I don't really like doing that announcement thing, but since I'm her roommate... Snow White's gone home! Which is good, that means she's finally back with James, who's her total love at first sight wonderful husband and she has a daughter that maybe she'll get to see now so I'm happy for her. Right, and Al left too, but that was last month. Uh... a few others, but I don't really know the full list.

It makes me curious about something else, though. What do you guys do to show you remember and care about people who you'll probably never see again in this lifetime?

Horror or spy thriller.

Know any places that sell ice cream or any good desserts around here?

[whatsupcroc]

Oh, horror would be perfect right now. I need a screen to groan at whenever someone does the blatantly stupid thing!

Oh, do I! What kind of ice cream or desserts? There's this place down off Main and 24th, which is closer toward where Buckingham. If you really love sundaes, Pap Caprio's is the best. Same for all kinds of 'floats! Fancier desserts are better toward our end of town, but the best tart-thing I've had is actually like... half an hour away on wheels. About the same by foot!

[gevurah]

The dumb chick who always goes into the basement without a flashlight, right?

I'm not looking for anything fancy but nothing too cheap, I guess. It's someone's birthday, so I think they deserve something nice.

Floats sound like something he'd like.

[whatsupcroc]

Or the tough guy who says he totally has it covered and then walks right into the obviosu trap and looks surprised! Oh, or my other fav. Running upstairs to get away from the bad guy!

Okay, birthday, birthday... and a float? Hah! Okay, then then Cloudy Dave's for sure! He's kind of renovated a small place a few blocks north-east of the Hold. He gets a mixed crowd of locals, and I don't know what kind of syrup he uses, but the closest thing to actual pepsi or rootbeer or coca-cola I've tasted was at his place! There's way more outdoor seating than indoor, it's super dinky, but inside has a nice bar if you don't mind rubbing elbows with the local flavor.

Happy birthday to your friend! I'm glad you're celebrating it with him!

Movie writers don't seem to understand that people don't get that stupid when they're running from danger. No one locks themselves on a floor they can't escape from willingly.

I'll tell him you said that.

[whatsupcroc]

Movies get a lot wrong! I think that's why they're fun, though. You can feel better about yourself because you weren't That Person. Or be horribly envious you didn't get to do that cool thing they did!

Thank you! I hope you both have a blast. Let me know how it goes!

[ Honestly it's hella weird that Kate's going on 33 and Dick's only 13. Why is he so tiny?? ]

What kind of cool things?

[whatsupcroc]

Spelunking! Sky-diving! Going into space! Also punching dinosaurs, that seems like it'd be kind of fun if also maybe not so smart.

[gevurah]

I don't remember any dinosaur punching in Jurassic Park, but it has been years.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh no, see, Jurassic Park was all about the roundhouse raptor kicks. Important difference! ;)

[gevurah]

I wonder if they've got that here.

[whatsupcroc]

They might! I found Speed, it's all roughly the same part of the 90's. Haven't found much from past then, though, go figure!

[gevurah]

They got any Bond films?

[whatsupcroc]

I think I saw GoldenEye, there are probably more! Though maybe not past Tomorrow Never Dies, that just came out in '97, was there anything else during the 90's that you know of?

[gevurah]

Wishmaster.

Sometimes the awful movies are the most fun.

[whatsupcroc]

The awful movies are the best for laughing at, and watching with friends. Totally agree with you there!

[gevurah]

Awful movie night with other folk?

[whatsupcroc]

Needs to happen. You bring your friends, I rally up mine? Oh! Oh, and if Charlie and Billy and I get the theater figured, we can have a whole big showing there! Wouldn't that be great? Inauguration bad films!

[gevurah]

Sounds like a plan. When should we do this?

[whatsupcroc]

Let me double check with Charlie and Billy real fast to see if everything's about ready!

[gevurah]

Well, whenever is fine. It's not like I've got commitments here.

[whatsupcroc]

Except for the ones you make for yourself, huh? Then I'll send you a note on time when I know one for sure. I'm looking forward to this, Kate!
