New Orleans

You know, I’ve never been to New Orleans. It’s looking hideously like I’m never going to get the chance, at least not to see the old city; the part that makes it Nawlins. I don’t even think I know anybody who lives there, but everyone I know is talking about it. I can’t help thinking about the article about New Orleans and force five hurricanes that TNH linked to last year, and how they’ll probably never have the chance to save the city now. If, somehow, the city survives, I’m…

stats, 8/27

But it was good, too. :) Back on track in the morning, with five days before weigh-in, so hopefully if I’ve done damage I can mitigate it. It’s going to be hard keeping on points after a couple days of splurging, so if…

recital! rejection! r…that’s all I can think of.

Last night I went to my friend Jai’s bellydance class recital, which was lots of fun. Everybody looked wonderful and did a good job with their dances, and I really liked Jai’s number a lot. Very fun! Everybody was clearly having a great time, even when they were nervous, so yeah, was good. I’m glad I went. :) Another rejection on ANGLES this morning (not from Tor, though). Snif. Though I must say, it’s much less disenheartening to have your agent tell you it got rejected than to open the…
