All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have 3 Ethiopian restaurants within walking distance. I've only been to one though. The only thing I didn't like was the honey wine. I was not expecting carbonation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have tandoori leftovers in the fridge, and they will have to do. They are VERY tasty. God, tandoori loves me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Perkins, you might see if a closer head shop or a Hot Topic has it.

It's snowing in NC? Just occasional drizzle of rain here. Don't tell my kids about the snow. I told them we might get flurries overnight and they made me promise to wake them if it snowed while they were asleep.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This was a Big Deal because New Orleans doesn't have too much by way of decent ethnic cuisine (except Vietnamese, natch).
New Orleans has a large Vietnamese population? I didn't know that. Why would that be?

I think it's because of the fishing.
(Hmm, some website says teh following:
"Why New Orleans of all places? For one, the sub-tropical climate and proximity to water appealed to the refugees who felt most comfortable moving to an environment that reminded them of home. Also, many of those fleeing were Catholic, and both New Orleans and national Catholic charities were spearheading efforts to help newcomers find jobs and housing in the city. Word got out among Vietnamese refugees that family and friends were settling in New Orleans, making it an even more enticing destination."

Also, maybe because it IS a port city. A lot if Vietnamese refugees used sea travel, rather than plane.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I saw an article a few months ago that the valedictorian at the high school in some Louisiana town (I can't remember where) was the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, and at the end of her speech, she said something like, "Thank you for supporting me and helping achieve this" in Vietnamese to her parents and grandparents, who don't speak English too well. In response, some politician proposed a law that all public school graduation speeches must be in English only.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm standing in line to get my book signed by Lynda Barry. This guy pushes to the front of the line to say something to her. It was Matt Groening.
