After work, I went shopping.  I didn't specifically plan on "shopping," but I bought some things on impulse (never a good thing...but not bad, this time).  A few days ago, Top Foods was advertising Diet Pepsi on sale.  But alas and alack, when I went there today, the sale was no more. But they did have 12-packs of some other drinks on sale (just not Diet Pepsi), so I got some (all diet).

I did get some Diet Pepsi at Costco last week and still have quite a bit left, but when I saw these (and on sale), I figure, why not?

[George]

I got Vault Zero (never heard of it.  it's "Citrus artificially flavored sugar free hybrid energy soda"...kind of like Squirt and not too bad.  I'm drinking it right now), Diet Squirt (love my glycerol ester of wood rosin and brominated vegetable oil...yes, actual ingredients! ), Fresca (I haven't had that in quite a while), Diet Rite Pure Zero cola (with Splenda...never had it) and Diet Rite Pure Zero Tangerine (also with Splenda and never heard of it...sounds good).

[George]

So, I got a lotta drinkin' to do!

[George]

So Jane and TCB, should I bring some on Sunday for you to sample??

[George]

I think I have now removed myself from the Wussburger list (at least, for tonight).

And just where in tarnation has Jane been.  And has Ann caught up?  And where is Jed?

New notes and an Unseemly Trivia Contest up shortly.

[George]

Ooo...new contest!  Let's hope I can even get one part of it at all!

Here is something interesting I learned today.  I was playing my iPod through my mini-speakers near the computer.  It started making all sorts of weird noises.  I unhooked all the plugs, pulled the iPod out, put it all back and still it made awful noises.  And do you know what the cause was?  I was on my cell phone and that was causing some sort of weird interference.  As soon as I shut off the cell everything was fine.

We're now down to the last eight signed copies of Deceit.

This isn't that unusual.  There are some electronic devices that have a warning that they may cause interference and may have to accept interference from other devices (like it's made so that it specifically doesn't prevent it).  It's a pain when it happens, that's for sure.
