I have a crush
Category: unnerd
OK So cold stone Ice cream cannot taste as good as the lines out side their doors suggest.

After dodgeballing this monday (and every monday in case you find your self bored) Andy, Jenny, Kim Schuster and I went for a scoop since it's just down the block. Waiting in the rain chilled air covered in sweat didn't seem so appealing so we went to a tiny mom and pop down the street... Oh right my crush.

Aside from my longstanding Jenny soap opera (which will continue as she accompanies me to my cousin Tina's wedding in a few weeks) I have a dodgeball crush... OK it's prolly not so accurate to call this a dodgeball crush. I've known this girl for quite a few years but, shes really good people, and cuter than hell. I probably shouldn't work myself up over this and just ask her out, but its kind fun to get worked up over a crush. It's been so long since I've had one, but that's a story for a different post.

Here's a pic of a packed out Coldstone. I'm still not convinced they aren't selling crack. Place looks like a soup kitchen...

Here's the icecream store...
there's someone in line who should be jogging, but I wont' say who

oh you crule (e:peeps)! it was me... I should have been jogging!

I managed to get in there when the line wasn't that bad. It was still about a 10 minute wait. I don't even want to know how ridiculously unhealthy it is. I think they should give you a free Lipitor with your spoon.

IF they are selling crack, then Timmy Ho's working the crystal meth market. I went to Cold Stone once and it was okay. I think the Krispy Kreme analogy works. Soon, it will be just another place to get some scream action.

Enjoy the crush.

seriously... what's the big deal?? It's just ice cream... We've had cold stone at home for a few years now... this marble slab thing is not a new concept. I had no idea people were freaking out so much... I mean sure it's good, but not wait-in-line-for-days good!
enknot - 06/28/06 11:33
That's where we went... Condrell's. It was nice. Sit down service. No lines. The ice cream was tasty too, really good. I mean really I can't imagine that ice cream is any much better than Ben and Jerrys, and the lines at Wilson Farms are never this long.
mrdeadlier - 06/28/06 11:03
seeing as my in-laws keep dragging us back to cold stone, i think i can qualify as an expert. the answer is no, their ice cream is *not* as good as the lines suggest, i'll take condrell's over them any day. cold stone is just buffalo's krispy kreme for 2006.

Dude... you play dodgeball? I'm totally down...

...now back to the rest of your post...

"cold stone crack factory"

seriously, that is a looong line for a little icecream.

um, but.. I stood in that line once.

yummy. But never again .. not the size I bought and not on an empty stomach..never ever again! er..

Have fun with your crush. It *is* fun to be excited about someone--especially when it is a rare thing/ not easily interested/amused by anyone. So, yeh.. best of luck with that :)
jenks - 06/27/06 18:29
hear hear... I have a crush (maybe more?) and it's making me totally insano, but I love it. :) So fun! (and is that her in the pic?) Good luck!
hodown - 06/27/06 17:08
Aww, having a crush is adorable. Everyone should have a crush on someone. Makes life that much more fun.

Everthing In Its Right Place

I'll let Thome speak for him self

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::





Ok... it's kinda grindy, but it's great quality considering it was recorded on my phone.... yeah. Radiohead was great.
Gather Tracking Number: 0871240001150903551

This is for anyone who'd come back to listen to the song above again. Here's a special treat. The set list they played was totatly fan oriented (no radio releases), and they played a few new songs, one of which I captured most of. Have a listen, or get it on Gather.

Completley New Radiohead Song!

(e:paul) if/when you get any flack for this just take it down right away.

Wow the second song on this post is on the new In Rainbows disk. It's called "House of Cards" and this was recorded/posted almost a year before it was out... man I'm cool ::blam:: (sound of my own big head exploding)

What Octopods Do In Their Spare Time
Category: unnerd
I recorded this at that ocotopus project show that was here on papa's day, before Radiohead. It wasn't as acusticly organized as the Auditorim Theater but this is some good music. If you like bands like RATTATAT you might dig these guys. I tried to get a video but bad light is the death of this phone. This is only a 30 second clip, and um you're going to wanna turn this down it's really loud:

So so Nerdy
Category: nerd
Yes X Men was quite sweet. I won't say to much about it as not to be one of those asinine nerds who talk too much. Hmm, typically I'm the one who poo poos movies that are anything short of spactacular and this one has its flaws, but I loved it. what was more exciting is the fanfare the surrounded the event, and it was an event. There were many nerds in full nerd regallia. I got some pics that I'll post on up fer you peeps. I even bumped into some old friends like cute Lil Amiee who's not so lil' anymore. She's 21 now which means I'm a geezer. She was ...whoah I posted this from my phone about 5 times, before it was finished.

It's totally worth it. Especially if you've had a lifelong Shadowcat obsession, like me.
mrdeadlier - 06/03/06 22:50
going to see it tomorrow, we'll have to NERD NERD NERD all about it on Monday

I assume that you knew to stay trough the credits for the payout.
paul - 05/27/06 11:02
Holy nerdiness. The marketing people for the movie and comic book series must love that kind of dedication.

Friggin' X Men
Category: nerd
So after a really sweet day of walking everywhere I drove out to Clarence to the Regal to see the new X Men movie before my nerd assed friends could see it and ruin it for me. I didn't even know there was a midnight showing but I bumped into my buddy Chris
Schudio at Thursday at the Square. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was lack luster, but ((e:paul)) and I had fun drinking and people watching. Suspiciously, this clinically insane girl who's name I don't ever remember and who always flirts with me was there. The last few times she bumped into me she I was with ((e:paul)) it's like some kinda curse. She's kind cute but insane and she's always with the fugliest friend. I took her number again, but I might as well have written the star spangled banner in my phone because I'll never call her. I tried dating crazy before. It just doesn't work.

So my walking today proved quite fruitful in many ways as I also have a walking to work mobile phone architecture photo series to share with you peeps. I'll toss up that crazy girl's photo too as a public service. She flirts heavily and usually has a huge boyfriend so steer clear unless you think crazy sex is so much better than sane sex that you're willing to fight for it.

scott - 05/26/06 14:01
Steer clear! The madness you see here is surely just the tip of the iceberg. Far greater lunacy may lurk below the icy waters of this jpg's frame. Her expression tells me immediately that she is likely a big fan of BNL. (Thus explaining the fugly friend.) Such vomitously trite taste cannot be tolerated!

(She looks a tad bit mannish anyways. A bit like Jeff Bridges in "Starman".)
mrdt - 05/26/06 00:13
yeah, I tried crazy too, actually a couple variations of crazy and your right they just don't work. There always that point that they do something that makes ya go "ah oh" and who knows what else..
kookcity2000 - 05/26/06 00:08
dude thats a really hot girl. How crazay?
