That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

And I have a sick fondness for B&R Daquiri Ice.

I used to love this flavour. Then I discovered B&J's cappuchino heath bar crunch and threw over the daquiri ice for it. Mmm. Now I want some, just to see if it's as good as I remember.

move out and draw fire

I should get an ice cream maker, as I now have a craving for ginger ice cream with bitter chocolate sauce, and making it by hand is a pain.

Really rude commentary on John Roberts:http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/07/luvin-john-roberts-man-oh-man-after.html

And just noting my disappointment in the extension of the Patriot Act by the House.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just realized that I pronounce Raquel with an ah sound, but Raq like rack. What's up with that?

What is even happening?

I think it might be because when you say Raquel, you put the stress on the second syllable, so the vowel in the first gets swallowed. When you say Raq there's only one place to put the stress. Do you think you say the "a" in Raquel as a true "ah" or more like a schwa?

I give it the full ah. Like ROCK-el. Kinda.

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

I think Raq roqs.

In that case, it's because your dad had a thing for ROCK-el Welch.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The original Steve's was in Davis Square. Apparently Herrell's is still good (Steve Herrell was the founder, who sold off his first name along with Steve's Ice Cream).

Mmm. We have a Herrell's in Northampton. We also got a Cold Stone recently, but I've never been there, for I am in love with Herrell's. (Although the best ice cream ever is from Bart's, another local ice cream place: Black Tiger. Kahlua ice cream with dark chocolate chunks and, hmm, maybe something else? Must seek out a pint this weekend to refresh my memory.)

Jesse is me w/r/t Raquel and Raq.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

PBS was airing a special about ice cream the other night-- maybe it was just my PBS. Did no one else see it?

Dippin' Dots: The Ice Cream of the Future. Or at least, that's what they were saying in 1994, before it became clear that IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ICE CREAM.
