the jones thanksgiving sodas......i wish i could undo the memory of the taste.
it was not even close to what the flavours were.
1st, they were all sweet...with splenda.
you don't want to taste "turkey and gravy" that is artificially sweetened. it's just wrong. very very wrong.
then it was wild rice stuffing. it tasted exactly like alka seltzer...with spenda.
but the worst was not over, i am sorry to say.
then was the brussel sprouts flavour. i don't know WHAT that tasted like but it is now at the top of my list of worst tasting thing ever. i would eat liver before i would ever drink a drop of that soda ever again.
and that is saying a lot. because i loathe and depise liver intensely and even the smell of it makes me ill.
but i would seriously eat RAW liver before i would ever drink another drop of jones brussel sprout soda.
it was the worst and most wrong thing EVER. i would rather eat a tire.
then i thought it would get better because the next one was cranberry...how could you go wrong?
but they did. it was just horrible diet cranberry blech.
then last, the pumpkin pie soda, i thought that sounded good and had hopes it might be good up until i had the cranberry one. it kind of smelled vaguelly of pumpkin pie but i don't know what it tasted like.
still, if i were forced to drink it at gun point, i suppose i could.
but i would not drink brussel sprout soda at gun point.
i would rather die.
i wish i could undo the memory.
it's been an hour and i still feel extremely grossed out.
i've even had an altoid and i can still taste that damn soda.
i don't know what they were thinking when they made that. i don't know who approved that.
i don't know if the company goes out of their way to make sure it is the worst tasting thing ever or what in the hell is going on in their heads.
but hey, we bought it and tasted it, and i guess that is all that counts to them.

*shivers*

oh, and the package comes with spork and moist towlette.
B+ for the idea but F- for any pleasure derived from buying this except for the laughter i got out of it that it even existed and that it came with a spork and moist towlette.

anyway, for me to find these sodas absolutely undrinkable under any circumstances is unusual. because i am not a picky eater and i love bizarre flavours and combinations and i go out of my way to always order the the weirdest thing on the menu.
hell, even last week i made myself a salsa tobasco sauce sardine parmesean cheese sandwhich and i not only ate it, i made ANOTHER one and ate that too, and pretty much thought it was the shiznit. and i'll eat raw octopus with flying fish eggs, happily.
so it's not like i don't like weird food.

but will i ever try another weird jones soda? no, i will not.

7:38pm

wow, 600 thread bedsheets are the shiznit. i'm never going back to 300 or 400.
600 is like satin! mmmmmmmmmmm :)
damn i wish i could have afforded the matching pillowcases! dang!
so sillllky!

took out more trash and i was very very happy to see that people are taking my clothes. thank GOD.
i just want things to go to good homes.
maybe i should just out the cds out, too.
god knows i've gotten so many free cds in my life. i should give some back to the universe.
what goes around comes around, you know?

oh and i bought a little back scrubber thing for the tub. it was only 4 bucks :)

6:56pm

matching all my cds to their cases was quite a job.
and there are some i could not find cases to and some cases which i could not find the cds.
bummer.
but i have a ton of cds to sell now, i hope cheapo will buy most of them.
i need the $ 'cause i just bought new small area rugs from target (one $30 and one $15) because those old ones pretty much had seen their day, especially after i got cake all over that one from the cake night.
i just didn't want to deal with it.
then i bought all new red bulbs for my lamp, the red ones i had in before were alll fading and then i had 2 black lights in one and then one just had a white light.
they were ALL working, tho.
so i put in all new red ones thinkiing it will look so nice and now 1/2 of my lamp will not light up!
i am so bummed! and it's not the bulbs fault, because i put the old bulbs back in that had been working and now they won't work.
i am so bummed! wtf is the deal?
i wish i was an electrician so i could fix my awesome mod lamp! it's my favourite!
why would it just stop working??

arrrrgh.

and i bought 1 600 thread count fitted sheet for my bed (i thought it was a deal at $30)since i only have 1 pair of sheets now.
i couldn't afford matching pillow cases because i got the rugs.

but i am going to go put the new sheet on and luxuriate.
and jason bought those thanksgiving jones sodas and they are even zero calorie!
too funny.

i will have to write the descriptions down for you.
but basically one soda is turkey, one is mashed potatoes, one is brussels sprouts, one is pumpkin pie and i forgot what the 5th one is.

so we are going to try those and watch arrested development because jason has it on dvd from netflix.

i have been making such progress getting rid of stuff and organizing, it's rather shocking for me.
i'm proud of myself for being able to do it.
the more stuff i get rif of the more i want to get rid of.
feng shui!

i wish i could get rid of everything from my house right now this very second all the things i have in boxes that i have marked for getting rid of.
but i do want to sell the cds and i do want to sell all my music and anacam memorabelia. (see below for the deal of the century)

ok going to go put my new sheet on my bed. woo hoo!

12:07pm

for 12 hours yesterday i worked on sorting through boxes of momentos.
i think i got rid of about 4 boxes of paper things.
one was this MASSIVE box, and i mean it must have weighed 60 pounds, of letters and notes with people i am in no longer contact with.
i had saved every single note my best friend kristin and i had given each other from 6th grade through 9th grade.
and then a big box of letters between me and this camp counselor i had a crush on named claude.
i was too young for him then, but then as the decades passed i did have the chance to finally kiss him, but by then i wasn't interested in him that way anymore. it was weird.
i also through away all the love letters from my 2nd boyfriend, from england, howie.
and then i even found some notes and stuff from my 1st boyfrined, ed. i thought i had gottem rid of all that because when we broke up i put everything he had ever given me in a box and handed it back to him.
i had also saved every flyer from his band, the dig and the 27 various.
i started making a pile for him and i was going to email and ask him if he would be interested in having this stuff.
and then i thought, fuck it, we should i do that for him?
so i threw it away.
then all the notes we had passed between all my friends from 10th grade through 12 th grade, just everyone...i keot them all. it was all bitching about how class was boring and someone was being 2 faced and then we would talk about new wave.
i tried to read them all but then just thought..fuck it...i was there...i remember. i don't need this to remind me anymore. and i don't talk to these people anymore. and i thought of maybe selling them, but then i thought that was just too personal. so i threw it away so now it is just in my memory.
and i threw away all the letters and trinkets from my boyfriend, cris.
and then i went through and got rid of all the photos of any boyfriends i had that didn't have me in them.
all that fucking old energy. fuck it. i want to move on.
and then i found soooo many more ticket stubs. i think i will keep the ticket stubs now.
i have devo from 1983 and U2 from 1986 and just all sorts of good stuff.
and then i went through EVERYTHING from my entire musical career of the blue up? and my solo stuff. and anacam as well!
and i had saved 5 of every flyer or magazine article or 500 gazillion billion of bios and press photos and press releases.
and i got it down so i just have ONE of everything.
and i have a big box now of extra flyers, magazines i have been in and photos and everything and i can't decide if i should sell these articles one by one or if i should sell the entire box for $444 or something.
and then whoever buys it can sell off stuff. it's worth more than $444. that's for sure. at least to me it is.
there is stuff in there that is so rare there is no way anyone would have a copy.
i even have in there unopened press things that we were to mail off to radio stations and labels. one is my demo and bio i sent to labels in england with a demo tape inside. and one is a press thing with our very first single in it.
i don't even know what is all in there because these are unopened.
plus unopened rare other things. and very very rare blue up press photos. and the yahoo internet life with me on the cover, still sealed.
if anyone would like to buy this box from me for $444 speak up.
you will NEVER get a deal like this again.
this is everything i have from my entire musical career in ONE box.
ticket stubs from when we played with robyn hitchcock, etc.
flyers made by me with my artwork on them.

i cannot stress to you how frickin rare this is and how complete it is. this is the deal of the century from me.

i'm giving you, ana2 members, 1st dibs, but if no one grabs this this weekend, then i am going to give the offer out to the public.

i also got every single letter from my mom and dad in one box. and i'm going to go through and just get it down to the letters where they are telling me about their lives and get rid of the hallmark cards they have me where they just signed it "mom" or "dad".

i have sooooo many photos to scan in it's out of control.
so many cool ones. i wonder of my scanner even worls still. i don't even know.

it's grey and 50 degrees out.

then i found a box way tucked into a closet i went through, just when i thought i was done.
then i got all my boxes of video cassettes and went through those and sorted them and i have a box to get rid of of movies i have already seen and stuff.
today i think i will go through all my cds and cassettes and try to make sense of them.
because so much stuff is not in the right cases. and there are a lot of cds i have where i only like one song off it. so i will rip that into an mp3 and then sell the cds for some extra cash.
so that will take all day because i have hundreds of cds and hundreds of cassettes.

oh! and i also found my autographs of pinchas zukerman, sheila e, prince!, and jimmy carter's mother before jimmy because president :)
and a letter from tori :)

Horoscope for Aries (November 5 2005)

Try to get along with everyone and focus on more challenging prospects. A chance to make some lifestyle changes will be based on how integrated you become in a philosophy you investigate. Open-mindedness will be the key to your success.

and

Subjective thinking
Weak, transient effect: This influence can signify a critical time in your communications with the people around you, particularly those with whom you are intimately involved. The danger is that your feelings and emotions will overwhelm your rational intellect, making your thinking so subjective that no one else will be able to relate to what you say. Nevertheless you have a strong need to communicate about your emotions. You should avoid dealing with controversy by changing your own views every time someone disagrees with them. You will tend now to change your views according to the prevailing wind, but this may result in compromising yourself if the people you have "agreed" with compare viewpoints. However, it is natural for your opinions to be in a state of flux at this time. Just be honest about admitting it.

and

Step slowly now, Aries, as you consider the relationships in the forefront of your life. Be careful if you are thinking about moving into new territory for something better, for it might simply be your impulsive attraction to the unknown. You will do best these days by reminding yourself to enjoy what you have instead of coveting what you don't.

and

Saturday we move into Capricorn, Venus precedes the moon into the sign of the physical body, contracts and generally the tangible plane. Until the middle of next month we have this fresh air of Venus in the sign of restrictions. An opportunity to adjust and infuse those parts of our lives with what we call beauty and morals. It's a busy day with lots of aspects, the tone of bringing something fresh and harmonious into the realm of the 3-D. Little steps, remembering it takes exponentially more energy to create momentum then to maintain it.
