I missed Gilmore Girls, but my friend is taping it, so that's okay.

The reason I missed it is because we went to this resturant that just opened in our town called The Pop Shop. Evidently everyone in town has been waiting eagerly for a family resturant to open because the place was packed. Unfortunately, as it was quite literally the first day, the service was really slow - teething pains, as it were. But they were very kind and apologetic about it, and I'm sure they'll find their feet.

Meanwhile it is an adorable place - the menu looks like a newspaper and is packed with all kinds of items - tons of food. They have about 20 different grilled cheese sandwiches in varying degrees of fancy. I had one that was ham and vermont cheddar and sliced apples on pumpernickel bread and it was really good.

The 'creamery' part of the place is amazing - old fashioned sodas, even egg creme which is this old-fashioned soda shop type of a thing, and all kinds of milkshakes and ice cream and stuff. I'm looking forward to sampling some of that.


Anyway...time for House, so more later!

I didn't try it yet - it's milk, seltzer and chocolate mixed together. I'm told it is tasty. Will let you know! :)

Heh, yeah, we definitely don't have a system for anything yet >.> But you're right, everyone is being really nice about it. It was nice seeing you there!

アメリカ人って、いい意味でもおせっかいで、いろんなこと言ってくれると思う。
私の場合は、ほんとうに、いつもいいことばっかり言ってもらい、元気になれたけど、
それと同じ正確さとパワーで、るるのおばかなことろを指摘したり、さーじゃがいかに醜い
のか、病的であるかを正確に読み取られてしまったら、けっこう大変かもね。
でも、なんだかんだ言って、アメリカ人ってお気楽でポジティブな人たちかもね。
るるやゴキブリ娘のこと、陰でこそこそ言わずに、はっきり面と向かって罵倒したから。

アメリカ人っておばかなことろが、私に似ている。
なんだか、考えることが、手に取るようにわかっちゃう。
ふふふふ~
るるは複雑を装っているらしいけど、私から見ると単純でかわいいおばかさん~

That man can express more emotions with his eyes than anyone. I got all teary at the end.

And the motorcycle!

Did you ever see the movie "Peter's Friends"? Not a 100% great movie, but good - he's in it along with Kenneth Brannaugh and Emma Thompson and some other British actors whose names I'm currently forgetting.

The Pop Shop rocks my world. Food sooooooooo good. And it's full of cool Collingswood peeps! In addition to the mighty soda jerk-ess powers of [livejournal.com profile] elfmanfan, it is managed by [livejournal.com profile] justleakynow's husband.

I really liked it - I hope people won't hold the whole 'slow service' thing against them - I don't think they expected to be slammed like that the first day open!

Is the manager the guy with the beard?

Sounds like an excellent place (and your grilled sandwich choice is superb)
