A LIL ABOUT ME…

What is your character’s full name?: Estelle Lee Carter.

When were they born?: January 15, 1993 in Nawleans.

What are their parent’s names?: Landon (father) and Ava (mother).

Do they have any brothers or sisters?: No other blood relatives (maybe half-siblings on their father’s side, they’re really not sure at this point), but they do have one step-brother, Chetan Gupta.

What kind of eyes do they have?: Stelly has hazel eyes that always seem like they’re up to no good. Twinkling, clear and very vivid.

What kind of hair do they have?: That depends on their mood. Most days just straight, dark brown hair, but they tend to shake it up a lot; locs, curly, wavy, anything.

What is their complexion like?: Stelly has immaculate skin; very well taken care of and soft and clear. She was born into a mixed family and has skin somewhere between medium and tan in tone.

What body type are they?: Naturally slim, a little athletic, but with curves.

What is listening to their voice like?: Stelly has a somewhat smokey, deep voice that resonates. It’s pleasant, but also kind of sexy.

What do they hate most about themselves?: Who has time to hate themselves? They’re maybe not fond of their inability to ever let things go, though. And they hate when their mom says, “you remind me of your father.”

Do they have a favorite quote?: “You are either getting better or getting worse, but you are never staying the same.” -- Drew Brees.

What sort of music do they enjoy?: A lot of 80s music, some rock, some pop, jazz music -- they love jazz music.

Have/would they ever cheat(ed) on a partner?: Nah, they’re not the type. They haven’t done a lot of relationships, either, to be honest.

Have they been cheated on by a partner?: Not that they know of.

Have they ever lost someone close to them?: Technically, Stelly counts their father leaving as a ‘loss’ since they don’t really want all that much to do with them.

What is their favorite sound?: The sound of their mother singing in the kitchen while she’s making a batch of jambalaya.

Are they judgmental of others?: Not really. But they do have an epic resting bitch face that can make it seem that way.

Have they ever been drunk?: Yeah, of course. Not as often as one would think, but it’s definitely happened.

What are they like when they stay up all night?: Not much different from what they’re like when they don’t!

Have they ever been arrested?: Not yet.

What evokes strong memories for them?: Mardi Gras. Also, the scent of fresh beignets, since they lived really close to one of the best shops to grab beignets in.

What do they do on rainy days?: Edit photographs, to be honest. No better time to catch up on work than that!

What religion are they?: On good days, Stelly identifies as agnostic. But they do lean towards atheism more than anything.

What word do they overuse the most?: “Yep,” followed closely by, “coming right up.”

What do they wear to bed?: That fully depends on the weather, but normally a pair of shorts and a sweatshirt, unless it’s really warm, and then underwear and a sports bra.

Do they have any tattoos or piercings?: They have a fleur de is tattooed on the back of their neck and several piercings in their ears. At one point their septum and navel were pierced, as well.

What type of clothing are they most comfortable in?: Anything black; but black jeans and a t-shirt with a loose cardi over top is normally a good wardrobe to find them in.

What is their most disliked food?: Stelly, disliking food? Not all that common. They’re not super into salads of any kind, though.

Do they have any enemies?: Maybe not enemies, but definitely people that aren’t fond of them and people that they aren’t fond of in return.

What does their writing look like?: Like basic handwriting, but maybe a little ‘old fashioned,’ since their mother worked really hard with them on writing when they were young.

What disgusts them?: Cruelty to animals.

I’m excited for stupid reasons.

I’ve been reading about developments in battery technology lately. Because I wholly believe in a future where pure electric cars are possible.

And I’m really excited about the types of energy storage I’ve been reading about that will allow a vehicle to go as far as one that uses internal combustion before needing a recharge, and can then be recharged with electricity. Very quickly. And safely.

And some carbon-aluminum batteries fit that mold. There’s other candidates, and there will always be, but these carbon-aluminum batteries are said to charge sixty times faster than lithium ion. Do you realize how big a difference that makes? Sixty times?

That’s one minute with the new model that would’ve taken an hour with the old. That’s 12 minutes for letting the damned car from ‘05 or ‘07 recharge overnight. That’s FUCKING amazing, my bros and sisses. And with greater mileage than an ICE because of the way electric vehicles can handle stop-and-go, you’ll save fuel just idling vs. an ICE.

Making batteries out of abundant, environmentally safe, recyclable materials that fulfill the needs of long range motorists? That’s amazing. That’s ideal! It eliminates all downsides of cars and enhances the benefits of having them.

If and when these parameters become a thing, who knows. I’d really like to try my hand at an automotive vehicle model and concept. I want to make an electric car as IT-stupid as it can legally be allowed to be- I want an electric car that can’t go on the internet by itself, but might offer access as a conduit for laptops and shit (but doesn’t, in itself, interact with wireless internet in its machines or programming, in any way)

I want as analogue but advanced an electric car as it possibly, mechanically can be. You know the sort. Like a fucking Toyota Hillux. I want a real man’s electric truck. Something that could survive being washed out to sea without the electrical or batteries corroding. Something that could’ve survived getting flooded during Nawleans in the flood of ‘05. You clean it out, turn it on, maybe it sputters a little but like a fucking zombie starts back up and roars.

Something that is minimal. Could be Junior’s first graduated golf cart to get around town; I don’t fucking care. Something just sturdy enough to protect from a bad crash, but still costs what a school kid could make in a year at a job at the mini-mart. Kind of vehicle that’s like a pair of cheapo sunglasses; hard to destroy, does its job, and you’ll eventually upgrade it, but if you’re ever in shitty times you’ll always appreciate it can get you from A to B, even if it falls apart and needs to be put back together again every time you park it.

That’d be the niche a Rametarin brand electric truck goes for. It’ll be ugly and boxy and if you’re hoping to only upgrade to a more expensive, luxury vehicle with some style when the wheels fall off, you’d be better off just selling it after you’ve gotten something better. No status symbol unless you’re the sort that sees utilitarianism as a badge of pride. It’ll get you to work and it’ll keep the rain off when you’re cruising around the countryside on a road trip. That’s it.

And fuck. The model would only ever change to meet new minimum safety standards, and would pre-emptively change and sacrifice aesthetics and style just to meet them years in advance to keep said models suitable for the road, decades into the future. Even if that meant introducing widgets that operate independently, in place of a central computer that integrates into the car itself. Because again, I want my machine only ‘hackable’ the way an analogue car engine is, ‘hackable’ over the internet; in that, it won’t be. You’ll have to tamper with the electronics and chips in person, not through corrupting firmware. Even if everything about this fucking deliberate junkwagon was proprietary, from the battery to the casing.

Outside that, it’d just be The Same Truck it was since the initial model. The only real difference might be the technology for the energy storage that changes, because the technology for the electric motor would be designed as able to handle loads at a gradient, from standard sized batteries to absolutely ridiculous capacity. Be it a battery of today’s size, or a mysteriously source of electricity that for some reason has the charge and capacity of a fucking industrial facility. So parts for it in a catalogue would be the same shit they were for someone’s grandfather, as for them. Widely available, time tested, ubiquitous, available. Cheap.

Can I just point out that these men weren’t just being shits and exploiting people going on Christmas vacation to steal all their expensive shit and ruin their holidays, but they were also plugging up their drains, turning the faucets on, and exiting the homes. That’s why Kevin wades through that flooded basement out of nowhere. It’s a home the Wet Bandits already hit.

Want to know what METERS of water left on FOR WEEKS in a basement with plugged drains does to a foundation? Ask the good folks in Nawleans about mold, mildew and the cost of your foundation weakening. It absolutely destroys the worth and value and integrity of a building. These people didn’t just ruin their Christmases, they ruined a source of familial WEALTH. Not just stole it, but DESPOILED it.

It takes a certain breed of shitter to not just rob you blind, but on a vulnerable time for many. But the kind of sadistic bastard that ruins your house’s value to you and your kin and the ability to not only live in but sell it- that’s just fucking monstrous. In the coldest time of the year, no less.

These bandits are lucky it was Kevin with a BB gun and not a local townie with a shotgun, because they deserved every broken vertebrae, burn, contusion and abrasion they sustained in this story.

Kevin is the real villian in Home Alone

Nola Knows Best -- Day 4

Recap of Tuesday, March 21st. "I love this fucking city," exclaimed Bevo as he emerged from the bathroom after hacking at 5:30 AM. What a start to the day. Just the boost we needed to have a rip roaring Tuesday. Morale was incredibly low all day with the exception of five minutes that will be explained later in the post. Our day kicked off with a below average hotel breakfast and tequila shots to accompany. Three hours of everyone showering led to what you think would be an epic pregame, but with the morale where it was I don't think anybody had more than two drinks before leaving the hotel. Lunch at House of Blues with an odd but friendly waiter was promising, everyone enjoying their food and the surrounding company. Following lunch we walked down the strip to Frenchmen Street with a plethora of pit stops. One of our first stops was quick at an Irish pub called Ryan's. Had to do it. Car bombs and we were out. Lindsay took a dookie in the Visitor's Center and things were looking up. Then came Willie's Chicken Shack. Everything was just dandy until Kyle and I had some more than sudden bowel movements. Fortunately enough, both bathrooms were out of toilet paper. The reason we know the girl's room was out of TP is because Kyle couldn't wait for me to finish so he went in there with Lindsay standing guard. Kyle had to waddle, pants around his ankles, from one stall to the next in the girl's room to get some TP for his bleeding asshole. Before I forget, these were the hottest bathrooms of all time. We came out DRENCHED in sweat. My stall was also dry in the TP department, leading to Tucker bringing me a huge wad for my also bleeding b-hole. A surefire sign we needed to leave, so we moved on to bigger and better things. A stop at the extremely dirty Mississippi River produced some solid pics, and then we saw the Nola version of Magic Kingdom. We walked through the French Market where Lindsay finally got her damn crepe, Peter and Kelsey bought spices, and we saw a homeless woman dig food out of the trash to feed herself and her dog. Post-market we walked to a jazz bar to listen to an authentic Nawleans band, while being barked at by some homeless people along the way. The Pelicans game was terribly uneventful, resulting in our leaving at halftime. Back to the hotel for the casino pregame, and believe me when I say this was the only time morale was high all day. So high that when we got to the street to cross over to the casino, we all sprinted to the front steps. All smiles, this was OUR NIGHT. Or maybe not. Everyone got absolutely railed. Talk about our tails between our legs on the way out. Our tails were curled so hard I think they could have wrapped around our bodies once and raped our ass harder than the casino already had. The hotel room was a tragic scene - distraught and full of regret. Today we have no plan other than going to bars at Tulane. Morale is picking up as we speak. Bright eyed and bushy-tailed, I think today is going to be a shit show.
