breakfast sugar



1/3 sugar fruit loops (the "no artificial sweeteners" version) by isaidjon

i had my first “1/3″ less sugar cereal about a year ago. i bought it, failing to read the box carefully enough to see it was aided along by Splenda…nastiest cereal evah. so imagine my chagrin when i see joy bring home a box of 1/3 less sugar froot loops. i expressed as much, and she quickly let me in that the box says “no artificial sweeteners”…

WHY ON EARTH DONT THEY HAVE THIS BY DEFAULT! this cereal tastes *great*, and as a matter of fact, they could stand to remove another 1/3 sugar from it!

do folk really have that much of a sweet tooth in the morning?

[iphoto bug side note and warning: i typed this entire entry in the "comments" section of the iphoto "information" bar--about 2 paragraphs worth. while trying to copy/paste all text in that little box, to another window, i accidentally hit the "apple-v" (i'm typing in the dark), and paste in something over top all my text...oh i'll just undo. i hit apple-z to undo, and the only thing it undid was the *title* of the photo! boneheaded engineering (or QA, whichever you prefer :)]


TMI: sick

certainly in part by this hurricane, and the revealing of the inaction, i’ve taken ill. (or perhaps it’s a mixture of that and strictly coincidence)

it’s odd now that i know this type of sickness–just how it’s going to end.

here’s to being hung in front of the toilet shortly!

a tip for those of you with those wireless headset/phones taking public transportation

please
please
please

do NOT sit in the back of the bus, in the middle seat, yapping your mouth off

when YOUR BREATH STANK

my word. this morning’s trip on the bus was just that. i had headphones on, and smelt something, so i turned to my right–this cat, yapping his mouth off on his headset, funky FUNKY breath. no doubt in my mind that about 6 of us smelled the effects of this dude. and he would NOT get off that call!

i was fortunately, next to a window with some leakage. i found myself turning the opposite way, taking in any pocket of air from the outside i could get.

i dug in my bag, but could not find my eclipse.

i kid you NOT, i would have pulled out the pack and offered it to him.

somedays, you think that driving *is* cool. well, better than feeling like you’re taking out the garbage for 30 minutes.
