pizza pizza! So I was waxing nostalgic with some friends (in my head, fourlegged, internet voxpower, your choice...) and got to craving some little caesars pizza pizza, the ones we'd order in doubles (2x2) when having ten friends over to barrel dive into the aboveground pool and listen to the almost out of bandwidth station wafting in from los angeles was the best.time.ever. Don't get me wrong, I love specialty pizzas fresh basil and sundrieds and my too-often breakfast used to consist of blondies and a coke-- but sometimes you get that craving for mass produced food that is somehow comforting in the fact it tastes the same here as it does in that little podink, socal town back home. Same thing with doritos, I guess. I go on a dorito binge every two or three years, eating a jumbo bag of nacho cheddar for about two weeks before forswearing them off again (I think it would last less time, if I were to buy a smaller bag... but given my addiction to always getting +ev for cost/oz in anything, I guess I'm always holding a big bag that shouldn't go to waste, since I wouldn't be eating doritos for another few years and these wouldn't keep that long.) I used to eat them by the handful when I was a little kid, and though I really can't stand them whenever I'm not on my dorito cycle, I think I get to craving and eating them since they were a taste that can bring back that time-- and its mass produced goodness is the same as it was then. And what's up with the doritos ads? innw... I shouldn't even link since I haven't been urged on enough to log on before yakking about it now. But oh my gosh did you know there is a pizza pizza in northern california? Alameda, to be exact... I felt like someone was keeping a secret from me all these years. I admit beign bummed picking up the 2 pizzas, they weren't wrapped up together like the flats we used to buy back home... (something about ripping open the paper and seeing the 2 pizzas side by side reminds me of chlorine and swimming in a one piece suit before I got too concerned about how I looked in a swimsuit to wear them). I had a huge crush on a guy who used to deliver for pizza pizza. (Do they not deliver now?) But he was arrested for stealing a car on new years so he could go to a houseparty in LA. My worst new years: sitting in a car near the beach in socal with my sister and her date drinking boone's since lapd's riot squad thought it was a good idea to lob beanbags at a crowd of kids waiting to get inside the Olympic Audi when the rave inside was cancelled... and all we wanted was to see rabbit in the moon :( (Or, was it sandra collins?) Well, all I wanted to do was ditch sister and german exchange student and go speakerhumping, so of *course* it was a bummer to see arm to arm riotgear cops walking down the street towards us (between the car as well). I'm not too old, 27 (though, my bummer moment last week was getting an email from a cat earnestly saying, "wow you look good for your age!") ... but I get these nostalgic waves awash sometimes. I love ebay for filling up my nostalgia jones. When I was little, the speak and spells were my faaavorite toy, so of course I have a set, along with a colecovision and the greatest coleco game in my prepubsecent mind, montezuma's revenge... Once my roommate post college decided to take apart one of my speak and spells and hook it up to a sampler/keyboard... nothing more titillating than making it say "sex" in that robot tone of my childhood. aK gamesgrid
