just a couple of things because i'm oh so busy slacking off. this includes writing.

yesterday was another crazyfun trip to schaumburg. and seriously, one of the things i really miss about living in a bigger city area is the readily available multicultural experiences. jenn and i found a new place called Fat Straw that had opened up sometime within the last 3-4 months or something like that... the place serves like fifty bazillion different flavors of bubble tea, which i'd maybe heard of in passing once or twice but have never tried.

and bubble tea alone is such a great reason to move your ass to a major metropolitan area, or at least someplace with a much broader range of everything.

if you find yourself at Fat Straw in the Woodfield Mall, or anywhere else for that matter, i highly recommend the watermelon fruit tea. it's like drinking a watermelon. with tapioca balls in it. and ice. so if you had a watermelon, and you cut a hole in it and shoved in some tapioca balls and some ice cubes... and a straw... and then you tried to drink it... that's what watermelon bubble tea is like.

other highlights of the day? ikea. duh. and telling off the jerklady who wanted to take advantage of me. (yes, of course, i'm talking about that kind of taking advantage. what are you, some kind of pervert?!! we were in the damn parking lot and i'm not that kind of girl!)

had white castle tastyness for dinner. yes it's enough to write about. if you think otherwise you've obviously never eaten at one.

got home at 9:30ish, got on the phone with danielle around 9:45ish, started listening to my mom's latest drama stories at about 10:10ish, more drama drama drama blah blah blah, finally got off the phone at 10:45, called michelle back, unwound with her for about an hour. got to bed around midnight thirty.

today i found out the 60-70 mile drive to menomenee falls is enough time to hear the new offspring cd twice in entirety. it's not a long cd. but it's good. real good. super good, even. i have so much respect for bands like that, who can be around for 20 years and not be stagnant; they still sound fresh and new and relevant. and hot.

so with that i deem all bands that start with O the most constantly interesting, creative, fun bands on the planet. this especially includes the offspring, outkast, olivia newton-john and ometallica.
