BTO a no-go...

So I have had BTO in Arizona, but thought I'd see if it's any different here in Denver. What we're looking at here is some strawberry cream (a flavor I haven't seen elsewhere), some irish coffee (also a rare flavor) and caramel. I keep it simple on the toppings and typically go with mochi, but they had boba balls here, so I had to. Lys got coconut, strawberry bream, and nonfat mango. She had strawberry boba balls and sprinkles on top. As far as falvor selection goes, BTO is pretty weak (most froyo shops have between 16-18 flavors) with only 12 (3 of which were nonfat tart). You would think that this is a given, but they did have sample cups readily available without having to ask for them (some places don't). There was no wait time here, which is actually what triggered us trying new places (we used to only go to yogurtland because it's so good and close to where we live, but they have a 20 minute line out of the door at all times, so here we are). The flavors of the froyo were pretty tasty, but the consistency was off. It was icier than most other places, a little harder, not as fluffy, and colder than other frozen yogurts. We settled on a rating of 29 for BTO (Taste = 7; Topping Availability = 8; Crowd = 8; Flavor Selection = 6). My advice, drive the extra 3 miles and go to peachwave.

To my dearest sister...

Am I slow to catch on to really cool things? Absolutely. But in this case, that doesn't matter. Yesterday I saw the "Dear Sister" skit from SNL, for the first time, and like usual when I see an awesome video on youtube, I had to show everyone I know. Having not seen my girlfriend for two days (had to go out of town to a corporate conference. Not nearly as bad as it sounds. Kinda dope actually) naturally the first thing I did when I I saw her was make her watch this video. She laughed, hysterically, but was unwilling to view it a second time, immediately following the first. When I saw my roommate (my mom. I know, its' pretty cool huh?) again, I insisted that she watch it. She hated it. "People getting shot isn't funny!". Uhh, when murder is done tastefully, yes it is. I sent it to my managing broker, and he loved it. So after showing 3 generations, I had the thought, "why do I think this is funny?" I think that being raised in a time with GTA, Halo, gory movies, and in general, violence, has allowed my generation to detach ourselves from situations. Whereas my mom no doubt grew up in a much different time, it makes sense that she cannot find that amusing. She also misses the point on everything. I love absolutely ridiculous situations, that are uncalled for and unrealistic. Well I have to take off now (driving to Boulder), and if anyone actually read this far, I am sorry. This has been some of the worst writing I have ever done in my life.
