Meg, does that vitamin water have any fake sugar in it.  I love the idea of these low calorie drinks but I can't stand the taste of any of those fake sugars.  Not to mention I have a paranoia of eating man made cancer causing chemicals.

I hope there is nothing too bad in Vitamin Water because they are damn GOOD.  However, I am pretty sure there is like yellow 40 and red whatever the food colors are.  I guess that's not that great, but compared to a big mac or a coke, probably better (i hope). [smiley=happy.gif]

So, this got me freaked a little, so I looked up my favorite favor, which I drink everyday after my workout.....

Vitamin Water by Glaceau
Power C - Dragonfruit

Ingredients - vapor distilled, deionized, and/or reverse osmosis water, crystalline fructose, citric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), natural flavor, dragonfruit extract, vegetable juice (color), magnesuim lactate (electrolyte), taurine, zincpicolinate, calcium lactate (electrolyte), niacin (b3), monopotassium phosphate (electrolyte), pantothenic acid (b5), pyridoxine, hydrochloride (b6), cyanocobalamin (b12), chromium polynicotinate.

OK - i am glad I was wrong about the color, but to be honest, I have no idea if any of that shit in the list  causes cancer or whatever BH said.  All I can say is MEG IS WAY RIGHT!!!  The vitamin water is awesome.

Carnivale!    

Season 2 was fantastic!  One of the greatest TV seasons ever.  It just killed me, KILLED ME, when I found out they weren't going to continue the series.  How will I ever solve the mysteries?

Holy shit Zelda!  My very first video game obsession!

I still own most of those games and early atari ones too. I almost died because of Zelda when I was 11 or 12. My brother was totally obsessed with the game and was playing it one night while I was upstairs in the kitchen accidentally stabbing myself in the wrist with a knife (not attempting suicide, but trying to cut burned muffins out of a tin). I was bleeding like crazy, but he was so into the game that he didn't respond until I came running downstairs with blood spurting everywhere. He helped me seek medical attention after he came out of his Zelda zone. I loved that game but held a sort of grudge against it for awhile.

i think the trend chart for "christmas" is hilarious.
