I wonder how Ann Rice is doing.
Anne Rice sold her Garden District mansion in NO. She bought a home in La Jolla, CA. She may still maintain some kind of residence in NO, but I think she got tired of all the fans visiting.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like picture 25:

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Now I'm wondering when Tulane cancelled classes. During the time I was there, there was one storm where there were "New Orleans will be under 50 feet of water!" predictions on TV when it was in the Gulf, and the school kept sending us emails saying, "We're monitoring the storm, and it's not going to be a problem, so everyone just stay put." By the time the school finally said, "OK, this storm doesn't really look like it's calming down any, classes tomorrow are cancelled, evacuate if you can," it was too late and there was too much traffic to be able to get anywhere. (One of my friends called her parents and told them to sue the school if she died.)

I remember reading that she bought a house in Metairie (a suburb of NO.)

Because books.
Anne Rice sold her Garden District mansion in NO.
That's actually kind of disappointing.

disappointing is her middle name.

What is even happening?
Actually, her middle name is dissapointing, but she wouldn't let anyone point that out to her.

There are hundreds of people blogging the hurricane right now. I think I'm going to blog the coverage. The STUPID coverage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Shit.
A resident inside a camelback bungalow in the Homedale neighborhood in Lakeview on Monday at 9 a.m. watched street floodwaters rise above the porch steps as he also battled water pouring down his stairwell from a second-floor window blown out by high winds from the west. The homeowner said floodwater had not yet come inside his home but was rising. He said he planned to move with his dog to the second floor and pray.
That would be right by my parents' house.

Went and read the Wiki article on Rice on a whim just now. The bit where she bites off the heads of her Amazon detractors is unintentionally hilarious.
