The Decline of Western Civilization

Heard in Starbucks this morning: "Okay, here's your grande decaf sugar-free vanilla skim latte."

Really? What's the point?!

Diet Heaven

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper....Granted, it's not as good as the "real thing" at Sonic, but it's a pretty fantastic substitute. I highly recommend it.

Better Late Than Never

I finally, FINALLY got the OC season one on DVD...and it really IS this generation's 9-0. I hate to admit it, but I'm a big fan (granted, the blood orange mimosas I've been downing all evening may have had an impact on my enthusiasm, but nevertheless). Mindless, cheezy drama...with the added bonus of Adam Brody, who is my new teen crush. I've been loving him since his "Gilmore Girls" days as Lane's long-suffering, guitar-playing boyfriend Dave, even though I'm probably 10 years older than he is, which is rather frightening.

My dearest Janie is the one who always had the crushes on the younger men - I was more of the "Aragorn! (sigh)" kind of chick, but this boy just might make me change my mind.

He's dreamy.
