride has a tendency to experience "technical difficulties" a lot.) This ride also has an awesome gift shop at the end featuring some great Aerosmith merchandise. This ride is located next door to Tower of Tower and often experiences long waits due to the proximity. I suggest getting there early as the ride tends to have mechanical problems later on in the day.
5) Mission: SPACE, Epcot
The only ride at Disney that features a motion sickness bag because the spinning effect used to create the "blast-off" force in the ride often gives rider's motion sickness. Due the rides intensity, a second version that doesn't spin, has been introduced and dubbed the "Green" experience. The opening sequence for the ride features actor, Gary Sinise. Due to the rides propensity to make people ill (myself included), the "Orange" or "Spin" version of this ride often has a short line. The "Green" version however is prone to long lines in the busy season.
6) Splash Mountain, Magic Kingdom
Splash Mountain is the only log flume ride on this list, but it's also the only one with 52 1/2 foot drop too. This ride is a combination water and dark ride where half the fun is trying not to get wet. (If you're riding in front, duck during the drop, it'll soak the 2nd row.) The only downside that this ride has is that it's constantly busy no matter what season the park is in. Your best bet is to try to make it to the ride when the park first opens, or grab a FastPass early in the day, and visit another ride or show in the meantime. This ride has also been recently renovated to offer a single rider line.
7) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Magic Kingdom
The second in the trio of "Mountain" theme rides that the Magic Kingdom has to offer, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of the only rides that's offered at all of Disney's theme parks. It also boasts a long line as it's next-door to Splash Mountain, and many people opt to ride Big Thunder so that they can avoid the possibility of getting wet. Your best bet is to get a FastPass for Big Thunder, and ride Splash instead, if you plan on riding both.
8) Dinosaur, Animal Kingdom
Loosely based around the Disney TV-series of the same name, Dinosaur is a fast-paced, dark, motion ride through time featuring very scary dinosaurs. This ride is often considered to be the most scary ride at Disney, often getting screams from both adults and kids alike. This ride does however have a lot of jerks, sharp turns, and a few drops. If you're scared of the dark, this definitely isn't the right "thrill" for you. The wait for this ride however is generally light due to the subject matter and it's reputation, so don't expect a long line, even during the busy season.
9) Kali River Rapids, Animal Kingdom
The only other water-based ride on this list, however this one is less about thrills, and more about getting you soaked. It does however feature a 30 foot drop, but it's the knowledge that your cellphone is in your pocket when you get douse by a rouge wave, that will have you scared. In the winter the ride has a shorter line, but during the summer months the ride's wait can top well over an hour. The best times to ride are when it's already raining, or it just stopped, or on days when there's big events going on at other parks.
10) Space Mountain, Magic Kingdom
"Why is this ride dead last?", some of you may wonder. That's because while this ride offers some bigger thrills than others on this list, it also needs some of the biggest maintenance as well. It's been on Magic Kingdom's "Renovation List" for almost 2 years now, and it's possible it might be there even longer as it's a huge draw for Magic Kingdom. The ride is an amazing experience, but if you do ride it before it goes under Renovation, I'd suggest trying to ride the "Right Side" (you'll know what I mean when you're in line), as the ride's issues are less severe on that side. The ride also has some of the longest lines of any of the rides in any of the parks, with 75 to 90 minutes being about an average wait for the ride. You're only bet is to try get a FastPass before they sell out, or hope that the line isn't too long when you first enter the park in the morning.
1) Test Track, Epcot
Test Track is my personal favorite, so that's why it got the coveted number one spot. But don't believe that I'm playing favorites here, Test Track is the fastest ride that Disney currently offers at any of it's theme parks worldwide.

My hobbies include...
Going to the gun range and popping off a few rounds with my Black Pistol Grip, Mossberg 500 .12 Gauge! And if you're ever in the New Orleans Metro Area you should go to Bayou Dragon Gun Range & Paintball Field at 7625 Barataria Blvd., Marrero, LA 70072! (Yes, they have their own paintball field!)
It's a great range, with low fees, friendly staff, and lots of space in your stall. You can also choose to bring your own targets, and you can rent firearms already available on the premises.
But I highly recommend that you bring your own gear before attending any range. And the best place I've found for holsters, conceal carry pouches, and other survival/tactical gear is LA Police Gear. Don't believe me? Just look at this sweet safariland holster!
Oh, and don't forget to get your Blackhawk Cap with any order over $125!

But I highly recommend that you bring your own gear before attending any range. And the best place I've found for holsters, conceal carry pouches, and other survival/tactical gear is LA Police Gear. Don't believe me? Just look at this sweet safariland holster!
