It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing!! And a lot too! 3-4 inches by tonight, says the weather forecast. Anyway, it's now the fluffy kind, but just now while yx and I were playing in it, the snow was odd - kind of like tiny 2mm pieces of low-density ice. And it's so heavy it actually looks like it's raining down the street.
Anyway, we went to Babcock's Dairy Shop for ice cream today, and hmmm ... to me it was Ice Scream. The bloody thing was so huge, I'm estimating there's like half a litre of ice cream in that gigantic cone! Almost couldn't finish it. Can anyone imagine it? Me the pig, the glutton, the food-guzzler, not being able to finish a SINGLE CONE??
If all goes well tonight, well be going snow-sliding at the hill tonight. Apparently it's not really allowed, but then people just go to low hills covered in snow and use cafetaria trays to slide down on.
Oh yeah, and saw another side of yx today. She actually treked right across the mud, climbed a wall, jumped onto a table and risked breaking her neck - just to take a short-cut. Almost boy-ish behavior that was really rather shocking.
Giselle's gone to Chicago and after that she'll be back to Rhode Island where she lives for her spring break. Although I've known her for only a few days, but it's still sad. It's like we won't meet again, and she's such a crazy friend to have!! Oh yah .. we let her try some pork floss just now, she initially thought it was mattress stuffing and took a tiny pinch, then wonder came into her eyes and she grabbed a bunch! =D I'm really enjoying the cultural exchange here.
Last night was yx's birthday, so we took a cab (both of us only) to J.T. Whitney's, a local pub where it happens also to be a swing dancing night every wed. Had really gooooood fun there! The Long Island Tea was crazy though. Sigh. It's a long story.
Before we started dancing, I ordered a Long Island Tea while yx got herself a Bloody Mary. Somehow, the L.I.T. was really, really strong, and I was so bushed out by it that it became so difficult to dance. Yx started laughing at me, saying how come I get knocked down by 1 single drink!
Then later, another Singaporean came by and we made friends, apparently she also danced and that idiot yx told her how I got knocked out by the L.I.T. Imagine my extreme relief when Jaqueline (the girl) said that it's extremely strong and it gets to her too!! Hahahahahahahaha .... we had quite a few dances last night, which was really, really fun! I mean, I can't imagine having a nice place in Singapore where there's proper jazz music and proper swing/lindy hop dancers. Perhaps the dance is just way too archaic? The youngsters nowadays go for hip hop and salsa and all that, and miss out (oh how I pity them, lol) on a dance so rich in history, culture and expression.
Anyway, after that, Giselle met up with us, and we proceeded to Lucky's Bar and Grille which is really right across the street (the street being as small as the one in front of my house). The bartender was GOOD! Giselle and I both had Miller Light beer, while yx took gin and tonic. The moment I finished my beer the man gave me a new bottle! And later, when he heard that it was yx's birthday, he actually fixed up a special shot of some milky-white-I-dunno-what for yx, on the house! =D How nice eh? Tally of the day - I only had a couple of beers, a 1800 shot (some sort of tequila), L.I.T. and a german beer both from J.T. Whitney's. Yx had around the same, but I think she was dead drunk? Giselle and I had to help the poor girl across the street (she almost ran right across), and while both G and I were still up and talking when we got back home, yx was trying to plop into bed with her jackets and contact lenses still on.
Needless to say, her drunk episode last night became a conversation topic for G and I today, much to yx's annoyance and surprise (OMG?!? Did I really do that last night?? I can't remember!!!)
Oooooh looking deliciously christmassy now! Branches and trees all covered in snow! =D
Oh, about Milwaukee - I scrapped the damn trip. It was expensive ($25 for a round way bus ticket), long (2 hr ride), and we're going to be so lost there since the bus service is very different. Not really worth it ... to go for 5 hours and come straight back. So we scrapped it.
Picked up even more pinecones today! I think we've collected from 5-6 different kinds of trees so far. And yx's starting to learn to recognise animal snow prints now =D
