I just had a Moment. One of those moments that makes life seem so deeply and utterly enchanted that I feel it run down into the capillaries of my lungs, squeezing so tightly I might just cry or shout or faint - or update my livejournal, apparently.
Please, if you can my dears, listen to the This American Life on New Orleans (thislife.org). It will only take an hour and, good lord, escaping from the microcosom of college is important. Hearing the voices of New Orleans, displaced or otherwise - quite something. The show ends with a most remarkable story of a most remarkable elderly woman surviving eight days trapped in her house - on her floating mattress.
And then they played Modest Mouse's "Float On."
