Hard Times in the Big Easy. Monday, March 05, 2007. That Voodoo That You Do. Okay, listen, I’m sorry! I’m really, really sorry.

Just take the curse off, please. I buy a house, renovate it, and it floods a month later before I can even move in, destroying all my books and most other possessions with it. Neverthe...

Hard Times in the Big Easy. Wednesday, September 13, 2006. Anniversary Wine and Air-Conditioning. In the meantime, I spent all my time on the phone talking to FEMA, Loyola, two different mortgage companies, two different insurance companies, and various credit cards and banks, all in an effort to get my little life in order. When not doing that, I sat on the phone with whiskey in hand, tracking down friends. To Katrina, floods, and governmental incompetence. Two bottles down, one to go. Links to this post.

Hard Times in the Big Easy. Wednesday, January 03, 2007. Stepping Over Lamp Posts. Now, while I had no reason to doubt Gav, my fears were deepened when the inspector showed up because he said the exact same thing. Yep, the city inspector said Entergy would lie to me and I would have to spend days on the phone with them, trying to make them find the permit he had faxed over days ago. Needless to say, this didn't bode well. I have a permit! I cried. "Right here in my hand.". I AM MOVING INTO MY HOUSE!

New Orleans News Notes. Catty comments on scribblers and note takers. Monday, April 7, 2008. Turns out local boy Dave Walker is the president of the Television Critics Associations. In this article in Broadcast and Cable. He laments the demise of the television critic:. I certainly agree that more cultural coverage is better, but Walker might want to look in the mirror to discover why his ilk is becoming irrelevant.
