I'm reading the article about Memorial Hospital after Katrina. I'm not sure I'm quite in a strong enough mindframe to read this right now.

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

I'm glad that article was so long, because that helped me not read the whole thing. How horrific.

I finished the article. That was truly horrifying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry, Hil. That was what sent me in search of more statistics the other night. I would have told you not to read it.

Being stuck in a dorm in New Orleans during a much less severe storm was pretty damn scary. I cannot imagine how terrifying it must have been to be in that hospital.

Fuck. Crying.

There's another article in the Times Magazine this week that at least shows that something is going right and getting better. [link]

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