Just because I am a big fan of stopping urban legends before they start:

Slim Jones Diet Soda
I have developed an addiction to Jones Soda‘s Diet Cream Soda. A co-worker bought a case of it and stocked the fridge here at work. After doing some research on the web as to where to find it around me, I discovered some very interesting things about the soda.
First of all, there are pictures on each of the labels, over a thousand by now, and they’re all submitted by the consumers at the website. Then there’s the unofficial library of all of the label pictures, and people actually collect all of the labels.
I’m just keen on the whole sucralose sweetener. I just hope I can find the diet cream soda locally, I’d hate to have to buy it online.
Birthdays!
So I get one, then two, then three birthday reminders all in a row from LiveJournal.
So, happy birthday
Get out your galoshes, it’s gonna be ugly.
The Code Red worm is gonna hit.
Funny thing is, I checked my server logs, and I got hit a grand total of 18 times. But I’m not running IIS, I’m running Apache! Boo Microsoft! Yay Linux!
Ow
I have discovered a sure-fire way to find anything that is lost.
Walk around in the room you lost the item barefoot. You will eventually step on the item you are looking for, especially if it is pointy.
Ow.
Anime Expo and 5XL
So, this is sort of in response to Torak’s comment on my last entry, but it warrants a new entry so you all see it.
For those of you who have delved into my webpage, you may be aware that I play keyboards in a band called 5XL. Well, we’re performing at Anime Expo (in Southern California the end of this week), so anyone who wants to come by, we’re performing on Saturday at 4pm in the Renaissance Hotel (across the street from the Long Beach Convention center), ’cause that’s where they’re holding their concerts and live events.
Laa dee dah
I am not some object of amusement put on this Earth for the sole purpose of keeping people entertained.
That’s your job.
UB40 part 2
So not only did I see a concert DVD of UB40 at Fry’s today, just to mock me… driving home tonight, “Red Red Wine” came on, and it took me a few moments to realize I was tapping my fingers to it. ARGH! Someone up there’s mocking me.
Anti-UB40
I just realized how much I really hate UB40. Perhaps it’s some subconcious thing, where my brain is getting back at me for every really liking the band. But just the mention of the words “red red wine” sends my arms flailing wildly out of my control in a frantic attempt to change the radio channel as quickly as possible.
webcam yadda yadda
I suppose I should link to it here too. I now have a webcam like so many others. The caveat is that I’m not at my computer at home most of the time, usually only on weekends and evenings. But now that I’ve hooked up my Dreamcast to my monitor via switchbox, I’ll be sitting here playing PSO… and you can watch. That’ll keep you entertained in lieu of the Conversatron, yessireedoo.
