Oh My God
While surfing CNN I saw a news story about a fifteen year old girl and a ten year-old boy who murdered their six year-old brother. Not too many details were realeased, but the horror that the little boy must have experienced and the grief that the parents must be going through right now is just heartbreaking. I really do wonder what the world is coming to.

Vote For the Texas Quarter!
You know those nifty new quarters with a design for each state? Now you can go vote for your favorite Texas quarter. I really like number two. I was thinking, "Man, I wish it had the shape of Texas somewhere on it." After clicking the quarter to view a bigger shot of it, I saw that it does have one. I think my choice is made now. Number four looks like a police badge to me. It and number five are boring, though five is way in the lead. Not to influence you, but go vote for number two. :-)

I love the state quarters...I've been collecting them since they started, I even have one of those coin folder thingies! Anyway, I agree with you about #2.

I voted for number 5.
Because it's just got that bigheaded, egotistical quality that makes Texas what it is.
This is my guess why Texans are all over it.
Too bad it doesn't have a gigantic penis shooting out from the star. Then it'd be perfect.
Hmm, this may have been inappropriate ;)

I think that much like all the other quarters, Texas should have something on their quarter that describes our state specifically. Why not something like the Alamo? Blue Bonnets perhaps?

This-or-That Tuesday
Time for Ashley's This-or-That Tuesday:
- Do you eat food if it hits the floor? Yes or no?
Guilty. I do.
- Chinese food or Italian?
The only Chinese food I really eat is Chinese Cafe's shredded chicken in white sauce and shrimp fried rice, but I adore Italian food, especially lasagna.
- Ice cream or yogurt?
Ice cream. Yogurt is nasty.
- Do you eat breakfast? Yes or no?
I do during the week, usually a plain english muffin from McDonald's with grape jelly or occasionally a donut. During the weekend I don't get up until 2:00 p.m. or later, so I don't think you can count that as breakfast.
- Have you ever eaten a bug? Yes or no?
We get those little bitty sugar ants in the house and one time there was one on my toothbrush and I didn't notice until I was finished brushing my teeth. Does that count?
- Soft drink from a can, bottle, or glass?
Can.
- Do you consume 5 fruits and vegetables a day?
Nope.
- Apple or orange?
Orange, but I like apple (both the fruit and the flavor) too.
- Pork rinds or sardines?
Good lord, neither.
- Caviar or grits?
What is with these nasty foods? Neither of these as well.

A New Flavored Coke
I am a huge Cherry Coke fan, so I'm kind of excited that Coca-Cola announced today that it will be shipping Vanilla Coke starting next month. All my life I've heard that vanilla coke is to die for, but I've never tried it. I'm not sure if it will taste good, but I love vanilla vodka, so I'll give this a shot. (There's a lame joke there. I love lame jokes.)

You should definitely try the Vanilla Vodka in Coke, it's the best drink ever!!
Posted by Audra at April 16, 2002 12:52 PM
I've had vanilla coke with vanilla syrup in it before, and its *really* good. I think cherry coke drinkers like us will really go for it :) I can't wait to try it :)

i love cherry coke! and i love it when they just put cherry syrup in coke. i have never tasted vanilla coke, but i've had a vanilla coke float before (like rootbeer floats)... don't like lemon coke all that much... but vanilla vodka? i haven't tried that either as i am not a big alcohol drinker... but that does sound tasty!!!

I'm looking forward to this. Every time I go to Sonic I have to order a vanilla coke. They are so delish. To die for good.
There's a vanilla vodka? Hold me back. I do believe my next trip to the liquor store will find me buying some of this and giving it a whirl. I can't wait. And I think I'll do what Audra suggested and try it in some Coke. Hmm. This weekend sounds good to me. Wanna come over and try it with me? :P

Pay Her to Suffer
Jamese over at Breakfast of Champions is climbing the CN Tower, the world's tallest freestanding structure to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund. Why not take a second and go support her?
