hot, but not a grad student; too bad

It's a pitty that this kid isn't the head of some BackStreet Boys Studies Program. Yet another reason why Academia has missed the mark.

with all the media coverage on race, the debate over who says and can say what, what is the what, and the Tyra Banks show, i find that the statement my friend Dave White said in his 2005 UROP presentetation rings truer everyday:

white people don't know jack sht about race.

but the Fox taxi cab animated commercial is amazing. Unfortunately, this sample clip gives you little to know idea about why it's amazing. One commercial shows the cabbie trying to learn english on tape, repeating the phrase, "which detention center am I supposed to go to?" or something like that.

Product Review: Fitz's Pop - Strawberry and Grape

Thanks to Adam O., I've been enjoying 4-packs of Fitz's fine stuff since Spring Break. I burned through the Strawberry Soda lickety-split and I'm now on to the Grape Pop.

Both are delightful. The Strawberry is smooth. You might want to wear deck shoe when you drink it; it's that refreshing. The Grape Pop is a little more daring - something like the taste of medicine; it's got kick.

Being from the Northeast, I take pride in calling carbonated bevs "soda" as opposed to "pop" or "tonic." But, since Fitz's is so good, I'm likely to call it just about anything they want me to.

This soda/pop/tonic experience is native to St. Louis, I think it's on the Loop, this part of St. Louis that's kinda hip and far away from the crime and the poor people.

Rating: "I'll call it anything you want me to" on a soda to pop rating scale
