Ugh.

I've been lying awake for almost five hours. Haven't slept a wink. Part of the problem is my not taking my Prednisone until near bed time. The other comes from my body being it's usual disagreeable self.

Rather than just lie there going crazy, I'm going to play Nethack or something. Either I'll get sleepy at some point soon, or I'll just zonk out sometime tomorrow.

So not pleased right now.

Bzzzzzzz.........

I mentioned a few weeks back that as part of my attempts to be a bit more healthy, I was switching from Coke to Mt. Dew. Yeah, not exactly an Earth-shattering change, but I need my caffeine.

The other day kshandra called me from the store. Did I want regular Dew or Mountain Dew Throwback? The difference? Throwback is made with sugar as opposed to high-fructose corn syrup. I went with the Throwback. Retro packaging, check. Good flavor, check, the effect of Mt. Dew with sugar? CCCccccchhhheeeccckkkk1!!!!11!!elevnty-one!

Pepsi has announced that they are keeping the Throwback lines. Good. I won't have to go on a killing spree.

Laughing too hard at this...

From Daily Kos' Cheers and Jeers: Rum and Coke FRIDAY!

CHEERS to Spring!  Q: Where do people go to take classes about the seasons? A: At the School of Hard Vernal Equinox!  Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! No, but seriously, as you're choking on your veal I'll take this opportunity to point out that as soon as the sun crosses over the equator at 7:21pm EDT Sunday, I shall put on my tutu, strap on my fairy wings, run outside and skip barefoot through the barley fields with the wee village folk to celebrate the official end of winter. If history repeats itself, I'll end up squishing several of them (they're really wee), but their screams will fall on deaf ears because, really, this is supposed to be a happy time and they're not going to ruin it for me again. Memo to daffodils: start poinking!
