heard you sing the sweetest sleep

Man, my iPod shuffle is on a roll--the English Beat ("Save It for Later") then Fountains of Wayne's "Troubled Times" followed by "Angel Won't You Call Me," by my favoritest Decemberists? I was going to take it off now that I'm home, but I can't bring myself to do so. In fact, I might listen to this one again...

...no, too late--it went to "July, July" before I could hit the back button. And I'm totally OKAY with that. Decemberists tomorrow! *dances around apartment*

Hi, reader! I'm full of sugar from FREE CONE DAY OMG. Next to my birfday, this is my favoritest day of the year. As the Boy will attest, I LOVE FREE STUFF, and I LOVE ICE CREAM, so FREE ICE CREAM is just about the best thing ever. Also, FREE CONE DAY is much more fun with people other than... um, not other people. I just realized I've done the last three FREE CONE DAYs solo, and while the principle (FREE ICE CREAM OMG) is still the same, it's a little less ALL CAPS when you're by yourself. Also, you feel a lot more guilty getting back in line for multiple scoops, which might be why I walked away today with three different flavors before we left Navy Pier. I sampled Cinnamon Bun (mmmmm), Chocolate Therapy (something I suspect ericat13 would enjoy), and lemon sorbet (because I'm a wuss and got ice-creamed out by the third round).

Oooh! Now I'm predicting a riot. Go little shuffle, go!

(Yeah, I know I put all this awesome music in my iPod to begin with. But I'm sure there's a loser track or two in there somewhere, but NOT TODAY. Because my iPod knows it's FREE CONE DAY, I think.)

I had the chocolate therapy, too! it was excellent. I then had sweet cream and cookies, which was also highly enjoyable. fyi, B&J branford is much bigger and has a lot more seating than B&J westport did. we'll definitely head out there when you head back east...

I actually asked for cookies and cream, but they didn't have any! I think I always hope I get a whole unbroken oreo like I did once, possibly in Westport... anyway, this was an odd little B&Js in a food-court-y part of Navy Pier, odd in that it had maybe 12 flavors, which is definitely NOT the wide range of diversity I was hoping for. Though I still got good stuff.

And yes, I do believe I will have to sample the wares of the Branford B&J. You know, just to be certain it's, uh, up to par, quality-wise. ahem.
