• I’m Not Bukowski

  
  Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans — Authority: 416
  “I’m not Bukowski,” Ray said the other day and, no, he’s not. He’s sober, for one thing, and certainly a better writer for it. We are both about as unlike Bukowski as possible: worrying about raising the kids, shuffling the litter of bills on the counter, lumbering into work when we’d rather be reading ...

• Saintly Place Names – Avila, Edessa, Kildare, Nyssa, Siena

  
  Nancy's Baby Names — Authority: 426
  I’ve heard from parents with little girls named Avila and Siena, in honor of St. Teresa of Ávila and St. Catherine of Siena, respectively. That got me thinking–what other saintly place names might make good baby names? Of course, what matters most with saint-related names is one’s affinity for the saint in ...

  Gourmet Pigs — Authority: 521
  Po boy. There are several theories about the origin of the name (and the sandwich) but most of them agree that the name originates from "poor boy". Basically, its a poor boys lunch. Nowadays, po boy shops in New Orleans are ubiquitous and most po boys are now filled with deep fried seafood such as shrimp, oysters, ...

  Bringing the Drama — Authority: 464
  I know, more sports stuff, but really, this was cool. And after reading Brandi’s entry on blogging every day this month , I figure I’ll give it a shot too. So last night I went to my first Hornets game of the season. I had renewed my season tickets last year, and changed my seat location. I didn’t go to the ...

• Dancing Madly Backwards

  
  Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans — Authority: 416
  The old bricks of the Lafitte Housing Project are gone, leaving just a scar of tall grass and piles of dirt, a thin stump forest of new pilings naked and brown rising up like the dead cypress trees in Bienvenue and St. Bernard, like the gray leafless forest that lines the I-10 West. The good red brick, laid half a ...

• the nervewracking evening

  
  Bringing the Drama — Authority: 464
  I’ve played fantasy football and basketball with a guy I knew from Jr High and High School since probably 1999. In our football league, I am the two time defending champ, this year going for the three peat. Yesterday before the Saints/Falcons game, I was down 60 points in my game (37-97) to this guy who was tied ...

  Sapere Aude! — Authority: 133
  What would normally be an hour drive to New Orleans turned into a 2 and a half hour trip due to traffic and bad weather on Friday.  But, we made it to Voodoo Fest just in time to grab a couple beers, and catch the last of Justices set before Eminem hit the stage.  Due to the bad weather and traffic we missed The ...

  Bringing the Drama — Authority: 464
  I had signed up for the Jazz Half Marathon a couple of days before the deadline for registration. I’ve mentioned how it’s been a goal of mine since April , and even in spite of that, I was hesitant to run it. Three guys died running a half marathon in Detroit a few weeks ago , so since then I couldn’t help ...

  slabbed — Authority: 480
  What a pal!  Editilla just hung this Breaking News on the Ladder . We just got this from her sister-in-law, Sandy Rosenthal, founder and executive director of Levees.org. This doesn’t signify an endorsement of her candidacy as much as signal, to Editilla, that New Orleans Flood Safety will be first and out front ...
