I'll show you, sugar, how to juggle them dice

[sovay]

I have spent this afternoon proofreading an academic book on memory, ritual space, and constructions of history and time, and listening to PJ Harvey. I had triangular salmon onigiri for lunch and a profitable meeting this morning. My poem "Heliotrope" has been accepted by ericmarin for the June issue of Lone Star Stories. fleurdelis28 and I are contemplating starting an online petition for the Leverett A. Saltonstall Bridge, because that is too good a name to waste, and it turns out that Unitarianism in its earliest form is a sixteenth-century heresy genetically related to Arianism. Today has actually not sucked.

My mother just arrived home with pomegranate chip ice cream. Add to the list of flavors I didn't know anyone made . . .

Yowza. You and your allusive euphemisms for your day's schedule are driving me wild, darling. Thanks for the mp3. You just keep being right about young P.J. Harvey.

Let me know if you need your beard nailed to the bathroom door.

I have not yet been able to find any Americone Dream. I think it's getting bought up by die-harder Stephen Colbert fans than I.

Maybe. I've actually checked six different grocery stores in different parts of the city and haven't seen it or even the Willie Nelson flavour. I kept thinking maybe the west coast was getting the flavours late, but now you tell me this . . . When I worked at Rite Aid, I used to stock the ice cream (long hours in a freezer wearing my bomber jacket in the middle of summer) and I do seem to remember not opening a box for weeks after it arrived. On the other hand, I've seen comments on a few message boards from people who've seen the ice cream, so I don't know.

It's gotten so I've been spotting other disconsolate young people standing in front of the Ben & Jerry's section. Who'd have thought a guy could excite so much demand by mocking over-merchandising himself?

You're welcome. So far, I haven't heard anything from her early work I haven't loved. I'm just hoping she still has songs like that to write. That's not quite the right phrasing; not more songs in her earlier style, but of that caliber. Or maybe it's just me. I have spoken with people who think Uh Huh Her is her best album in years.

I honestly thought it was a joke the first time I heard the name. But Ben & Jerry's confirms its existence; now if only my local groceries would . . .

(The flavor graveyard, by the way, is hilarious. Honey Apple Raisin Chocolate Cookie? Lemon Peppermint Carob Chip? By the waters of Babylon, I will mourn the loss of Rainforest Crunch and S.N.A.F.U., but some of these we can be thankful are underground.)

I've never had those. S.N.A.F.U. sounds good--I love strawberries, and the fact that they're so scarce in Oblivion has oddly enough inspired a hunger in me for them. I would've liked to've tried Blueberry Ice Cream. And I can see myself becoming addicted to From Russia With Buzz.

I find it a little strange that neither Ben & Jerry's nor Haagen-Dazs make boysenberry icecream. Is it not wanted in that part of the world?

What parts of the world is boysenberry ice cream wanted in?

[selidor]

It's popular in New Zealand - I just found it strange that American-created berries aren't used in icecream there.

Mind you, as far as interesting icecream flavours go, there is quite a range to choose from here. Ah, dairy capital of the planet...
