Curse You Diet Coke with Splenda!!!

I used to drink waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much Diet Coke--it was my favorite thing. Then one day I woke up and my tastes had totally changed and it didn't taste good any more. I blame my medicine. (I blame everything on my medicine because its fun.) I will still drink an occasional Diet Coke at a restaurant; restaurants seem to have the right carbonation.

One nice thing about BCFG is that they have two fridges full of drinks for the employees. However, they have Diet Coke with Splenda. Diet Coke with Splenda tastes nasty. It does not taste like Diet Coke. It does not taste like regular Coke. It just tastes bad. I had one my first week of working there, not noticing that it was the "with Splenda" kind and almost spit it out. Today we had lunch in the office to celebrate both Will and Mama X's birthday and, once again, I forgot about the Splenda until I opened the can of Diet Coke, so I had to drink it. Curse you Diet Coke with Splenda!!!

In other news, I haven't been able to get that Kelly Clarkson song out of my head. It never should have been there to begin with and now it has taken up residence and won't leave. However the song lead me to discuss the worst movie ever made (and yes, I know that's a big statement), "From Justin to Kelly" with a friend last night. In case you haven't seen the movie, here's a sneek peek... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6kbtsfZjhk (I had to post the link only--YouTube won't let me embed.) There's so much to say about this movie...the bad songs, the bad clothes, the bad hair...it all comes together to make something delightfully bad. (Kind of like "Snakes on a Plane," but not scary and worse.) Unfortunately, this clip leaves out my favorite bit of dialog, so I'll include it for you. (No, I don't know why I remember this--I have a good memory and have all sorts of things like this stored away in my brain)

Justin: Hi, I'm Justin
Kelly: My friends call me Kelly

I've always enjoyed that bit of dialog because Kelly isn't a nickname for anything. Do people who aren't her friends call her Ms. Clarkson, or are they pretending that Kelly is short for something like Kellelina (pronounced like Angelina)?

Anyway, if you're looking for a movie this weekend, that's my recommendation. It is available on Netflix, however you'll have to wait for the disk. : (
