Lately, I have found myself fighing insomnia. I'm not quite sure what causes it, but there are times when I get a magnificent high from the lack of sleep.
I submitted my first guide entry, New Orleans, Louisiana - History. New Orleans is one of the most fascinating places I've ever been to. It's one of those places that either touch your soul or alienate it. I would like to write more about the city, and I plan to whenever I can.
I also have to admit that I miss the UK. Which is more or less how I stumbled upon this site, just browsing through the BBC. It is an alien place to me, not hostile, just alien. With my French roots in tow (I grew up speaking French in Louisiana), it's hard for me to get my arms around some of the cultural concepts that confront you when stepping across the ocean. In France, I felt at home, as if I'd lived there all my life. It also fascinates me, but for the opposing reason that it's not so alien, that I understand it. I do miss la France.
In the meantime, I will listen to my mp3s, smoke a few cigarettes and explore.
