Subject: Panda Gelato

“So you know how when you find out about something or learn something new, you tend to see it everywhere?”

“Like when you happen to notice how yummy a chocolate advertisement looks, and then you seem to see that advertisement wherever you look?”

“Or when you see a hot girl on the way to work, and then you see her at the supermarket, at the movies, etc..”

“Sure. So I was reading Panda Blog and saw a picture of a capsule toy vending machine. Which looked way better than the crappy supermarket vending machines around here. I'd never heard of them, and they looked interesting.”

Sara trails off, distracted by a commercial on the television for Hancock.

“I want to see that.”

“Hancock? Yeah, looks good. You know you were in the middle of a story or something right?”

“Oh! Right. So I took the PATH train to Pavonia-Newport to look for food during lunch. I found this Japanese tea shop slash Gelateria.”

“Oh! Gelato!”

“Well yeah...The Gelato was good. They also had all sorts of teas and pancakes and stuff. Looked good, I'm sure I'll head back. That's not the point though.”

“I found one of those capsule machines Panda was talking about!”

“Did you get a capsule toy?”

“No..I didn't have four quarters. I figure I'll be back. They had Winnie the Pooh characters dressed up as animals.”

Billy walks over and silently hands Sara a handful of quarters.

“Get me one too.”

“Sure thing.

Easter Eggs

Welcome to the 6^th floor.

Today's contributors are: Ann, Sara, Tabitha, Frank, Billy and Scott.

Subject: Easter

“Wow, I think I ate way too much junk. My stomach is angry at me.”

“Mine too. I actually ate half of that huge chocolate bunny my parents sent me.”

“You girls are lightweights.” Billy says, buttering himself another piece of Easter bread.

“I can't believe we went through a loaf and a half of that stuff...you must have eaten half of one yourself Billy.”

“It's good stuff. Ann is a good baker.”

“Thanks. Those pastries Frank bought were delicious too.”

“Want another? There are plenty left.” Frank says, peeking into the bakery box.

“No! I'm full. I'm on chocolate hiatus.”

“Chocolate hiatus sounds like a sin.”

“It probably is.”

“I think I've eaten too many eggs. I think I had five today, that's a lot of cholesterol.”

“Maybe if Tabitha hadn't insisted we dye so many...”

“You're right, I think four dozen eggs may have been overkill, but it was fun!”

“I ran out of ideas though. And then Sara had to make too many blue and orange Mets colors eggs..Speaking of which, are you getting up to watch any of the Red Sox against the As in Japan Sara?”

“Probably not. It's on at 6 right? I'll probably wake up and catch the end of one of them, just to see some real baseball.”

“Yeah, I may just stay up all night. We'll see. I have to remember to make sure all my Boston and Oakland players are active in my fantasy leagues though.”

“Yeah, I should do that too.”
