Happy Eid!

It's Eid al-Fitr, and a day of feasting! If you like fanfiction, then you should check out eid_ka_chand's ficathon of stories featuring Muslim characters, which is going on today through to tomorrow (so there's still time to take part).

On my way to work, I took ojouchan to the Eid services at the LA Convention Center. Last year, we got lost for a while because we weren't sure where in the convention center Ojou needed to be. This year, we'd done our research, and expected the drop off to be quick and painless.

When we got there, though, there were streets blocked off all over the place. "Is that for you?" I asked, worried that there might have been some sort of threat that required far more extensive security than last year. But at some point while I maneuvered the streets, we realized that the roads weren't blocked for Eid, they were blocked for the Emmy Awards, which are to be held at the nearby Nokia Theatre later tonight.

I'm sure Ojou will be regaling us all with her wacky stories of production assistants failing to deal with Muslims near their precious red carpet.
