Queer · and · Loathing · in · America

Have to work a few hours today in the office, and I want to go to the gym and of course, I need to go vote before I head down there. (We are having congressional and state elections today) Fortunately, my polling place is a short walk from the Lost Apartment--and actually is the school on the block where Paul and I used to live (and where Chanse still lives). I may take the camera with me since I have to cross Coliseum Square to get there; a lovely park here in the hood that doesn't get near the recognition it deserves for its beauty and tranquility.

And I am so looking forward to watching Tina Fey's debate performance on Saturday Night Live tonight.

And a week from today is the signing at Garden Distict that officially launches the Last Minute Author Tour (LMAT). It's from 1-3. As I am only doing this one, one in Atlanta in two weeks, and Houston in late January, I would highly recommend you ordered a signed copy of Murder in the Rue Ursulines from Garden District Books. You can call them to order at 504.895.2266; fax it in to 504.895.0111, or shoot them an email at gdkrewe@aol.com. (And make sure to say hello to the Fabulous Deb, the Awesome Amy, or the Terrific Ted when you do!)

Although I am still hoping to make it to Southern California for LMAT, I don't know if I am going to be able to pull it off. But one never knows.

The plan for today is to come home from the office and work on some stuff while I watch college football. I need to check today's schedule to see what games are on. And I am off tomorrow, which is cool. I am going to try to get some more writing done then. Next Thursday I am moving into Casa Mysterioso for a few days as well. Woo-hoo!

I also need to do some serious picking up around this dust bowl. Sheesh. New Orleans has to be one of the dustiest places on the planet. And maybe I can get to the windows tomorrow. That would help tremendously, I think, in making this place seem more clean. (It's hard for a place to look clean when the sun is shining through windows covered in dirt and dust.)

We also now have a lot of movies on hand to watch from Netflix--The Mist, The Brave One, Metrosexuality, The Quiet American--and when we are finished with those we are trying out the television series Jericho.

Just full of excitement today, ain't I? Bore, bore, bore.
