Accomplished: No pop for a year
June 1, 2008

Last June I decided I'd try to go a year without drinking pop, and as of today, I've succeeded! It was harder than I thought -- it seems like an eon ago that I last had any! I grew up drinking the stuff on a regular basis and it's amazing how, in the right context, you can really crave the stuff. Many afternoons at work I would normally have a can of pop, and it got to the point last year that I was having two cans a day. The problem is, it's not good for your teeth, and for me personally it tends to make me feel really low energy by 5:30 if I drink a pop in the middle of the afternoon and don't have anything else to eat.

I have to admire people who aren't even tempted by pop... that would be nice!

Prince Caspian Music
May 31, 2008

Meredith and I saw Prince Caspian in the theatre tonight, and while I did enjoy it, it didn't really captivate me. I was actually a bit bored! Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood. That being said, I think they did a great job producing the movie. When the credits rolled, there were two songs that I really liked. The second of the two sounded suspiciously like the work of Jon Foreman, and I was right!

1.The Call
2.This Is Home

The artist of The Call is Regina Spektor. Here's another nice song:

Samson
