This post cracked me up. I have to say that I just sit back and laugh at the panic that ensues any time there is a storm coming now. Living in NOLA and working in the Coast Guard, I just can't help but wonder when people will get tired of panicking over every little fart of wind.
I know how bad Katrina was, but really? Feeding the panic monster will only eventually desensitize people, kind of like the little boy who cried wolf.
Yeah, that's okay, I can only imagine what life is like in N'Yoleans. I drove through there on the way here and it was sort of surreal, all the billboards calling people to act on their charitable impulses, all the pictures of hurricanes advertising prompt news coverage. I was like "didn't this happen a long time ago?"
Sort of eerie, but eerie in the way of like "You people are fucked up, but I understand why you are fucked up. I am sorry for you. At the same time, I'm fucking out of here."
i dunno, Fay isn't a very fear-inducing name. maybe if her name were different, you'd be under higher risk of dismemberment. Fay just makes me think of an old lady who plays a lot of bridge.
hey i don't know but i'm terrified of beehive hairdos.
also i started reading white noise today and i'm tempted to add that to my list. i'm also finishing moby dick and i'm tempted also to add that also. but you know, you can't really count it until you read the whole thing, so, there's that.
It's true though. "Fay" is like a sweet old auntie who you visit in the summer, who lets you eat dessert for dinner and sings you a lullabye at bedtime. "Katrina" is like the Russian mail-order-bride who moves in with your dad after your mom dies and makes you eat potatoes and garbage for dinner and kicks you to sleep.

I was reading moby dick through the white noise of Fay being fey she whispered, "Prick." and walked brushing by my doorway. What a bitch I thought and turned back to dick to make a little headway. It's an easy trip ignoring Fay.

Sorry. Bit of a rant there. :D
