...Yes. Heehee.

Lisa took this photo with her ginormous camera that looks like a gun. Really. I think she said that it weighs 6 pounds.

Also, I got this in an email from New York Press:

that's a pretty cool cause. it's sort of one of the ideas i had when i was younger. it was a concept i called 'poor mans kitchen.' it's supposed to be a small little diner that serves food simple to make from scratch. the store would employ those who lost homes/jobs and need a chance to get back on their feet. furthermore, this diner would be connected to a low income housing complex (mostly bachelor pads) so that those who are employed can find housing while they work.

though it's a noble cause, i neither have the resources nor the marketing ingenuity to figure out a way to make it work. but seeing that ad sorta brough back old memories. and who knows? perhaps one day, i may find myself able to take on the task. =)

as for the ice cream, unfortunately, i live in los angeles. but if they're available in early june, perhaps i'll drop by. i'm planning a short vacation there soon.

Jenn: Ahhh!...I heard about that but wasn't planning on going. Cos. I suck. Hm. Hmmm. BUT NOW I WANNA GO! Crap. I don't know anything about restaurants in Brooklyn! And it's so close! (points)

I love entertaining you! I SHALL ENTERTAIN. BY WRITING IN CAPS.

ed: That sounds like a cool idea! And I wouldn't have any idea how to make it work either. :| Keep it in mind though.

Short vacation...you'll have to pack in a lot of food.

uh... i wish i could help you, but i only go to Brooklyn to see the inside of my relatives' homes. and my relatives. at least the food is free.

I suppose you can choose the cheapest option, since you are as ignorant as i am when it comes to Brooklyn eating establishments.

I'm thinking of offering to go food adventuring with you, but I feel like it sounds a little creepy coming from a total stranger. that and my social skills are lacking. I'm really good at generating awkward silences. ...yeah.
I DON'T KNOOOW. CAPS ARE PRETTY ENTERTAINING! THANKS! I ALSO LIKE PUNCTUATIONS!!!,..,/??;.

Jenn: When you said "inside of relatives' homes. and my relatives" I thought, "inside of relatives". Like organs. HAHA..ow my brain. Doesn't work.

I WANT CHIP SHOP, HOOHAA!!!! I'll think about it. That, and my veins. Filling with fried oils.
