Well, Gustav appeared to avoid Houston all together--smart. I wouldn't come to this craphole, either. New Orleans is a little more fun and even has a drink named after it's species. The best part is all of this over-dramatized news coverage. Like, for example, a hot, concerned, wet Anderson Cooper has been providing minute-by-minute updates on the damage, rain, flooding, wind speed, etc. He scored an interview with Senator/Future President Barack Obama, as well, grilling Senator Obama with such pressing, provocative questions, such as, "What do you think about the Republicans criticizing you and saying the Governor Palin has more executive experience than you?" Our Future President had a very thoughtful answer, and also made a point very well.
My friends and I visited one of the touristy, annoying destinations better known as the "Kemah Boardwalk". It is a popular location for people to take their hyperactive children, high schoolers to gather and cause mayhem, and for couples to have a very special date moment. There are restuarants, carnival contests, carnival rides (including a roller coaster) and various souvenir shops. Now, since this is southeast Houston, it is also 95 degrees and fully humid, from the water. Fortunately, my hair remained perfectly "CHI'd". However, there was still this layer of filth that landed itself upon me. It is one of the most annoying places, as there are people everywhere, too. Many of the people are either trying to appear more trendy and on par with "Young Hollyweird". It's filthy, slimy, and disgusting there. The only food options are seafood, obviously, which would have worked about 4 years ago for me. Thank Goodness for French fries.
