The diet is slow going.<br /><br />Very excited about NOLa.. I'd take it over Florida definitely.. Berkeley though yes.. Berkeley/ SF Bay is home for Sean and I was happy there... I consider it home, too. I don't know if we'll ever get to move back however.<br /><br />If I didn't live downtown I don't know if I could live in LA.. Downtown has history and a sense of self and development at least. Things are going on. <br /><br />Berkeley and New Orleans were very comfortable for me.. Berkeley more-so (though it's a bit more Republican than I expected when I first moved there.. all those hippies grow up to be business owners you know..) Luckily there's the San Francisco culture/way of life and it's very easy to live with that. <br /><br />Is the ECCO Anthology a good one then?? Maybe I'll add it to my list for this year..MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-13426465298047321612010-02-12T16:40:03.329-08:002010-02-12T16:40:03.329-08:00When you post, you really post! This one is chock ...When you post, you really post! This one is chock full of information!<br /><br />Congratulations on your diet success so far. I think your May goal is reachable and I'll be rooting for you.<br /><br />It must be difficult having a cupcake store right across the street.....and within eyesight from your window! In fact, downtown is full of temptations and all that food is one of the things I most miss.<br /><br />We've talked about New Orleans over coffee and I know how much you love it and miss it. Still, would you really take NO over Berkeley? Have you forgoten the heat and humidity? What about the bugs?<br /><br />I hope you post about your trip while you're taking it. I'd love to read about your adventures there. I don't mean to give you homework, but it sure would be fun to read about your journey.<br /><br />I've added LA Noir to my reading list. I'm currently finishing up The Ecco Anthology of Contemporary American Short Fiction. It's the book I had in my hand at Borders when the earthquake hit. I could have walked out with it, but I put in back in its place before I left the store and returned two weeks later to buy it. Does that make me honest or stupid?Joe Cornishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266386826380763370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-5515785592815457432010-02-12T11:58:57.066-08:002010-02-12T11:58:57.066-08:00=) thanks!

Yeah, seems like there is always someone out there catching stuff before me.. <br /><br />Opinions are important and you're right.. everyone has their own angle or way of looking at stuff. I honestly hadn't thought about that. That's the point of blogging isn't it? Giving another point of view.. <br /><br />Thank you again!MeekoRousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551589891224879887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687932.post-90545417664599914522010-02-12T11:24:23.048-08:002010-02-12T11:24:23.048-08:00Happy New Year to you too! One thing about posting...Happy New Year to you too! One thing about posting, you always think someone has covered it, maybe "better", but usually that's not what matters. It best to do it yourself, give it your spin. I know I often don't post something that's been covered due to thinking the way you are. But when I push myself and just do it, it often turns out I had a take others didn't. Just my 2 cents. <br />EL CHAVO!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07283516035457445200noreply@blogger.com
