I be Tumbling!

by CajunKate

So I know I haven't had time to write on this here blog. Between my class and my internship, I have come to the realization that any blog posting will probably not be happening until after May 8th (end of the semester). BUT that doesn't mean you can't keep up with what's going on. I have a Tumblr. It is cool because I can post short blurbs about what I am up to, so if you are missing me on this here blog, you can always check out my Tumblr.

Still, there are some big events coming up (Gabe's birthday party, NEW DAIGLE BABY!! [estimated delivery March 25], Easter, etc.) that I will do my best to blog. However, I make no promises. It's semester crunch time, and I haven't found the time or energy to blog when it was just regular semester time. *le sigh*

Show Me Your Beads!

by CajunKate

So last night I went to the Krewe of Bonaparte parade. Check it:

The secret is to point your camera at float riders. They then think you are actually taking their picture and pelt you with beads. Awesome.

And for those of you who couldn't be there:


More Mardi Gras madness as the holiday progresses!

Remember THIS Guy???

By BDaigle





Back at the beginning of January, I went to see the Cajuns play UNO at the Lakefront Arena. It caused me to reminisce. I have bad memories of the Cajuns playing UNO in basketball when I was a kid. UNO always brought a ton of fans to games at the Cajundome and they were obnoxious. When we would go to see the Cajuns play at the Arena, it was dark & smelly and there were a lot more of those obnoxious fans. The worst part though was their coach. Tim Floyd. Tim Floyd spent most of every game coaching from the free throw line in front of his bench and never getting called for it. He stomped his feet. He yelled at the refs. He taunted the fans. He was OBNOXIOUS. He was a poor man's Bob Knight without any of the class.

Anyways, Tim finally got a college job again a few years ago after bombing as an NBA head coach. He's still the same old Timmy. For those of you who know Cajuns fans who suffered through the Floyd years, this is sure to bring a pained smile to your face.
