Democratic frontrunner (or underdog as he would like to be portrayed) Barack Obama graced Tulane University with his presence this morning speaking at Fogelman Arena. He seems to know what both students and New Orleanians want to hear and delivers it admirably. No talk about healthcare besides talking about building a new hospital downtown, no talk about the war besides a thank you for our troops. The speech was about the future, about hope, about change. It was about righting the wrongs of a broken government...Obama stuff. I captured the half of the speech. Enjoy the speech from a 5 o'clock perspective.

Yesterday there were no classes for MLK day. In the late afternoon I went over to make some dinner. The previous day we went to Whole Foods on Magazine to pick up some mushrooms, tomatoes, feta, olives, basil and samples, but couldn't make dinner that night due to power issues.

1 sun dried tomatoes, halved
1 portobello mushrooms, chopped

1 large cube sheep feta, crumbled
olive oil, salt, pepper to taste
salt, put a few drops oil, water. add fusilli upon boil and cook 12-14 minutes upon reboil. in large pot dice tomatoes, mushrooms. heat up in saucepan until tomatoes get happy. drain juice. drain pasta when ready, turn heat on low. put pasta back in large pot. liberal use of good olive oil. add tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, crumbled feta, and parmesan cheese. Mix slowly, and serve immediately. Serves 4-6, w/ leftovers.
In other news, we had a party last Saturday night, and this is what the scene looked like a few hours before people showed up:

Mid Week Update
Classes have begun, and its back to the daily grind. The first week is always tedious as there's no material being taught, just syllabi, background info, and whatever the professor wants to fill the rest of the time with. I only need 10 credits to graduate, so I'll be pruning my schedule a little.
Earlier today, went to for a delicious King duck po-boy at Crabby Jack's with some friends. Other items we ordered were the blackened gulf fish and stuffed mirleton. All tasty and swimming in sauce.
A new season of American Idol begins tonight, so that'll probably become a staple of my Tuesday nights for a while. I always enjoy the talent search part of the show more than the produced studio performances. I do hate the music they sing 97% of the time, so what makes the show watchable? Well the writers' strike for one, but also something about Simon Cowell's opinion...you just want to hear what he's going to say.
As for what I am going to say, its anyone's guess.

Classes Start Tomorrow
Pumped that the Giants are still alive, they just might be able to win one more game...Classes start tomorrow and this is what my schedule looks like:
AM - Econometrics
PM Ethics / Darwin Fenner Student Managed Fund / Energy Fundamentals and Trading
I'll be pretty busy- I already have an assignment for tomorrow to read a paper called "Does the Stock Market Overreact?" by De Bondt and Thaler.
Player some poker today and was +3500 after some good hands held up. In hands where I risked most, I was an overwhelming favorite, except once on the last hand of the session where I made a bad call with AA to give back some. I withdrew a bit and probably won't play till next weekend.
