I've sworn off IKEA textiles. I've had way too many bad experiences with them. (Most recently, the backing of a bath mat melted and stuck to my bathroom floor, and when I pulled it up, several sections of the rug stayed attached to the floor. I was able to get the fuzzy part of the rug off, but nothing I tried got the backing off, and even when I hired a cleaning company to clean the apartment when I moved out, they couldn't get it up, either.)
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
DJ- found out some stuff. YES, Parasol's ownership is changing hands, and yes, the buyers are from Florida. I mentioned the part about the franchising, and the bartender didn't know about that, but did mention that they'd been coming in taking pictures of every square inch.
The Parasol's crew will be heading up a block to Third and Magazine under a new name. Last day at current location is, as previously reported, August 31.
I did eat a roast beef po'boy, though, and Tom did drink a bunch of Miller Lites. I drank mojitos (ok, and a G&T and a beer) and am drunk and bummed.
Ugh, why does my apartment smell so stinky/stale? I work very hard to not have that happen!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, did we know you can buy all the old office furniture off Mad Men? [link]

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Well crap. If the franchise thing is true and "Parasol's New Orleans" start springing up like so many Olive Gardens, I will...I don't know what.

Because books.
All the New Orleans talk makes me so nostalgic -- I was only there once, for five days, but I loved it like cake. Really, really delicious cake.
I spent most of my time in the French Quarter, because that's where the conference was, but I did take the streetcar and go over to the Garden District one day. I've been waiting for a chance to go again and explore it some more ever since.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I actually moved to New Orleans for a while. The job didn't work out, and I moved back to Michigan. When I went back in January for my cousin's funeral it was bittersweet for many reasons. I got to experience some very New Orleans atmosphere, but it really made me miss it. I'm glad that most of my family that lived there eventually moved back after Katrina. It really looked like they were going to settle in New York, but their love proved too strong.
