First of all, I swore I'd be able to sleep at my house in manayunk by myself tonight, as all of my roomies are still at home celebrating jesus with their families, I thought why not?.... well my bro left at about 9:45, and it took me all of 20 minutes to realize WHY NOT... if I wanted to get any actual sleep that I had to go home...
10:22pm-- I pulled in the driveway (thats what he said)
10:23pm-- I had already raided the fridge and consumed the last Mallon's donut.. NBD
10:26pm-- Blind Side was ready to go on demand...
10:45pm-- Passed out on the couch...
12:30am-- Wake up and roll myself into the guest bedroom (it was closer...)
TIDBIT:
this weekend-
Jim apparently found some magical twig on the beach that when he saw it he thought "this looks like my soul" (i know....) only to find out that 10 minutes later it was stolen from him. On a mission to get it back, after some detective work of following foot prints on the beach, he saw a family, in the distance, using said twig as a flag to mark their sand castle... jim followed the family home, knowing later he would take back what was rightfully his... and that he did.
thats right, he stole a TWIG, he snuck into their backyard... probably where they wash their 5 yr old feet off AND STOLE IT BACK... I can picture it now: little timmy running outside after dinner to build another castle to defend his princess in the sand tower marked by his flag he found on the beach from imaginary knights... stopping dead in his tracks to find his flag is missing... he runs to his parents when he realizes its missing, tears streaming down his face, heartbroken that he no longer has the stick to remind him of that one last easter he had on the beach with his pop-pop.... shame on you jim... shame.
i think he might be pissed i keep calling it a twig... it was in fact, fairly interesting
WHATS NOT HAPPENING IN PHILLY:
rumor has it burger joints are popping up all over...
BOBBY'S BURGER PALACE: opened today.... on 39th and walnut in West philly-- opening on a Tuesday...hmmm restaurant suicide? or pure genius? You decide. I hear Tuesday's the new Friday... anddd you can get a "spiked milkshake" for $7.50 -->yowzahs. click to find out more -->
SQUARE BURGER: Stephen Starr's stand opened last week for its first full season... they sell mostly burgers, fries and shakes, but what more would they need?!?! and i still haven't been... any takers? or has anyone been? comments please.
HONEY'S: located in NoLibs, has a certain southern style to it, but with a Jewish flare. Monday was the second time I had ever been, and I promised I myself I wouldn't get the traditional 2 eggs and toast, and went bold... and I'm glad I did... if you have never been PLEASE GO! its awesome! Located on N. 4th street! They have outside seating as well... although don't put the milk in your coffee.... freaks me out that it sits in a mini aluminum pitcher all day under the sweltering heat... although I still used it and survived. You can even take the "Pickle," NoLibs trolley, that drops you off right near it.
Okay enough about food.
Everyone needs to fall in love with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... if you haven't already then there is something wrong with you... I can't stop listening to "Heads Will Roll..." Thanks to our friends at youTUBE... take a listen..
Rumor has it Beastie Boys are coming out with a new album... SCORE. I'll keep an eye out...
Okay pinky-prom I'll have this be less informative and more creative next time...
