I must say we're planning on getting hitched at sunrise on a beach in Kauai, then macadamia nut pancakes and Mai-Tai's. Now, as clearly romantic as rousing your sleeping friends and drinking the worst malt-liquor beverage in the world is...I think I will tough out the family hassles. I'm clearly a glutton.

what it is
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away
Yup, I've fallen into posting song lyrics.
Later: CNN is playing Randy Newman's "Louisana 1927" over their hurricane video montage.
Fox is playing a cover of the same song over its video montage, but...

In the high and dry French Quarter, 48-year-old Jack Jones said he would resist if authorities tried to force him out of the home where he has lived since the 1970s.
While the streets were strewn with garbage, rotting food and downed power lines, Jones kept his block pristine, sweeping daily, spraying for mosquitoes and even pouring bleach down drains to kill germs.
Jones said the sick, the elderly and people who lack supplies should be evacuated-- but not folks like him. He has 15 cases of drinking water, a generator, canned ravioli, wine, coffee and three cartons of Marlboros.
"I've got everything I need," he said. "I just want to be left alone."
This guy's my man.
I don't care. I still say Merle Haggard would make a great Supreme Court justice.

Thanks!
It was a long time coming. Commercial real estate is the province of scumbags, I'm afraid. Lots of developers and agents with slicked-back hair, shiny new pickup trucks that have never carried anything but bad intentions, and others who want a free ride with no risk.
Going shopping for a replacement building should be interesting, if not vastly entertaining.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I couldn't agree with you more.
I've been working to bring back, "Rad" for a couple months now. I'm actually beginning to make some progress.

I got beat at 4 out of 5 hands of Crazy Eights tonight by a five year old, and now I owe him $200. Of course, when you raise a kid in New Orleans, he really only has two career options: card shark or pirate.
Drinking whiskey out of jelly jars-- does that say "creativity," "poverty," or "alcoholism?" Four law students in New Orleans eagerly...

All the same, 15 foot ceilings sound pretty great. Falling plaster, I will concede, doesn't strike me as charming, though. 
What's weird about Greece now is that they're taking all these ruins that have been lying about and standing them up again (still in pieces, but, well, cleaner and more upright). I can't get used to my old neighborhood anymore.
You know, despite all the fun I had at C of C, my one regret is that I somehow missed every chance I had to visit the Big Easy with my student friends.

That would be awesome having a Pirate child. He'd be all: "Yarrrrrghhh Mommy. Put some bounty in me pockets ye skallywag!"
So the other day I'm thinking to myself, man. I have substantially more free time to read for fun, but I can't think of a single book I want to read.
Then today, I get a belated birthday present from my aunt. It's a book-- the unabridged journals of Sylvia Plath. So great, I have a book to read, but I have to wonder-- what...

i just read the CE thread about cheney and the f-bomb. i just had to stop by and tell you that you rule.

Thanks. I think I'm making the right decision so we'll see what happens.
Hopefully she'll come around...But i'm of half a mind to just drop her. I've been alone for a lonnnnnnnng time so i'll probably keep going out with her. But this game she's playing is so stupid and childish.
I don't have her email and can't leave a voice mail as she doesn't have a phone or any means of getting in contact with her outside her Aunt and Uncle who she lives with. So...i'm just going to wiat for her to come back to her senses.

Y'know, I keep hearing about how lethally fat Americans are getting, and I think it might help if the place in my neighborhood that rents scooters to morbidly obese tourists wasn't right next to the Krispy Kreme stand. I guess it's profitable, but... man.
Then I go up to school, where I'm pretty sure the freshman curriculum requires a Practical Application of Eating Disorders course.

probably just a fucktard....
prnkstrss:
thanks for the kind words
Not to brag, but I got all of my grades in, and I did much better than I did last semester. Whew.
And tomorrow night, we will honor Ray Charles by drinking mint juleps (I know, it was the Clovers who originally did the song, but still) and playing every Ray Charles song on the jukebox at Molly's.
Final thought: Can anyone tell me who...

Just read the thread and my jaw hurts from the abrupt fall to my keyboard, I cant believe he got zotted for that. I thought he was giving a pretty fair and intelligable argument (even though he might have missinterpreted the MLK letter). I find that the Israel threads usually end up with someone getting the boot.

The first rule of Zot Club is, we don't talk about Zot Club.
I'm rather staggered myself.

My car is making a noise I have dubbed "the death rattle."
Stupid Swedish engineering; only goes 240,000 miles.
In other news, is anyone else more than a little (for lack of a better word) impressed with all the travelling Reagan's corpse is going to do this week? I'm sure it's getting the best embalming money can buy, along with top-quality refrigeration, but man-- they're...

Well for as many people as there are sad to see him go there's as many who want to make sure he's dead. So i guess they figured they should cover a lot of ground this time.
