So, not only is Pepsi making a huge mistake with the launch of the new new logo (logos?), they apparently think making their pop bootles look like penises is a great marketing strategy. And maybe it is. I’m talking about it, aren’t I?

I know I have a knack for finding penises, but don’t tell me I’m the only one that sees it.

If someone in our house would have made these videos, we would have crowned them Captain Obvious, and I kind of love it because these are two music videos that I always wondered what the shit the visuals had to do with the lyrics.

Enjoy.

The queen stepped out in some stylish new kicks this week. She shed her old lady pumps and wore some knee high, black leather riding boots with buckles.

The Queen’s people tried to downplay her new style, saying that they were more function than fashion, but it’s clear that the Queen is totally vamping it up. Those boots had some serious height. More height than I’d be able to tour Slovakia and Slovania wearing!

Also note the slim fitting coat, fur trim, and funky hat. I think she’s trying to impress someone.

Tonight may be the night. The perfect night to pull out the electric blanket! It’s going to be about 40 degrees outside and I refuse to turn on the heat. If it were up to me, we’d spend the winter in our robes and slippers, snuggled up with our electric blankets instead of giving our money to the gas company.

I’ve been reading a lot of books about food lately. Call me a product of my environment. Julie & Julia, The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry, and Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant, which is about cooking for yourself and dining alone.

Dinner alone is one of life’s pleasure. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People’s lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they will tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam.

And I realized while reading this book that I eat a completely different variety of foods when Mike isn’t around. I eat more vegetables, I mix everything together in one bowl (rice + black beans + cheese or mashed potatoes + corn + gravy or noodles + peas + parmesan cheese), and I never sit at the table.

What do you eat when you’re alone? Is it something you never eat around anyone else? Admit your favorite food concoctions here!
