I stopped drinking soda a couple of years ago, and when I go visit my family, I'm always boggling at how much Diet Mountain Dew they go through.

Pepsi might as well be bottled by the Devil as far as I'm concerned, but more power to the people who like the taste. Leaves more diet Dr. Pepper for me!
As for the clock purchase, I made a bid on this one yesterday before finding all the really neat ones I posted, and so am kind of hoping someone outbids me today. But if my bid ends up winning it'll probably still look pretty good in that space (maybe not as good as the Art Deco ocean liner clock, though). I really like the Art Deco macaroni design one, but have to admit it would have fit my previous apartment much better than the current modern decor one.
In any event I may also track down a retail version of the swoosh, as that would complete a 3-piece wall hanging design across my north wall with my yellow Little Miss Sunshine poster and my big golden Afterglow print.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love my one Diet Coke per day. Also this morning, I was about to Snopes a friend of mine for posting some shit about poison in Mountain Dew... except Snopes said it was kind of true! But you probably won't have a problem unless you drink multiple liters of Mountain Dew every day.

My preferences aren't strong, but I will usually take Pepsi over Coke. I will take most things over Diet Coke, since it just tastes like chemicals to me.

I didn't hear about this story until now. An elementary school clerk talked down a school shooter. Ms. Tuff is a hero.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Regular Coke over Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke. Diet Ginger Ale is my BFF though. Well, it used to be. I haven't drunk anything besides iced green or black tea, coffee, or water in almost a month. Alcohol doesn't count. That's necessary for my sanity.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
mmm, chemicals.
Our vending machine has diet coke, diet Dr Pepper, Fresca, and some other stuff I don't pay attention to

In less dramatic news, it's no official that L. will be playing on two soccer teams this fall and probably spring. One team is U-13 which is 11 v. 11 and the other is U-12 which is 8 v. 8. It'll be fun.
