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

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

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Try not to worry too much, Dana. You know storms are weird -- one house can be flattened and the one next to it fine. Hang in there.

Does the Wiki article explain why she has a male name? I can't even remember what it is (George Allen keeps coming to mind).
not really here. Really working.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
At first I thought it was someone pranking Wikipedia, but other sources confirm it. This link says that she was named after her father.
That Wiki article about Rice is impressive. Since articles with a POV are deleted, writing something that snide while giving the outward appearance of neutrality is quite an accomplishment.
