I'm addicted to Pomegranate Slurpees. I discovered these a few weeks ago while perusing my local 7-11. I'm always on the lookout for sugar-free Slurpees (who needs all the calories, right?) so when I found the Pomegranage Berry Crystal Light flavor I decided to give it a try.
Now I'm working my way up to a 200-dollar-a-day habit and there's no turning back.
Really, you ought to try 'em.

Week 6, Thing 13
I know I'm going to sound like an old coot here, but this whole del.icio.us thing failed to impress me.
First, the coy name just makes me want to throw up a little, you know?
Second--and here's the crux of the whole matter--it doesn't really do you any good unless you've bought into the whole blog thing. Which, you may deduce, I haven't.
I don't search blogs. I don't care about blogs. I don't hate them, mind you, they're just a concept that doesn't interest me in the least.
So shoot me.
Whenever I mention this to someone who's really into the whole 2.0 thing, they look at me like I told them I eat babies.
And before you say "But you're blogging right now!", yep, I sure am. But I'm doing it as an assignment and I certainly don't expect anyone to actually read this stuff. If someone sets up an RSS feed to keep track of my blog, they need some seeeeeeeerious help.
I'm old-fashioned. I like books. I like paper. I like things that don't need to be recharged or connected to a high-speed network.
Okay, that being said, I can see how del.icio.us could be useful for some people. Heck, I can even imagine that one day I might even embrace it.
But not today.
No, not today.

Assignment update Week 5
Well, I did as I was told. I created an avatar, added a bunch of books to Library Thing, and Rolled my own web search thingie. These were some fun exercises but I can't see myself making use of any of them in the near or distant future.

When I'm In Charge
Due to the fact that I'm easily irritated, I've been thinking about some of the things I'd do if I were in charge of the world. Nothing earth-shaking (I'm lazy, after all), but just a few little things to make riding this whirling marble a little easier. To wit:
1. Get rid of the stupid .9 after gas prices. Why on earth should we calculate the price of a gallon of gas to 9/10th of a cent?
2. No more Daylight Saving Time. I've never understood the concept in the first place, and all it does is confuse people twice a year. And hellooo--here's a news flash--you don't get any more sunlight! Unless we can figure out how to add more hours to a day, the hours of sunlight remain the same.
3. Fat women and Disney sweatshirts. Once I am in charge, you will never see one wearing the other. Why is it that so many fat women are drawn to sweatshirts with pictures of Pooh and Minnie Mouse and all that crowd? I'm sorry, but when you look like that, you should be wearing clothes to blend in, not stand out. You're no Snow White, honey. Think navy blue with maybe a vertical stripe to distract the eye. Don't expect much.

Here's Honey!
This is the picture I tried to post earlier. Ellen showed me a different way of doing it because the freaking Blogger thing didn't work.
Creepiest. Doll. Ever.
I know the whole Youtube thing doesn't come up for a while, but I thought I'd give it a try while I'm thinking about it. I've never been able to get Youtube's "embed" thing working, so this'll be pretty much a crapshoot.
Technology post
Hmmm. Something technological that interests me? That's a hard one. I have an MP3 player that I never use, my home PC is basically for ebay and porn, I like my digital camera but I'm not married to it (I'd like to have my Polaroid Swinger back), and I prefer paper and pencil to a Palm thingie.
Oooh, here's something! I love my new cellphone! This one has a camera, but unlike the last one, it actually works. Now I can take pictures of crap and email them to people immediately, thereby irritating them in real time. What a treat!
Oh, and P.S. this whole RSS thing kind of intrigues me, but you didn't hear it from me.

Flickr Disappointment!
Well, I went back to Flickr and made the coolest magazine cover but I can't upload it. I'll try again later, but for now I find it quite irksome.
Flickr Fun
Okay, I did my Flickr thing and had a bunch of fun. Maybe this whole project isn't so bad after all...
Rant du jour
Okay, I know I should be working on my "23 Things"...uh...thing, but I need to vent for just a moment. Please indulge me.
I am sick to death of opening a magazine or a catalog or something and seeing closeup pictures of:

Could you just stop it, please?

I am official!
I have officially registered my bloggage with the People Who Need to Know of Such Things. Sure hope I win that Zune. Last thing I won at Staff Day was a CD of the speaker's program.
Yeah. Right.
Yeah. Right.

My first real post
Okay, I'm supposed to say what the easiest and hardest of the 7.5 habits are for me, so here they are:
Easiest: "Begin with an end in mind." That's pretty much the way I do everything (being a basically lazy person), so it just kind of comes naturally. I don't want to waste a whole lot of time and effort wandering around, if you know what I mean.
Hardest: "Have confidence in yourself." Having little or no confidence is pretty much the default setting for my life.

Welcome me into your hearts and tummies!
Greetings, loyal subjects! Bow in supplication, for I am The Sausage King! More than that, I am your Sausage King!
Baloney, salami, mortadella, it's all good because it's all sausage! Stick with me while we take this little journey together, won't you? For I promise it will be full of adventure.
Not to mention, pork.
