I started off with the intent of writing humor; kind of like putting notes in a bottle and sending them adrift. Not that I'm especially funny, but trying to be. I believe it's a good idea to write about things one knows something about, so I write about being a girl, growing up in New Orleans, sex, psychology, and whatever creeps into my awareness at the time. Even sports. There's no particular chronological order I'm subscribing to. I love New Orleans; it was an interesting place to grow up in; and blessed with a panoply of interesting characters. My recurrent characters, the Prophetess, the Lucky Dog Guy, Crazy Chester, the Ninja Fairies, the assorted street corner preachers, cops, and others are based on New Orleans types. Although we're a bit insular; we learn at an early age that we have to take an active part in making our lives interesting, and that if we do, life can be fun.
Yes, a former Governor of Louisiana had a stripper girlfriend.
I mean no harm to anyone. Even when I go off field with my opinions.

Why did so many people get so shook up about a former prosecuter and television news harridan accidentally exposing a breast while dancing?

What do the Occupy Wall Street People have as a plan? Have they worked anything out? Or is it a "Look at Me" moment?

I'm glad Amanda Knox got off. The legal case against her didn't seem to make sense.

"Moneyball" is a great movie. "What's Your Number," not so much. I'll go see "The Ides of March" sometime.

There's a cute little girl song in "Moneyball."

Wht not try the AJC? It beats the Huntsville Times like a drum!
Thus far no Occupy Huntsville movement, unless it's the habitues at Hooters.
Great stories. How about more of The Prophetess, Angel?
THe OWS people are attention whores. Al Sharpton made their scene.
"What do the Occupy Wall Street People have as a plan? Have they worked anything out?" - I think they have the same plan the Republicans do ... complain a lot and hope someone comes up with a plan they can argue won't work.
"Why did so many people get so shook up about a former prosecuter and television news harridan accidentally exposing a breast while dancing?" - Because they'd finally discovered something about that individual that was almost worth watching.
Elvis, I'm addicted to the Tee Pee because of the local New Orleans news. But the AJC has nice features.
Heidi, I see them as an amalgamation of discontented people with individually-felt objections not necessarily shared by all. Al Sharpton seems to enjoy the strategy of getting in front of groups like that in hopes the media will designate him as their leader.
Bilbo, Maybe the OWS group are Cartesians: "I complain, therefore I am."
I don't see Nancy Grace as a maternal figure.
Al Sharpton is as inevitable as poison ivy.
