My skin is crawling. You realize this means I can never, ever go in there ever? And that is just sad.

Oh, it could be worse. They used to sing for every. single. order. At least now, it's just tips. I always say, "I'll leave you my change, but you must promise to NOT sing, 'kay?" They always agree.

And, there's a Cold Stone very near your house (Halsted & Cornelia-ish).

Hee--the geekiness of knitting. You can make Yoda ears for your baby, or mittens with a pocket for your iPod, or performance art!

Someone needs to find Bradley Cooper and give him a hug. Curse the network gods, curse them to eternity.

I'm pretty sure (confirm with msbelle) that you can tell them not to cheer ahead of time, and they won't.

yes, it is true, you can. I believe they refer to it as a silent tip. I threatened no tip if there was singing or cheering. If you go to a fairly empty coldstone and make this request, I believe you can escape with yummy ice cream and no trauma.

Oh, I didn't know about that one. There's one on Diversey, too.

Timelies all!

Not sure exactly what I'm doing this weekend but some part of it will involve books. I'm going to finally go to the local used book store and sell the bag 'o books I've had around since before we moved. Also, I will go to the library.Mmmm, books.

They should sing if you don't tip. I'm sure they could get more money that way.

That was my thought.

I'm glad Nora is okay. Also glad that ita's annoying-test-of-the-day is finished. I have one more class to grade and then I'm done!

I'm glad Nora's okay. Safe trip home, Tom.

My friend's are not going to make it in to town tonight b/a of the weather. It sucks, because I haven't seen them since September. I don't know if I feel like going to the movie by myself, either, but I have to decide soon.
