Today I did "normal" stuff in New Orleans. Went out for some Dunkin Donuts in Metarie, drove by some old places I lived (a couple were destroyed in Katrina, that helped me understand, just a little, what it must be like for people who live here now), went for a walk around uptown, got a haircut and beard trim, shopped for groceries and went to a movie at a local theater. Tonight I'm going to read a book, and get ready to travel back to the Bay Area tomorrow. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Earlier this month college students from Ohio came to New Orleans to help with the cleanup. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Mini-review of King Kong -- Yuck! I didn't like it at all. 98 percent action, 1 percent acting, 1 percent bad acting. Lord of the Rings meets Spiderman meets Indiana Jones meets Jurassic Park meets Titanic. 3 hours of unrealistic death-defying crap. Totally over-rated. I almost walked out eight times. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Then I went to see what Yahoo says, and even though it gets super-high ratings, they do not recommend it for me. Should have checked before I went. I gave it a D. (Even though I do love Naomi Watts. What a waste of a great actress.) Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Eric Rice spies the water line in some of the New Orleans pictures. It's amazing how the eye doesn't see it for a while, and then you see it all over the place. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
