random blurb time (7-12-10)

*I finally returned to Kings Dominion this past weekend, after 15+ years. The last time I was there, I was too short (and too scared) to ride any of the coasters. I rode all of them but 2 on Saturday (the lines were either unruly, or I was exhausted). I can finally say I've been on Volcano, and almost blacked out on the Intimidator 305 coaster. Pretty sure we all started to get tunnel vision while flying around the first massive turn... I-N-T-E-N-S-E

*Spain won the World Cup yesterday. WOO HOO! I would've preferred Brazil in the final match, so I'm glad the Netherlands lost due to the fact that they knocked my fave team out of the quarterfinals.

*The quality of movies this summer has been very hit-or-miss. I'm glad that the last 3 movies I saw were all enjoyable (Knight and Day, Despicable Me, and Predators)

*Summer is definitely reaching that point where work, plans, events, and everything in-between is starting to stack up. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just saying... PHEW, I love it all... but it definitely makes me thankful for the down-time when I can embrace a nap

*I glanced @ my Brazil jersey last night, and was suddenly reminded of the unopened soda can of Brazil's very own Guarana Antarctica. If you've had the privilege of trying it, you know how unique and faaaantastic it is. I'm seriously on the hunt now to find some, after hearing/reading rumors that it can be found in select stores/restaurants here in the States.

*I've come to the final decision that Sonic food makes me feel gross. Same goes for McDonald's, Taco Bell, and almost every other fast food joint that I eat at throughout the month. Ideally, I would cut all of those out of my dining habits... and sneak Wawa in every now and then to indulge, because Wawa's never done me wrong like the others have.

*Google "Paul the octopus" and read any of the articles that come up about his prophetic World Cup predictions. Bizarre & amusing stuff from those crazy superstitious Germans.

*Even though I remembered that yesterday (7-11-10) was National Free Slurpee Day @ 7-11, I still forgot to go and get one when I was out & about driving in the vicinity of numerous 7-11's


I could probably keep going and going, but I'll cut this post off there. Until next time!
