Nora, a non-foody thing I've enjoyed in New Orleans is going to the French Market and looking through all the little flea market-style book and curio dealers. Also, just strolling around Jackson Square to see the sidewalk artists and street performers.

There's also the Voodoo Museum over on Dumaine.

In comic strip news: Bizarro was funny today and Sally Forth makes an obscure R.E.M. reference.

I saw that in the Sally Forth. Man, I hate that comic strip. She's so frikkin' smug.

Oooh, any other hated strips out there? Besides Cathy. That's a given.

I'll bet you're not setting your computer on fire in order

I find having banks of hamsters running in little wire wheels provides me with all the power I need. Run, my little minions! Run!

Syndicated comic strips in general need to die. They're an obsolete 20th century institution.

Btw, lisah, before our family packed socializing last weekend, JZ asked her Dad to describe her brother's new girlfriend.

He was extremely vague but we had some sort of impression that she might be a bit like you physically. As it turns out - she was! And very cute. And very cool. It seemed wildly improbable that JZ's bro would find somebody with positive lisah-esque attributes but he did and we're pleased.

Not that she impinges on your specific and unique awesomeness. Just a bit of physical resemblance and warmth, intelligence and good cheer. And a tat.
