Super Sport

Friday was our unit's Pre-Deployment BBQ and Family day. While not as many people turned out as they should have, it was still a good showing. We were able to muster up a good game of Ultimate, with a pretty balanced team of experienced players and newbies. The game lasted for an hour, during which we did pretty well. After that game, I joined a pickup Softball game that ended up lasting until around 3:30. I batted 5 times, reaching a plate all times, but got home only three. I also caught a great outfield pop that went out toward centerfield. I was so surprised that I caught it, I just stood there looking at the ball, forgetting to throw it back in time to catch a runner on his way home. Its been a long time since I had fun playing base/soft ball.

Coke Blak

Walking through Target last night, I set my gaze upon this 4 pack of Coca-Cola Blak. I read about it last year as being test marketed in Europe or somewhere, and I couldn't wait to try it out. I can say that it incorporates C2's lower carb formulation with both HFCS (high fructose corn syrup), Equal (aspartame), and Sweet One(Acesulfame Potassium). Giving only 45 calories to the 8 oz bottle. The initial smell is like coke, but with a chocolaty smell. It tastes like coke, but then fades away to a sweet coffee flavor, kind of like a bottled or canned coffee drink. I think its pretty good. However, at 1.50 per 8oz. I don't think I'll be buying cases of it.

Igarts Flars!

Finally got around to taking pictures of my flowers. I ended up taking more shots of the damn bees that fly around my mailbox, but I did get the blooms. I'll take some of the Azealeas later.
Speaking of flowers, I was remembering a Reading Rainbow episode where they read a book about the Legend of the Indian Paintbrush. Here is a link.

because I don't like talking on the phone

I've been really busy with schoolin, with just one month left before I graduate. I'm having to really do a lot of reading to catch up on my Learning contract course. It's just two tests, like an extra long CLEP I guess. I've also been able to find something at work that makes me want to actually go there, and do actual work, instead of just hitting refresh on the 4 or so blogs I read every time I'm done reading the updates.

In case anyone is wondering, that is http://www.boingboing.net http://www.makezine.com/blog http://www.slashdot.org and http://www.digg.com

I'm also reading all the old comics from Dinette Set on the Houston Chronicles website. Something about making fun of ourselves.

Anyway, it's time for bed, I have to be at work by 7:30, probably work through lunch, and then go to the gym at 3:00. Go home, shower, and then go downtown for Differential Equations & International Marketing (really really boring BTW) from 6:30 until about 9:45. Sometimes, when Brandi and I are arguing, I joke and say that nightschool is the glue that holds our marriage together. I still haven't gotten a laugh out of her on that one.
