- Bitches, whoever you are, stop trying to hack my new Gmail account! LIKE YOU COULD SUCCEED IF YOU TRIED. Fucking mentalists.
- Coke is launching Coke Blak in France next month. It’s half Coke, half coffee. Pepsi tried that in 1994 with Pepsi Kona – I lived in the test market and it grew on me. Louis was CRAZY about it and stockpiled cases.
- Via Consumerist (new Denton site; I kind of don’t get it) – complete US NES set on eBay.
- My mom bought herself an iPod nano lanyard and it’s totally hot. Two problems – aside from the fastner-thing, it’s a little cheap-feeling, and it doesn’t come in black.
- New movie Crank: “Jason Statham is a hitman who’s been shot up with a Chinese poison that will kill him if his adrenaline level drops.” The new Snakes On A Plane! In other media properties news, I’m very excited about the rebirth of Becoming Glen. Also exciting: Battle Angel!
- Ask Metafilter rrrrroundup: Where can I get Lakka (cloudberry liquor) in the US?, Is “eloecea” a word?, Why can’t executives spell?, What do I do when my in-laws ask about my closeted dad’s new boyfriend?, Why is Christ always holding up a pomegranate? (FPS humor: Jesus sucks because it takes him three days to respawn), Why do we use euphemistic names for some types of meat but not others?
- Cell phone bummer: My fam is probably going to reup with SprintPCS instead of switching away, which is too bad, because it means I’m stuck with a Treo 650 when what I really want is a BlackBerry 8700c – and little sister and dad can’t get Samsung Blades because the QC sucks. Oh well – phones should be much better in two years when the contract runs out, right?
Fiesta!
