might find my dream just west of New Orleans

And we're back. I haven't even attempted the friendslist yet; still trying to catch up on the RPage. So if there was anything over the past week you think I should know, you're probably best off linking it here.
New Orleans was... interesting. Occasionally too many mirrors for my liking, but what d'you expect when it's half the ingredients to Genua? (Discworld thing, for those of you scratching your heads.) Fuller update tomorrow, if I can manage around the kitchen-tearing-apart.
Am rereading GO and have some observations for the community at some point.
OH! People who have read Jingo, a song you will want to download/otherwise find: "You Can Call Me Al" - Paul Simon. I've loved it for years but after reading the book it's so much FUNNIER. You'll know what I mean when you hear it.

Okay. So. ( New Orleans. )

Mom's gonna make me life-graph artwork! Brilliant! All that work with Quoteage! will make narrowing down the really important ones easier. While I'm on the subject, quote hunt: There's a line in Say Anything that's something like, "Don't be a guy. There are lots of guys. Be a man." I'd like to have the exact wording for this thing, if anyone's got it handy.
I think I might be posting something to the writing LJ later. Unrelated to those remaining challenges, though.
ETA: I think the campaign fire's back.
