Hey. That’s the boot and hat place a block from my high school that has inexplicably survived for decades, even through the pandemic.
In the battle of the grocery store ice creams, I’ve narrowed it down to two champions.
First, honey salted caramel almond. It’s got crunchy almond bits, ribbons of caramel that really hits, and the honey ice cream base is fire.
And on the chocolate side of things is phish food. Chocolate ice cream with ribbons of marshmallow and little chocolate fish for that chew factor. I guess this one’s a stone cold classic already.
And I just bounce between these two til death do us part.
I unabashedly enjoy every book and story that Boss Fight Books has ever published. Just that insight into someone’s mind and their reasons for being really interested in a single video game among the millions that have released into the world since the form developed in the seventies. Each voice, writing style, and intent is so varied that I always find something to appreciate, even when it’s someone just overexplaining a game I don’t especially care for.
(It probably doesn’t hurt that they number their books, turning the series into a collection.)
This video is from the author on her upcoming GoldenEye book and there’s also a great Q&A. Her comments on formulating a book pitch are especially interesting.
hate when guys talk about having kids to “continue their legacy”. sorry, is this 1692? what legacy are you chatting about? a ¾ full nando’s rewards card, a parking space, and a couple of podcast ideas? all your straight cousins wiped out by diphtheria w no hope of an heir to inherit the vauxhall corsa? you been sitting at home this whole time, polishing the old family crest? get a grip.
