Such passion and terror in his eyes and voice. I had to obey.




I also went for a Kuma's about 2 hours after it. (Mastodon - medium, incase you were wondering). Both ends of the scale, and both in their own way, very Not Crap.

I love Chicago so much.

Me too. But seriously, we'll be back before too long. I didn't even find the time to manage a YOB! I've already started trying to work out how soon i can afford to come back over.

Don't be fooled. They do not taste the same.

See, this is killing me. I know, like -- *KNOW* -- deep in my heart that this must be true, but goddammit, I miss me some fucking White Castle. It's been about 2 months now since I moved out here from the Midwest, and I am officially feeling the sense of loss. I have been considering the freezer versions over the past few weeks, but haven't been able to bring myself to do it.

But still -- the loss. She is overwhelming.
