Upon opening my bottle of Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, I find it smells like baby shampoo. I do not, however, know if they taste the same. Also, I don’t think I’ll try bathing my cats with Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper.
In one of my recent magazines, I happened upon an advert for Paramount movies or something along those lines. They have pictures of DVDs, with little gift tags affixed to each one. Some say “To Mom”, “To Dad”, “To Uncle”, “To Sis”, etc. However, one in particular stands out to me: The Godfather box set? “To Mailman”. Who the hell buys their mailman the Godfather box set? I mean, unless you know the mailman personally, and he is a close friend or family member. But then, the tag wouldn’t say “To Mailman”, would it? It would say “To Tony”. Or, perhaps there is a joke about the mailman being the kids’ real father.
Reading a sidebar article in the recent Newsweek, there is an interview with the actress Rosario Dawson, and in one quote, she mentions she got wax all over her Uggs. You see, she says she wears Uggs all the time, “especially in San Francisco where it’s really cold.” Is there something about the temperature in San Francisco I don’t know about? My feet must hate me up here in Seattle! I just stuff mine into sneakers. I actually wear sandals in the summer. I had no idea I was being so cruel to them. Sorry, toes. I’ll buy you some Uggs this Christmas. Not to be fashionable, mind you, but to be warm. Besides, you never know when I could end up in chilly San Francisco. Brrr.
When I eat a really great sandwich - I mean a really, great sandwich - I want to eat it standing up, and have a huge brass section blaring out celebratory music, so I can dance with it while I savour every bite. I can’t understand why this doesn’t happen. I mean, the sandwich is really great. Here, its sole purpose was to satiate me, but it went one step further and tasted really great. It deserves a big send-off. But it has to be a really, great sandwich. So it doesn’t happen every day.
