(De)Feat of Nerdiness: An Ice Dream Deferred

As one of my (few) readers recently reminded me, I have rather neglected this blog of late. Perhaps it is because I experienced a tragic setback in my ice cream production.

Just as I'd promised, I held a sale of my homemade ice cream on Wriston Quad. In the five days before my sale, I prepared ten flavors of ice cream:
Chip Improve-mint
Java
Dough-while
Three-colorability
Peaches and Scheme
Strawberry Seed of Randomness
Secret Key Lime Pie
No-Pumpkin Complete
Bayes-elnut
Big-O

I dressed in my blue dress with the polka-dots and put on my candy cane earrings. I even had my friend Ethan there to juggle with me. Sadly, I had very few customers. I think a lot of the reason was that I didn't advertise very much among people here this summer. I relied mainly on the summer@brown kids, but it happened to be their move-out day. Perhaps I also looked sketchy with all of my mismatched containers. However, I think the solution is really to just make less ice cream. The people who bought it were really astounded, so I suppose I can just shrink my operation.

Luckily, my house had no problem with several left-over quarts. The abundance of ice cream also gave me time to rest up. After this endeavor, I was a bit churned out and didn't create new flavors for a few weeks. However, there were a few that were created since my last post. See above and salivate.
