Mardi Gras season officially begins January 6. Often referred to as twelfth night (of Christmas but we only do Christmas on the 25th), it is the eve of The Epiphany. We celebrate with a walking parade in honor of Joan of Arc.
From there there's countless celebrations, parades, balls, etc leading up to Fat Tuesday which this year falls on February 17.
So yeah, this is accurate. For us the holiday season doesn't end until lent.
Edit: that isn't to say we don't celebrate New Year's but everybody is already getting ready for their Mardi Gras activities.

Somebody jumped in front of the train. I only caught it out of the corner of my eye and I thought it was a suitcase at first. I couldn't fathom that it could be a person. I actually got on the train but when it didn't move it dawned on me what had happened and then someone else confirmed it. Everyone just stared at each other in disbelief and then we all silently excited and went on about our way. Fuck, I completely forgot about that.
Weirdly, when I finally got to my destination there was a nun on a stretcher being rolled out of the building by EMTs. Strange day.
I read an interview with a zoologist which described cats as evolutionarily perfect. Their dna really only varies primarily for size. All cats all over the world have survived with no need to seriously adapt to their environment.
It didn't matter what I going off to do, my mom would always say "have fun." I always remember that because it's good advice. Try to enter every appropriate situation with the intention of enjoying yourself.
Not trolling. I don't find his solo work without Quincy Jones that exceptional. Granted the Jones stuff is amazing but Michael wasn't able to replicate that on his own.
Only two and one co-written on Off the Wall and three and one co-written on Thriller (although they are bangers). He did write most of Bad but anything outside of that is imo sub-par. I'm not denying he had a lot of talent but I think he's far from a virtuoso.
Yes apparently
