More Pop History!

I stumbled upon this site while blog-hopping today. I think it should be a requirement that all test-market sodas get sent to my address for inspection and feedback. Some of them we had in Wisconsin/Minnesota, but I had never heard of the Pepsi Wild Bunch before - way cool!

Think Spring!

So, the snowy season is officially over and has made way for mild sunny days - at least during the work week. This weekend is supposed to be 40% rainy. The good news about this is that I have plenty to do indoors (clean, organize, install external HD, make mix-CD's). However, I'd much rather have it be rainy when it's nighttime and I'm sleeping or when it's a weekday and I'm working in the basement of downtown Minneapolis. That's my $.02!

Éire go Brách

I drove through St. Paul today around noon. It was right before the start of the St. Patrick's Day parade, and the main drag of downtown was covered in a sea of green. One of these days I'll actually watch the parade!

The best part is watching how people get dressed up for the holiday. Some just wear something green, others don Irish promotional garb, while a few actually get really creative - like the guy dressed as a pint of Guinness.

It's Friday Night...and I'm going to bed!

This is probably one of the longest days at the end of one of the l o n g e s t weeks I've had in quite some time. I woke up at 4:30 (-ish?) barely able to function, but somehow managed to get my wife to the airport in time to fly out to Jamaica via Atlanta. Then, hoping I could go back to sleep for an hour (yeah, right) I crawled back into bed. Nothing.

I did, however, make it to work on time and was pretty much busy all day - which didn't give me time to think about how tired I was. Then, after work I met up with some old employees (one of which got a new job) at Town Hall Brewery for a couple drinks...and then another with my ex-roommate Keith at Houlihan's later this evening.

Now it's my downtime, and I'm completely wiped out tired - not buzzed or anything, just tired!
