Limited Edition Pepsi Holiday Spice
Topic: Other
I picked up this new soda at the store yesterday. Its called Pepsi-Cola Holiday Spice. Its dark red in color, and it tastes kinda like cinnamon or ginger with a hint of Pepsi. Its not bad. The 2-liter bottle is almost gone. :) I like trying out new sodas. I liked Moutain Dew Live Wire and even their latest, Mountain Dew Pitch Black - which was purple and color and tasted like a grape Mountain Dew. I miss Pepsi Blue though. I guess it wasn't popular enough - they don't sell it any more here. It was great to have a blueberry tasting soda. Blueberry soda is so hard to find.

First Snowfall
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Weather
I woke up this morning and found white on the ground! It was snowing. This marks the first snowfall of the season. Its going to be an early winter I guess. Time to get out the winter coat and boots. I'm not really looking forward to it though. Last winter was pretty awful. Lots of snow!

Well the sun has come out. This little dusting of snow will probably be gone from the ground by mid-day.

Yeah, I Watch "America's Next Top Model"
Topic: TV
One of the shows I make sure I catch every week is America's Next Top Model on UPN. I've been watching it pretty much since it first started. This year most of the girls are good looking, but there are a few that aren't so great. I guess there's more to a model than just a really pretty face.

Eva is a bitchy black girl. Then there's a blind girl. Her chances might not be so good, and a few of the judges don't understand how she would be able to make it as a model since she'll be completely blind in the future. The blind girl accused Eva of stealing stuff from her and a huge argument broke out. Its kind of nice to watch girls compete with each other and argue with each other too.

Of course, there's a girl that has a eating disorder too. One of the sad things about the modeling world is some girls think they have to starve themselves to make it as a model.

This year there's even a big black girl that so far hasn't been kicked off. She's proving that you don't have to be thin as a rail to be a model.

There have been a few girls that got kicked off because the judges found out that overall the girls didn't even want to be a real model - one girl even admitted it and that got her ass kicked off quick.

LOL, look at me talking about this show non-stop. I guess that's why I consider it a guilty pleasure. I wouldn't want to admit to everyone that I'm so into it. This show has been more fun to watch than this year's Survivor. Survivor has been kind of boring this year, plus most of the young cute girls already got kicked off quickly. So I guess part of the reason I watch it is because of the cute girls, But this group of Survivors seem boring to me.

Stern Moves to Sirius
Mood:  party time!
Howard Stern announced this week that his show will be moving to Sirius Satellite Radio starting in 2006. His fans will have to pay to hear him on Sirius, but his show will no longer have to be watered down like it currently is on FM due to FCC restrictions. Howard, Robin and the rest of his crew will be able to say what they want, and they'll know for sure that everyone will be hearing what they say unedited. On his current FM show, the radio station operators sometimes censor his show with a delay button.

The monthly subscription fee for Sirius is $12.99 per month. But there are over 100 channels to listen to on Sirius - including over 60 commerical-free music channels. ALL Sirius subscribers will be able to listen to Howard's show. Stern says there won't be any additional fee to hear him. I'll probably be a Sirius subscriber by January 2006. I'm looking forward to listening to Howard Stern's Show the way it was meant to be heard - UNCENSORED.

You might want to check out Howard Stern's Bulletin Boards. There you'll find several hundred people discussing his show and other topics 24 hours a day.

25 Years of Marriage
Mood:  happy
Topic: Personal
Just last week I was mentioning Britney's crazy idea of marriage. Well there are some people that actually stay married. I have proof: my parents! They have been married 25 years today! I am very proud of them, and I'm very thankful that I grew up having both my parents around. I read a disturbing figure that something like 50% of marriages end in divorce or separation. I don't know how true that is but it does sound about right. With so many kids growing up with broken families today, I am very glad that I was fortunate enough not to have gone through the emotional stress of my parents separating. I can honestly say that my parents seem very happy together and I'm sure their marriage will definitely last for the rest of their lifetime. Well, at least I have something to be proud of. :-)
