Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe the bodies were stashed away by vampires for a rainy day.

They're no fun when they're already dead.

Unf. It all sounds so horrible. It's some consolation that the city's, well, still there, but ...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I imagine conditions aren't great for identifying large things floating in floodwater.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Willliams Boulevard in Kenner is flooded north of I-10 to just before the lake levee, officials said.

That's on the west side. So flooding on either side of the Quarter. (And mind, the whole thing is surrounded by water.) That's not so good

Kenner is in Jefferson Parish. See my post above on grassy neutral grounds vs. concrete neutral grounds.

I'm still gonna hold out hope that the part of the city I knew (Uptown through the Quarter) isn't getting hit too bad.

From what I've read, uptown isn't getting hit that badly.

Silence means security silence means approval

I finished up interviewing people for an open web/graphic designer position today. You know what makes me happy? When they know what CSS is.

I'm watching the WWL feed. They just showed a guy who drove into water on I-10 because "he didn't see it." The water had to be 15 feet deep. How do you not see that?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That overpass is right by my parents' house.

Timelies. Finally got caught up here after my long weekend away.

I got the rest of my furniture in my new place. It only took me 7 months. I really hope I can stay in this place for at least a year or two.

Anyway, lots of vibes heading the direction of NOLA. That's scary stuff.

If there was a dip in the road, and he started out on top of it.
