ZOMG YAY WACKY HINDU GODS LOL



I am just gonna post this picture whenever my life feels too fucking ridiculous to handle. Because nothing is more ridiculous than this picture.

Dear friends, as if it wasn't stressful enough that I'm covering for two people at work right now plus being directly supervised by the office bully, the wee sister and I are heading off to a Family Reunion for the weekend. This would be fine if it were Paternal Family, who are all very dark and warm and jolly and love each other. Unfortunately, it is Maternal Family, who all put on airs and talk about how wonderful they are and carry grudges until death. They're like Lucille Bluth and Emily Gilmore but without the fun and compassion.

... Okay, not *all* of them are like this, but there's a distinct meanness to them that I'm not looking forward to.

PLUS we will be in rural panhandle Texas, in a little dry town (a DRY TOWN! And us, West Indians!! This WILL NOT DO) in what I assume will be sweltering heat.

WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS

I was baffled when I went to chicago for the first time and saw Vodka in the grocery store... :D :D :D :D

TN has the weird liquor laws. Not only do we have some dry counties (including the one where Jack Daniels is made), but we have a strange system of where you can sell different types of alcohol:

beer: grocery stores, liquor stores
wine, liquor & high alcohol content beers: liquor stores only

And if a liquor store wants to sell regular beer and high alcohol content beer and wine and the rest of it, they have to separate the regular beer from the rest of it... bwah!?!

But you can make and drink moonshine anywhere as long as you don't get caught. XD
