Chili Season

On our way to lunch in the cold rain today, we were talking about having chili sometime this week. We talked about chili dogs and chili fries. I said chili fries sounded really good, because I haven't had them in years. Then, at lunch, they had chili cheese fries.

Jeff: You should get the chili cheese fries!
Me: Nah. I don't have any idea if they're any good here. I want good chili cheese fries, so if they're shitty, I'll have to have them again.
Jeff: Chili cheese fries are never shitty.

Probably true.

I'll watch Spongebob on occasion.

8) Robert Pattinson, the actor who played Edward the vampire in the Twilight series, was born in 1986. Have you read the Twilight books? Seen the movies?

I have not read the books. I saw the first two movies, I think.
