faster pussycat... type! type!

the quote, lisa, from the 21st, is from a book called "a woman of independent means" by elizabeth something with an F hailey. i think it's been made into a Lifetime movie channel miniseries at one point, i am sure. i have actually never read the book, but i have seen the quote. i had to look it up, because i could not remember it word for word. in actuality, i may remember quotes when i see them, but i am not good at reciting them word for word. but it's apropos, right?

if last holiday weekend was brought to you by the seedy sexual underbelly of society, as well as sleeping too much. we are now brought to you buy soda pop. last week, we began an ubermoment when fee brought up san pellegrino's aranciata and limonata soda pop. and then elle said, oh it's so funny you should bring that up, because i found out about the san pellegrino aranciata and limonata for the first time the other day... and so on. but two does not make an ubermoment. it takes three. and that was me, seeing the aranciata in larry's market and deciding to give it a try. it's num num good. but the bottles or cans are wee tiny small. i could drink six in one sitting. i need to try the limonata. i love lemon stuff. larry's was out.

but then, to continue the soda pop theme, steve, evildeb and i took a walk down the street to real soda. i wanted to see if they had any of the dr pepper made with real cane sugar. the old fashioned kind, the way they used to make it. they say, if you are a pepper, it's the only way to go. and we all know i am pepper. they didn't have any, that i saw. but i had already gotten a hankerin' for it. real soda is not a store, but a distributor that does have a little walk up business. i guess. there was no one around when we walked in. they say, on their website, if you want to purchase soda online, to visit sodaking.com. but soda king sells it by the bottle. 99 cents each. whereas the dublin, tx bottling plant sells it by the case. they are the only plant left to use real cane sugar, and the dr pepper that comes from the plant is called dublin dr pepper. and yet, it's not irish! go figure. i bought my case, but, after taxes, shipping was only $2 less than the case. soo... i think we'll have to have a little talk with real soda. to see how i can get a case from them, now and then.

but just think about it... a nice cold bottle of sugared up dr pepper, from the back of the fridge, where it gets nice and slushy, on a warm summer evening, in your breezeless third floor apartment, listening to your annoying french neighbor, practice the electric bass.... thumpa-thumpa-thumpa. over and over and over. before you use the fuel found from your sugared up dr pepper to go next door and KILL HIM!! mmmm.... sounds delightful!
