[livejournal.com profile] 30toseoul lives in NEW ORLEANS. She has some pretty amazing stories and photos from living through Katrina. I keep scrolling back to find them and getting distracted by all her other great links...from teh hawt pr0n to things like this...

I love this. I also love how earnest people want to tell her what any particular show is REALLY about. Also, I did not know that David Tennant has a squint?? (there are photo links) and apparently Jack Davenport has a 'squiffy' eye. I have stared at Jack Davenport A LOT and never noticed this (alleged) flaw. Also, I will refrain from punning at this point, it's a gimmee.

a link to an article about a murder/suicide that happened near where [livejournal.com profile] 30toseoul lives, and her response - both evoking fascinating imagery of New Orleans 'street'.

Katrina entries start about a month ago, btw. Er, start as in go backwards. So I guess they END about a month ago. There are PHOTOS. And anecdotes about having to throw away all their fridges cos the maggots just come back no matter how much you scrub them.


Also, now that I have BEEN TO AMERICA I know that New Orleans is actually pronounced 'NOR'lens' And also, I am totally going to NOR'lens next trip.

Gosh yes, you must go to Nawlins! I fully regret only spending a few days there, when there is weeks and weeks of cool things to see and do.

Will check out the LJ, thank you for the link!

Weeks and weeks? Really? Even with all the rebuilding that will no doubt still be going on?

I regret not having time to venture outside of the city itself - to the various plantation mansions, and trips out to the bayeaux, and other day trip thingies. I regret not going to any nightclubs or music venues.

(This in the mid nineties, of course, well before the tragedy of Katrina.)

You didn't go to the bayeoux? OR THE CLUBS? Are you sure you went to New Orleans?

Also, that spelling mistake could have happened to anyone lying on their side in bed with their computer tilted at a 75 degree angle.

Oops it's after 10am, I should get up. though in my defence, it is REALLY only 9am. Stoopid daylight savings.

awww, you are gorgeous. *pets you*

I spent nearly all my New Orleans time stalking vampires, hunting ghosts and creeping around voodoo crypts in cemeteries.

Hee! I'll be hanging out in the cemetaries :) Voodoo freaks me, though.
