just get rid of the ice cream...

...and sell the half baked brownies and cookie dough in a carton! this would make me much happier (and probably fatter too). i think the only ice cream i have eaten in the past three years has been ben & jerry's twisted half-baked brownie and cookie dough (i have liza to thank for that introduction, and its definitely my favorite ice cream so far). most of you who know me know that i don't deviate from a pattern once i find something i like (pancheros burritos, my typical tio's order, screen names, and toothpaste), well the ice cream hasn't been any exception. what i would see as room for improvement is if they (yes, i am actually about to say this) get rid of the ice cream and keep just the add-in's. i really only buy the ice cream for the brownie and cookie dough, and all i end up doing is foraging through the ice cream eating only the minimal amount that lets me get to the other stuff. what a waste of ice cream! this ends up with a couple cartons in the freezer with all ice cream and several gaps/holes where i surgically removed the brownie/cookie dough. i obviously possess no skills to make half-baked brownies, and i tried the plain cookie dough thing once and felt kind of ill. so yeah, nix the ice cream and give me some of the other stuff in a carton of its own...i KNOW there are others out there who would be happy with this, but probably not many.

speaking of old music, i ended up transferring a bunch of mp3's from my CD back-ups from an old computer to my laptop today. the CD's were made several years ago and the music on them kind of reflects the times (some of it was pretty old anyway). among them were several nostalgic selections such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by deep blue something, the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack, Tubthumper by Chumbawamba, Teenage Dirtbag by wheatus, southside by moby & gwen stefani, Angel by Shaggy, Shake a little Something by 2 Live Crew, But Anyway by Blues Traveler, and Mr E's Beautiful Blues by The Eels...the rest of the tunes are similar in their randomness of genre. this will make for a great departure from my last few iPod sessions since i have now memorized the several gigabytes of songs i listened to over the semester's work so far in the dreaded dungeon.

well if you get the chance, i would suggest downloading any of the above-mentioned songs since there is bound to be at least one that you like and will probably remind you of earlier (perhaps more entertaining, less happy, crazier, or just different) times. oh yeah, damon and i still don't have costumes for halloween yet. at this rate i'm going to go as 3-hole punch solomon, like that guy was on 'the office' last week. either that or i'm going as gandhi. we'll see. have a good night <:><

this an actual sign we saw along the road while driving in Australia. the cassowary is Australia's largest land animal and quite endangered. the tiny car we were driving would probably have been destroyed if we hit one.

when i worked at the red barn we had bags of toppings (cookie dough, brownie bites, various candy bar pieces). we always used to take the bags of toppings and just eat them alone. i agree with getting rid of the ice cream.

ps- i think my idea of you and damon going as a cowboy and indian is still good. remember, have him be the indian to change things up.
oh yah, and i just ate a hot & ready.
