Soda (and other) Suggestion(s)

DO give up your current soda and switch to Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper. I know, it sounds like they tried to cram too many flavors into one bottle. In reality, there's only the slightest hint of both cherry and vanilla - that great, god-knows-why-they-call-it-"pepper" flavor is still the major player. The best part, though, is that it lacks the diet soda aftertaste. What a soda pop!

DO try Google Maps - you can actually find the street I live on at Google, unlike present day Mapquest or Yahoo.

DO check this out - the online NFL shop allows you to put a custom name on the jersey of your choice, but does NOT allow you to put just anything on the back. The full list can be found here; the ones that start with "Sex" are below:

DO bookmark Stereogum, a great place to find music news and free mp3s. To wit: download the new Gorillaz track (sweeeeet!) or the Kidz Bop version of Modest Mouse's "Float On" (creepy/unnecessary/confusing). The roommate noticed that track was included on the latest Kidz Bop album when he saw the commercial - we knew it had to suck, but couldn't have predicted this...

DON'T anticipate the new Jimmy Fallon vehicle Fever Pitch, even if the great Nick Hornby wrote the novel. See, he wrote the screenplay for the first movie adaptation (starring the dashing Colin Firth, no less!), which was pretty good - I caught most of it on IFC once back when Pops actually got IFC...those were some heady days, let me tell you. Anyway, the new version did not get the Hornby treatment, and despite the fact the Farrelly brothers are involved, this looks more like Shallow Hal than There's Something About Mary. The trailer will tell you all you need to know. Need another reason not to go? This movie was the reason why you were subjected to a shot of Fallon and Barrymore kissing on the field after the Red Sox historic win this past season.
