With you on the bodily effluvia aspect, I was soaked in urine for about ten hours myself. And GB, there will never be respect from the bozos, don't hold your breath. See y'all in the city tomorrow night. One 9 year old cat, two 12 year old cats, on cat who will be 20 in March.

Really, I'll leave if I have to but it's no vacation, not an easy thing, I'd like some understanding and respect for that and I want it to end as soon as possible. No electricity is better than cat drool and shit. Cat drool and shit just curdle your will to live. The horror, the horror... 3 cats, 2 old–yeah, 3 reasons to not want to evacuate anytime Nagin gets an in-charge fit.

I was so traumatized reading about The Girl's misadventures with cat poop that I read the whole thing aloud to D who looked so horrified through the entire reading, with the occasional giggle. Although ours went off relatively smoothly, evacuation is a tragicomedy of anxiety and uncertainty, and I really don't want to repeat it this year. I'm with ya on burning everything and moving to Chicago. Holy … shit, woman.

You, too, Miss G Bitch. If it gets close, bring the game to my house. Like Loki said, you can't take us Pirates anywhere. And once we're in there, it's really hell getting us to leave...

Like Loki said, you can’t take us Pirates anywhere.
And once we’re in there, it’s really hell getting us to leave…

I've done more to rebuild this town (with my own hands and tools) then any of those bureaucratic flap jaws, so.... ...I pulled up in front of my door and darted inside with my bags of crap, as the police and guardsmen began to peer around the corner at me from the 5th district headquarters, next door. As I got to the top of the stairs I became aware that: I really had to pee, because there was no place to stop since Hammond. All the power was on and my loft was completely unchanged. I could see all four blocks of my corner from the front window and lights were on everywhere. So... I stuck my hand into the bathroom to turn on a light, and as I flipped the switch, all the lights in the enitre neighborhood went out. So if anybody asks, it was me who broke New Orleans. I used the very last watt and burned the system. This is obviously why none of us should be allowed to come home without proper instruction, preferably by Ray Nagin AND Warren Riley, on How To Take A Piss In The Dark. After all, they've been doing it for years now. Has anybody seen the Pinesol? I'll be here, taking on water & my favorite revolutionairies, for Ike and whoever else comes down the line.

The phrase, "I didn’t need it. I’ve been tired for 3 years already. My reserves are gone." Exactly. Reserves depleted. Running on fumes, and girl am I fuming. See you soon. (Maybe, IKE permitting) I'll help you finish that last bottle of wine. I’m so with ya. The phrase, “I didn’t need it. I’ve been tired for 3 years already. My reserves are gone.” Exactly.
