Philly LiveBlog + Random Things From Last Week
8:36am: We just left a Greensburg Sheetz, en route to Philly to get Chooch mostly-moved out. Henry’s breakfast sandwich is making the car stink of b.o. so bad and also I looked over right as he pulled a LONG onion tendril out with his teeth and I started gagging.
“Why are you laughing??” he demanded.
“I’m gagging, thank you very much.”
Anyway, I’m using this time in the car to also do a photo dump from the last week so I can stop being so behind on blogging.
Here are some pictures from our Sunday visit to our fave, Pink Box, for some pre-cemetery walk treats:
Seriously love this place so much, love supporting it, love their delicious treats! Please stay forever, Pink Box.
I got this giant pineapple croissant because I needed croissant redemption after that shitty bread-lump that I was served at Penn brewery the day before. Oh and while I’m at it, let me state for the record that I hate them even more now because I messaged them on IG re: the Kennywood edition of their (shitty) lemon shandy. I specifically said LEMON because there is a strawberry shandy that comes in the Kennywood six-pack. Whoever answered me said that YES the KENNYWOOD LEMON SHANDY was available at the brewery in the KENNYWOOD CANS. So Henry went out (twice because the first time he forgot to check their hours and they were closed lol) and that same shitty bartender lady tried to sell him the REGULAR six-pack and he was like NO, THE KENNYWOOD ONE PLZ and she said NO.
So I responded again and my message was SEEN but not replied to. Fuck you Penn Brewery.
Anyway, my Pink Box croissant was so satisfying.
Homewood Cemetery has the most beautiful pond. We come here all the time (miss not having Chooch with us) and just stand there looking at tadpoles, turtles, etc. like it’s nature porn.
P.S. I had to wear glasses for nearly a week because whatever allergies/sinus ailment I had made my one eye red under the iris. It didn’t hurt at all but it made me nervous. Not nervous enough to get it looked at by anyone other than Henry though. Haha.

9:21am: We still have 3:32 hours left ugh. And it’s raining. We’re listening to the Stray Kids DominATE set list now but this came up earlier and cracked me up:
10:14am: LOL I texted Janna and asked her to do me a HUGE FAVOR because that’s just the sort of text everyone wishes to receive out of the blue (갑자기) and after waiting AN HOUR for her respond, I asked her to message Penn Brewery about the cans and she said SURE.
LOL. I AM GOING TO SUE THEM FOR FALSE ADVERTISING.
In other non-on-the-road news, we are still in the process of getting the wardrobe and dresser set up. Henry spent all last weekend tediously trying to fold all of my T-shirts because I just ball them up and punch them into the drawers. He even ordered a T-shirt folder and taught me how to use it so I can fold my own shirts going foward lol. But anyway, everything is removed from the old dressers and they are currently bashed into pieces in the dumpster at Henry’s work. (Trust me, I’m all for upcycling but these were TRASHED. It was so bad & aggravating, trying to access clothes in the condition BOTH dressers were in.)
10:20am: Henry just gave me a quizzical look because he looked over and saw me crying.
I was thinking about G-Dragon. Lol.
12:31pm:
Me: Do I have to do anything when we get there?
Henry: like what?
Me: Help.
Henry: That’s hilarious. I just brought you along for company.
Lololol.
Speaking of Henry, did you know he moonlights as my inhouse matcha barista?
Of course this is Nami Matcha, their new strawberry-infused blend. It is sooo good. The strawberry essence is subtle and natural, but not artificial tasting at all.
And here’s some Penelope pics:
2:09pm: this is very tedious and frustrating lol.
2:30pm:
Me: I’m sweating!
Henry: from carrying that poster?
lol srsly that was pretty much the extent of what I did.
3:16pm: we had lunch with Chooch at GFG Cafe and it was delectable. Veggie mousakka!
And we finally got to meet FOUR of his friends finally, two of them he’s rooming with next year.
What a whirlwind day. Now we’re heading out. I let Chooch off the hug hook this time around since we’ll see him on Saturday!!
Bye Drexel!
5:31pm: Still in the car, trying not to have a heart attack while reading updates on the Orange Psycho’s war on Californians. Trying to balance it with G-Dragon content.
Speaking of, my fan club members only version of his mini-lightstick arrived on Friday :)
6:07pm: It’s really sad that we have made this trip so many times that we recognized the last working at the 7/11 at whatever rest stop we just left. (Blue Mountain or something.)
Also Henry bought a Mr. Beast Feastible because he was influenced by Jake Webber.
7:06pm: Just left this cutie rest stop:
We’re listening to Kurt Travis and getting so stoked to see him again next month and by we I mean me. “Isn’t his voice so pretty?” I said to Henry.
“I guess?”
Ugh.
9:42pm: We’ve been home for an hour. Byeeee!!
