Artist Jim Hance creates awesome pop culture paintings. I'm pretty sure this would look amazing in my cluttered house somewhere.
McDonald's Sweet Tea: Good or Bad — Circle One
My friend Camille is from the South and is pretty particular about her sweet tea. When I heard that she was "surprised that McDonalds has really good sweet tea," I knew I had to give it a try.
However I have this thing where I think I'm better than McDs. I can't help it, I just feel that way. They're not my fast-food of choice. Lucky for me, there are folks here at Sugar HQ who are not as snobby as I am, and frequent McDs on a regular basis. Today I pitched them a dollar and said, "please bring me back a sweet tea." There was a tiny ribbing when they came back (about how unlike everyone else, they're not above McDs), but they did indeed bring me back a sweet tea.
Two things.
1) It is GIGANTIC. I said thanks for the gargantuan one, and they told me that that was what you get for a dollar.
2) It was surprisingly good. However I'm not from the south, so I wasn't sure my opinion would count. So I made Dhatt give it a go (he's from SC). When I asked if he'd tried it before he said, "I assume badness, that weird from-syrup," but I made him try it anyways, and he said, "surprisingly decent."
So there you have it. McDs Sweet Tea is surprisingly good (although a dollar's worth is definitely too much for me). So get over yourself and go try one and tell me what you think.
I am Rooting for Benry
I know I might be in the minority here, but Ben (previously Henry, lovingly called Benry in my household) is one of my favorite characters on Lost. (Since we're just becoming acquainted, I should also mention that like many other folks I am captivated by the storyline that is Lost.)
So when I read that Michael Emerson (who, and I know I can't be the only one here, reminds me a wee bit of Thom Yorke) was nominated for an Emmy today, I said in my best native Northern Californian tone, "that's hella great."
Oh Muni, Why Do You Torture Me So?
I know it's not original to complain about public transportation, but lately the underground Muni has been sucking. Today I arrived to a completely full platform (it was actually a little late, the platform should've had about 10 people on it, not 100). The first train to arrive was a one car. Folks tried to shove themselves on, but it wasn't really working out, the platform was still crazy full. The second train to arrive was a two car, but get this, it's doors never opened! Never! It was full but not outrageous, and what if you had been on that train and wanted off? Finally, what felt like an eternity later, another train arrived and I was able to get on. On a happy note, while I was waiting forever, Kcenter showed up and we had a delightful chat on our way to work.
Oh and while I'm complaining, can I just say, honestly little blackberry this is the best picture you could take? It looks like I've added the watercolor photoshop filter to it. Do I need to trade you in for an iPhone? Well, do I?
