Another day glued to the tv watching hurricane coverage. I am really obsessed. I literally have to tear myself away from the tv. But I have to stop watching it. It is stressing me out and makign me upset. I have really been CNN and MSN because of their 24 hour coverage, but I flipped over to NBC for the nightly news and was shocked by the difference in the coverage. The other stations were really just getting an areal shot of New Orleans, but NBC was on the ground in the French Quarter. Yesterday morning one guy was on Burboun St with no water on the road. He was very laided back about the whole thing. He said people have even been walking the streets drinking long island ice teas. He didn't think the flooding would reach them. A couple of blocks down the road was Brian Williams standing in knee deep water! It was amazing. They really showed what it was like in the French Quarter. They even showed an up close and personal view of the looting that is going on. Policeman attacking looters, people fighting to get into a walgreens. Peopling carrying the stuff through the flooded streets. People were hysterical! It was like downtown Bagdad. It didn't even seem like the US anymore. It was like it was happening in the middle east. We have heard about this stuff in the middle east for awhile now and I really don't even pay attention anymore because it doesn't affect me. But this in New Orleans hit s very close to home. I can't imagine what it is like there. I can't believe that I was there just one year ago. I am so glad I got to go. To be able to see New Orleans before this disaster was more rare than I realized. And to think, I ended up going to New Orleans instead of the original plan to go to Savannah because of a hurricane. We didn't know how close we were.

Ok, no more hurricane coverage! No more. I am going to watch fun stuff tonight! I think I might watch Runaway Bride. That is the movie we are doing for Rehab Week and I need ideas!
