I have issues finding good, cheap seafood in LA. Other than that I'm pretty happy.
(But oh, Captain Scott's Lobster Dock, how I yearn for thee!)

You can't fling a dead cat in this city without hitting excellent Italian but Mexican is, strangely, impossible. LA arguably has much more ethnic variety.
Aha! I'll get Mexican at the Ferry Building. Problem solved.

Oh, I know. And they're good kids, really. They just don't have the perspective to see why this makes them look like jingoistic know-nothings.
Mexican! Don't talk to me about Mexican. There's a chain of Mexican restaurants in the area, run by Mexican-Americans, the food of which tastes (to me) worse than Taco Bell. Seriously.
Okay, powderpuff game over. Almost homeward time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Suddenly, your Best Friend Forever stops talking to you. Other girlfriends won't eat lunch with you. Nasty lies pop up in cyber chat rooms. Do you curl up in a ball in bed? Or do you start dishing dirt, too?
Neither. You take back the power, God-style. That's Nancy Rue's message to tweens in her latest book, Girl Politics: Friends, Cliques and Really Mean Chicks, from Christian publisher Zonderkidz.
Rue, who lives outside Nashville, is a former teacher, author of 105 books for girls aged 8 to 12, and a long-ago victim of girl bullying. Rue spoke with the Star about tween-age girl torturers and her own emotional scars.
Q: There are lots of mean dudes. Why girl politics?
A: Girls have their own brand of meanness. They do more shunning, gossiping, starting rumours. The incidence is happening at younger ages. It used to be during the middle-school years; now it's girls 8 years old. Girls are maturing faster and society is encouraging them to grow up faster.
Q: Using the Bible as a guide to deal with really mean chicks, isn't that a stretch?
A. Not at all. The Bible is a marvellous tool for dealing with relationships. Jesus was constantly bullied by the Pharisees, who were basically a clique.

See, I know she means that God, but I can't help thinking of Glory.

I'm not going to petition for best pizza, but I do love my neighborhood Italian restaurant. Homemade pasta, nom nom. Torte de la Nonna to DIE for!
I'm just glad you can finally get good coffee in So Cal. When I first moved back after college, I was so sad about the coffee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
All I can say about food is that the Chicken Pomodori Panini I just had from Corner Bakery Cafe was delish.
Slow night in the ER last night, and this month has been emotionally draining already. I feel a bit at sea. Some of the things I thought of as forever are a bit wobbly right now, and I have to work very hard (ironically) to not let it stress me out, because that'd make for headaches, and that would stress both of us out.

Jessica's health department concerns would seem to be well-founded.

Take a whip to them??? No, that was the moneychangers.
