Brite Claims Gustav "Fun," Abdicates Responsibility For Everything
There was text missing in my last post. It's fixed now; please reread it if you want it to make more sense.
From an e-mail to a journalist who felt bad for "bothering" me about an interview deadline during a hurricane:
Compared to the events of 2005, Gustav was only an inconvenience -- one that we probably needed, in order to prove that we could get through it. We had no personal damage except part of a fence blown down and the loss of a few things in the freezer. When hurricanes aren't tragic, their aftermaths are actually kind of fun -- you're so busy just keeping yourself alive and defending your property that you get to temporarily abdicate from all your other responsibilities. It's kind of like an anti-Mardi Gras.
