Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Online teff shopping: [link] . I've also often seen it sold in Ethiopian restaurants.

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

I've seen teff at Whole Foods. I've also seen whole quinoa there, but never quinoa flour, though I can't really say I've been looking. For a while, the Watergate Safeway was carrying teff, but I haven't seen it there lately.

Our wings are not tired.

Sigh. I miss Hugo's. And I also loved a place called the Upstage Cafe on Wilshire that has long been replaced by a Denny's. It was in the Wiltern and had splendid ometettes.

Any LA-istas remember a place on Melrose in the 80's called "Gasoline Alley"? My gawd I spent more nights at that place...and I was so broke. Their little tiny mochas were $2.75 which is a fortune, but they were so good. And Sharon (the owner) was awesome.

I miss LA a lot sometimes. Can't believe I haven't been back in almost 2 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, steampunk does not cover Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic style. I will grant the possibility of post-apocalyptic timing, but it's still a Victorian/Edwardian feel. Not mid-late 20th century.

Nifty that they have all them black folk steampunking it up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It is that rarity, a phenomenon with the potential to capture a wider audience, offering a genteel and disciplined alternative to both the slack look of hip-hop and the menacing spirit of goth.

Jilli is "menacing"?

Theo - I have some T'eff. I got it at a local Health Food Store - It's Bob's brand. I had zero luck doing injera with it the one time I tried. But I have a different recipe to try out, so I hold hope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even Tomorrowland is steampunk now: [link] The original concept turned retro, so they went way back, I guess.

geez - the crap I find cleaning out things. I've been dealing with magazines for the last week, mostly old Budget Living and ReadyMade with the odd craft mag thrown in, but tonight I found the Village Voice 2000 Best of New York article. Oct, 2000! I haven't gone out much at all since 2002, why the hell do I have that. TRASH!
