talk of the town

im writing about "drunkorexics." the term is a mix between drunks and anorexics. mix the two together and you have a person who counts their calories saving them throughout the day for alcohol rather than food in order to be able to party hard but still maintain or lose weight. im gonna bring up how most of the people viewed as drunkorexics would be college girls. ill talk about why this could be like why they would fit under this category. also is it just about the college life or is this actually a disorder and dangerous?  also will talk about the skinny girl margarita and its kind of symbolic of a drunkorexic- an alcoholic beverage but low on calories so its all about maintaining your weight. could this aid a drunkorexic? is this a risky fad or an deadly epidemic?

book club

the beginning of the book seems organized the middle seems jumbled then the end seems organized again. could this be a hidden deeper symbol like for new orleans before the hurricane then the damage it did leaving it in disarray and then being put back together and back to its greatness? i dont think so. i personally dont feel the author is going that deep with this. i think he more just writes with train of thought process and not really deep thinking like this symbolic idea. also this fits into journalism because there needs to be relevance which there is because i still consider katrina and the  aftermath still relevant and also has to hold importance which i also think it does especially because its in our very own country and that also makes it pretty personal and it has to be about a who what when where and why and the author describes all of these throughout the book with all of his lists etc.

Book Club 2

The author of Why New Orleans Matters is pretty repetitive and the way he writes seems like it's his train of thought rather than thoughtfully organized. He describes new orleans as like some electric soup which was cool. It was a memorable and creative description. He also talks about how people in New Orleans actually wave and say hi compared to New Yorkers.. It's more of a beautiful jumble compared to New York's sharp tall buildings. New Orleans is filled with hole in the wall, amazing places to eat and listen to music.
