ice cream update

I have been tagged for a meme (twice) - but this is not that post. I haven't forgotten though!

This is just a quick post to let you know I'm alive and that there are 3 new Ben & Jerry's flavors out that we have tried.

The first one we tried was Imagine Whirled Peace. Pete didn't like this at all and said that the chunks were good but that the actual ice cream had no flavor. I liked it ok but not enough to ever get it again. I'm actually wondering if we got a bum pint because it says that it's sweet cream and caramel ice creams swirled - but I saw no swirl. The ice cream was all one color and flavor.

#2 - ONE Cheesecake Brownie. OMG! GO EAT THIS RIGHT NOW!

#3 - Cake Batter. Ditto. GO EAT IT - NOW!

#2 and #3 - delicious!! You won't even believe it!

Grease 2

I love Grease 2.

I just do, I can't help it! We had it on VHS when I was a kid and I watched it a billion times. I can't think of a movie I watched more, partly because it was one of the few I owned (someone taped it off a movie channel for us - they used to randomly tape movies for my family) but partly becuase it was SO FUCKIN AWESOME. My neighbor friends and I would be the different people. I think I was usually Paulette (which as an adult - it seems really really really weird that I was Paulette) which meant I had a crush oh Johnny Nagarelli.

Now I know it was a bomb in theaters and that probably most people think it's horrible and wouldn't be able to get through the whole thing. But man, I loved it. And, I still love it. I watched it again a couple weeks ago and now I can't stop listening to the soundtrack. And when I listen to the soundtrack I am able to watch the whole movie roll by in my head because I have the whole thing memorized.

I cried when I watched it last week. I am not going to say why because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it (Pete!) but for those of you who've seen it - and i know there are some of you out there - I will just say I cried when Stephanie Zinone sort of slumps down and that glowing star floats away at the talent show.

I will write more on this topic later.
