Ras Dashen is v. good. In Uptown. There's also Ethiopian Diamond right down the street and it's good, too, but I like Ras Dashen better.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Art Crawl!!!
Kat - congratulations!
Are you able to check out insurence stuff for UCLA via their website? I mean, it's a state org so surely it's all there, right? Or possibly has links to the right places.

And there's a great one right down the street from my new place. If I ever move in, at least. Argh. At this point, I'm halfway ready to just say to hell with it.

It's the same insurance company that I currently have. I wonder if I can just call and ask?
Noah has been king of the bodily fluids today. 30 minutes before I left for my interview, he pooped all over himself, the couch and me (in my interview clothes). It was typical and somewhat expected, but seriously.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, my power animal is the Naked Mole Rat! Sweet!
Woah! That is so cool.
That's not fair! I got giant octopus but wanted naked mole rat, or, if possible, the three toed sloth.
I would've been very happy with the giant octopus myself. Smartest invertebrates in the world and all that. Though the three-toed sloth would be excellent too. You have algae growing on you!
ita, that comic led me to this one, which sent me into gales of laughter that I can't explain to the co-workers.
This is the one that set me off: [link]
I've also sent email to Someone I Know Who Is Very Famous, because Pete told me that I HAD TO let that person know about the Yahoo thing.
Is it Neil Gaiman? I think Neil Gaiman should know.

I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.
I like sushi, but still think pickled ginger is the best part. And I'm not even all that fond of ginger. Never tried pickled okra. The thing is, I can't stand the texture of okra. Does pickling get rid of the slime ? (Whitefonted for my own squick factor. I don't know about anyone else's.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes pickling gets rid of that! Pickled okra is my number two all time favorite Bloody Mary garnish. (Pickled green beans are #1.)

Hmmm. That may be worth trying then. If I ever see it, I'll give it a try.
