We were supposed to go to a Buffy singalong tonight, but my brilliant sister-in-law didn’t go to buy the tickets until Thursday night, and of course they were sold out. So we’re going to see the Harry Potter movie instead. I also finally redesigned my Sidekick 3 skin; the first one came out really bad [...]

Annual Fried Oreos
Today I got my annual serving of fried Oreos. I get them once a year at our town’s little fair, which is held on Memorial Day weekend. They are terrible, and I’m certain they are bad for you, but I have to get them every year. It’s $4 for six deep-fried cookies. They come covered [...]
A Glorious Day
Yesterday, Saturday, was such a wonderful day. It started out when I overslept by an hour, but I hit the road and drove into the city to meet eyes_of_cyrene at her hotel. I got there at about 11:30, valet-parked the car, and spent the next 16 hours with one of my best friends, who I [...]
Peanut Butter Cake

Bullets for the Day

Tortilla Flats
Tonight we went to Tortilla Flats for dinner; we made sure to mention to the manager on duty that their website was broken. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas, though, so I am quite funny right now. What’s amazing is that I won bingo! They have trivia nights on Sundays, and I sort-of won that [...]
Bullet Notes
I have been watching The Lost Room on Sci-Fi. It is ultra-good, but I am going to miss tonight’s CSI:NY because of it, which makes me sad because tonight’s episode is heavily deaf-themed. But The Lost Room is just that good. My new addiction is Sugar Free Chocolate & Caramel Creme Savers, by the people [...]
My Coke Rewards
If you buy a Coke product with a “My Coke Rewards” logo and you’re not planning to redeem it yourself, please pass the code along to me as I am trying to collect them. I don’t usually go for this kind of thing but for some reason I felt the urge to participate.
NonFicWriMo #20: Crystal Pepsi
One of the great commercial flops of the early 1990′s was Crystal Pepsi. Only seven years after the failure of Coca-Cola’s “New Coke” formulation, PepsiCo got the idea to market a cola drink with no coloring. The product was original: existing clear sodas were usually lemon-lime, like Sprite and 7-Up, rather than cola-flavored. But despite [...]
