This is Jack. Jack O'Lantern...

And yeah... he (well, Alycia) stuffs his, um, you know...

Are you serious?

So I came home from the Whole Enchilada parade and sat
down to read the LC Sun News. This is what I saw...

Courthouse closes early for TWEF

LAS CRUCES - Friday's kickoff of The Whole Enchilada Fiesta wasn't until 6 p.m., but more than 100 public employees got to start celebrating early.

State District Court on Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces closed at noon Friday for the three-day fiesta; trials, hearings and other court activity originally scheduled for Friday will be rescheduled. The district attorney's office closed even earlier - 11 a.m. "in observance of The Whole Enchilada Fiesta," according to a note on the door.

It's unclear if those offices' employees will be paid for a full day Friday. Deputy District Court Administrator Mark Perea and District Attorney Susana Martinez were unavailable for comment Friday.

The 29th annual fiesta, which takes place at the Meerscheidt Sports Complex on Hadley Avenue, includes music and a carnival and culminates with Sunday's three-hour preparation of the world's largest enchilada. Admission is $3 and between 40,000 to 45,000 people attended in 2008, organizers estimated.

Other area government offices did not close early for TWEF, according to spokesmen for the city and county.

The Sun-News was able to reach state District Judge Fernando Macias of Las Cruces, who said he didn't think the closure for TWEF was new this year.

But that doesn't mean everything stops for the fun, said Macias, who didn't plan to attend due to a heavy caseload next week.

"I have too much work to do," he said.

Glad to see my tax dollars going to good use.

Test

Ok, so this is a test (I'm testing a new blogging program).

I know, I haven't blogged in months but I promise to start doing it again. Not to come up with excuses, but I got one... I've been busy! That, and I'm lazy.

I take a lot of pictures and I wanna post them in places. So, I'm gonna post pics here. Yeah, I send them to my Facebook and Myspace page (simply cause it's so easy) but I'll allow you to peep into my boring little life right here on the Magic 105 site. If you've ever thought that being a DJ on da radio would be all parties and rockstars, you're about to be quite disapointed.

So bear with me and I'll have fresh postings real soon. I promise!
