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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Vietnamese community in New Orleans is so tight-knit that they recovered pretty quickly from Katrina, even though many of them live in New Orleans East, which was hit hard.

In response, some politician proposed a law that all public school graduation speeches must be in English only.

OK, see, this is why I don't like to go to other parts of Louisiana.

Also, I would like to get to Dong Phuong Oriental Bakery for a bahn mi and pho and some pastries.

Cool! Please tell Lynda she's awesome for me. "My friend David says to tell you that you're awesome."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank you, msbelle!

Also, I learn SO MUCH from Buffistas. IJS.

hip deep in pie

I am now craving Ethiopian.

I went to a craft fair today and bought 2 pretty mugs. Oz just broke one of them jumping up to get the empty cat food can. I was very mad for about 30 seconds, but let it go. Interestingly, Oz seemed unfazed. Most of my other cats seem to sense when they've done something that could get them in trouble.

Also, the tree lot that delivers hasn't set up yet. It was pissing rain here today, but it makes me anxious. I want my tree!

Ethiopian food is my favourite, bar none. I haven't been able to find a good cookbook for it, or I'd try making it at home. There's a few Ethiopian places in London, but we love the first one we tried, so we're sticking with it (and have since heard it's the best one anyway). If any Buffistas visit, it's totally where I'm taking you.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Since my lesson was canceled, I've put the time into making gingerbread, buying most of my family Christmas gifts, and watching the snow through the window, while the cat snuggles with me. As alternatives go, this one is not bad at all.

I love Ethiopian food but haven't had it in a while. There's a pretty good place on Haight Street too.
