Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, I wish you could try our local brewery's root beer. It's not especially thick or creamy and not even very sweet. It's just perfect.

I have a very schizophrenic view of ice cream. While I adore Graeters thick, high butter fat, less air ice cream, I'm also partial to Dairy Queen's soft serve. I just don't rule out any dairy based, frozen treat if I can help it.

This reminds me that I need to buy more popsicles.

We hung out at Perkin's my junior and senior year. You could buy an endless thermos of coffee for $1.82. My BF and I would sit around for hours, drinking coffee and smoking menthols and discussing things with weary ennui.

Sometimes, if we were rich, we would get french fries. That's where I discovered my love for fries dipped in a combo of sour cream and A-1. Mmmm.

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

I am having some of that cake for dinner. Guess what? IFG.

Is it possible to buy a day at a hotel poolside here in LA? A decent poolside? With a bar? Okay, bar not needed. I'm not sure that I have enough energy to do more than loll all day, and I'm just wasting so many lovely days indoors. So I'm compiling alternative locales.

A&W is where I learnt my love of the curly fry. They're still a little sharp for my delicate mouth, but those sure were tasty. Shame the place smelt of root beer...

Cash, you were right about giving Criminal Minds another shot, so I'd at least go that far on your word.

I know that the W hotel in westwood does poolside movies. So I wonder if you can do just poolside hang there.

The cake is really really good. though I didn't quite make it the way she recommended and since I didn't sift nor did I use a sheet, it ends up with a moister denser crumb. the icing is a bit intense.

Just getting to the Polgara+ Grace series. Which are wonderful pix of both!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

as there wasn't much to do in our town besides drink and bowl (and I didn't drink then).

We didn't even have bowling-- but there was bowling and Perkins in another small (college) town about 20 minutes away, and we wnt there all the time. Movies were either 30 minutes or 45 minutes away, but they did show stuff at the college, which we went to even in high school.

ETA: I'm sorry, I missed the post above that someone died, and so, this post seems weird.

Huh. So now I'm playing free online poker. Some people are mean bullies. But at least I'm up on how much I came in with.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We used to live by an A&W drive-in

There are 2 A&W restaurants/drive-throughs near me. One is about a mile away and the other is about 5 miles. What I am exceedly happy about is that Sonic is finally coming to this area and will be about 6-7 miles away. I am thrilled because I adore cherry limeades and slushies.

I have also found a hole-in-the-wall bar in the middle of nowhere fairly near here that brews their own root beer and makes a mean cheeseburger. And for cheap. Burger/chips (no fries)/root beer for $6. Love it.

I don't have ice cream per se, but I do have some green tea mochi and ate a couple of those. Yum.
