我昨天在思考无聊的性质,它如何使您同时激动和缺乏狂热。(Okay, it’s true, everyone with intellectual pretensions has been pretending they’ve been having profound thoughts about the nature of boredom, especially now that the end of the pandemic is in sight.) Every day is the same, and the only thing that provides any variety is the arrival of a package in the mail. At least, this is how I justify my online shopping habits and the insanity that keeps me up late at night perusing Etsy for vintage kimonos and velvet coats. Can one purchase turn you into a new person with a more exciting life?
今天的兴奋来自Jeni的辉煌冰淇淋,与Dolly Parton合作在独家的新风味,草莓椒盐脆饼派。收益将用于多莉的想象图书馆。A few days before the drop, word came from Jeni’s that only one run of the flavor had been made—10,000 cartons—and seekers were advised to hop on the Jeni’s website at the stroke of noon or else line up outside their local Jeni’s Scoop Shop.
试图通过网站订购的经历类似于尝试预约疫苗:很多漫长的加载时间,自动错误消息和刷新刷新。最终,珍妮的告知世界该网站崩溃了,小互联网精灵正在尽力解决它。
因此,我将自己从桌子上推开,在雨中出去,在当地的一家铲店固定一品脱。哈!愚蠢的我!芝加哥湖景附近的Scoop Shop的员工告诉我,他们只收到了16品脱(“那是一人”),他们在14分49秒内就走了。(他们一直在跟踪。)剩下的冰淇淋分配给勺子,不到两个小时就消失了。但是,有一大堆纪念海报。唉。商店完美无缺。员工的外观疲倦但又兴高采烈,他们刚刚进行了非常艰难的锻炼。
但仍然它为原本沉闷的一天增加了一点颜色和兴奋。现在,我的冰箱里有两品脱的非珍妮冰淇淋,再加上五张纪念海报,还有我不需要的植物,但在附近的一家商店的窗户上呼唤我。
如果有人品尝过草莓椒盐脆饼派,您能告诉我们它的状况吗?对于你们其他人来说,世界上有什么食物值得这么多时间和麻烦?在评论中,让我们知道 - 以及您最令人痛苦/荒谬的故事。
