random tangents

Katrina...the name would normally invoke the image of a mail order bride from a former russian state..."god protects stupid people"--we all hope so...for those who chose to stay in nola...
cletus, god is calling...pick up the phone...no, not that end....

talk about good luck...imagine being on vacation for 4 days to visit your family a 10 hr. drive away...then you hear about a massive hurricane heading towards your city of scholastic and many jovial means...we'll just say that my flight scheduled to send me back to nola on monday was cancelled. just to give a quick update: everyone i personally know has evacuated, and whoever is left[tourists and other locals that couldn't get out] have been escorted by police to the superdome to take shelter...luck, prayer and voodoo are all the city can cling to now...let's hope it works, if you got them now would be the time to bring out the live chickens and the candles. right now, i am working on getting a flight back by tuesday...tulane is apparently scheduled to start classes on THURSDAY!!! now THAT is a GOOD ONE!! HA![from my knowledge of the city, their pump system for flooding, and their infrastructural capabilities...IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!!]

i am working on building up a journalistic urge[trying to keep the panic at bay] so that you guys would see what i came back to...am getting my digital camera fixed this weekend.
in an unintentionally dramatic mood, now we can only watch and wait...it's not so bad the weather channel's jim cantonie[?] is HOT!!
