[we’re on east coast time and you are, technically, twenty-one. we don’t want a fire to start, so, would you do me the courtesy of blowing out the candle? did you make a wish?]  i did.  [okay. but you can’t tell me, right?] no. no, can’t do it.

Brennan talking about how shocked he was that video rental stores still exist is so funny to me personally as someone who lives within driving distance of THREE different rental places that are actually doing pretty good.

Ray’s Candy Store, NYC

I’m posting about Ray’s Candy Store today as it’s been in the news this week, but for unfortunate reasons, as the owner, 90 year old Ray Alvarez, was beaten in his own shop. The local legend suffered bruising to his face in the attack, but thankfully, police quickly apprehended the offenders. Ray is now back at work to the delight of the neighborhood!

Ray’s is a fixture in the East Village, and as notorious eater of chili cheese dogs, we’ve frequented the place ever since we moved downtown.

As the name implies, Ray’s is known for its sweets and snacks, but savory noshes are available as well. His egg creams, soft serve and beignets are also rather famous...

Ray runs the counter by himself, preferring to sell classic New York boiled dogs made in a crockput...

The homemade chili is a meat and bean blend and the cheese is whiz...

For $2.50, it’s better than any hot dog you can find on the street!

When and if you go, do try and spend some time inside the cramped counter and look around, as Ray’s has been there since 1974 and is filled with eclectic pieces of New York history.

I just KNOW I'm gonna go insane over Dungeon Meshi when I finally get into it more UNFORTUNATELY. I am the type of guy who Needs Physical Media in My Hands I know I can read it online but that's not good enough. I need to have all the books and I need to be able to flip through to find my favorite panels and I need to put little scraps of paper to bookmark said panels and I need to be able to just grab it whenever I'm thinking, "Ohhhhh I have an Idea a Concept for a face or pose, and I'm actually thinking of a very specific illustration actually from maybe these volumes if I had to guess, I have to find it"

Got some ~candy~ and ~snacks~ for my students. Apparently Mallo Cups are gluten-free as well, which is cool because there’s a gluten-free student and they don’t have very many snacks to eat in the stockpile at all.

i want to clarify re: hamricks bc i went back and read those posts and i think i sound a little silly. when i said one guy threatened to shoot another guy. i didnt mean one guy said "im gonna shoot you." what i mean is that the other guy said "take that fucking gun off me." like there was fully a firearm being brandished. i was not freaking out over nothing. also i found out later that apparently the guy had done this not once but AT LEAST two or more times because when my mom told an employee she turned to a different employee and went "he's back again." i don't know what could possibly possess anyone to pull a gun at a hamricks parking lot the FIRST time let alone as a REPEAT OFFENDER

I try to keep a neutral tone when I talk to folks on here and the gc about Spider-Man, but honestly, I get so excited sometimes that I think it carries over to text

i think that now that the sequel is out i prefer it over the first movie by a lot but the first sonic movie is still very special to me and i look back on valentines day 2020 so so fondly
