Orlando Door Code name: Pepsi

This is the best freakin’ Pepsi I’ve ever had, I have to at least say that much. I’ve only leaked again one time since, and that was when I was down in FTL for work and I had to go to the emergency room for severe bronchitis. I was coughing up blood and I wondered if I was going to die or something stupid like that (as if *I*, of all people, could die) without ever telling Pepsi…well…the things that you tell Pepsi. (For those of you who talk to your Pepsi, like me)

Anyway, I had some Pepsi the weekend after I went to the ER and things started to feel better and shape right up Talk about a magic potion!

So…I’ve updated the blogging software once again. I have the latest and best version of it (I *do* try to keep up with it) as of last night.

Last night, I also enjoyed some DDO One Liners. It’s such a fun game, and the characters are also fun. Unlike a conventional MMO, there’s no grinding necessary. You spend the first 20 minutes learning the basic controls of the game, the next hour playing with a slightly more advanced area and learning what it’s like to play with other characters, and then SHAZAM!!!(thanks VG Cats!) you get plunged into the world of creative parties, escaping traps, and figuring out puzzles.

A real RPG…who would have thought? I’m considering taking up casually playing again sometime in the future…after all, Pepsi plays FFXI. Why can’t I play stuff, too?

Now, let’s get down to the lemon of the story. The lemon, you say? That’s right. Sometimes people have lemons with their Pepsi. Strange, but true. It’s not my personal taste, but it seems to be working out lately. Lemons are a fine fruit, if used properly. However, I like the lemon floating in the Pepsi, maybe adding a little spark to the flavor, but I don’t like it mixing with the Pepsi. I’m not the kind of person that enjoys having lemon squeezed in and mixed thoroughly with my Pepsi. With lemons, no matter how good they are, you can only have so much of them. You have to draw a line saying, “Here is the lemon. Here is the Pepsi. A lemon is not Pepsi, and a Pepsi is not a lemon.” The flavors need to remain distinct and zingy. I don’t mind drinking Pepsi slowly, or quickly, or however I feel like drinking it. I enjoy letting the Pepsi sit on my taste buds for a bit before drinking. I do NOT want to have a lemon do the same thing. As such, I shall occasionally be eliminating the lemon completely from the Pepsi just to make sure that my taste buds know the difference between a good drink and a nasty one (because too much lemon ruins the drink), and to teach the lemon that no matter how good it is in moderation, it is still a lemon.

Sorry, lemon…if you want to mix completely, you need to find some 7-Up or some Sprite. I’m not eliminating you from my beverage repertoire, but I am reducing you so that you find the RIGHT mix for you.
