Coffee Heath Bar Crunch

Ah, Ben & Jerry's. The best ice cream ever. I worked one summer at a scoop shop of theirs in Narragansett, RI. K & I used to frequent the one off Thayer Street back when we used to frequent Thayer Street in Providence.

I also remember having to have other sweets in the house back in Iowa, because B used to microwave my three-dollar pints to get at the chunks easier. He wouldn't eat the ice cream. It was never the same after it had been microwaved and pillaged. It drove me nuts. But it's also classic B.

So yeah, digging into a pint tonight. Staying home on Saturday night to do some grading. Not getting very far. Doing things like chatting. Blogging. Eating ice cream. Skipping over 90% of the songs shuffling through iTunes. Dancing, playing with Coco.

Feeling very much at one with the universe, thank you very much. There's a lot of past present future to balance.

The list for tomorrow:

1. Set up new desk chair
2. Set up iMac
3. Set up new Mac
4. Transfer files from iMac to new Mac
5. Get new Mac online
6. Figure out what to do with iMac
7. Cook eggs
8. Cook clam sauce (two different meals)
9. 11am brunch with D
10. Buy kitten food

Prepare for week.

The shuffle has just turned up "You Bowed Down" from Elvis Costello & the Attractions' 1996 album All This Useless Beauty. It's a favorite of mine, from angsty grad school days.

Excuse me, I have some singing to do.

And the ice cream is starting to melt.
