Well, the shoe fits, so I must acquit. Or maybe it means I'm Prince Charming? Or... no, wait... If the shoe fits... wear it.

Looks nice, fits comfortably, Mom likes them better than my old ones... things are good. Yay!

In other news, I a got a letter in the mail today to acknowledge/confirm that I chose email instead of paper delivery, so they don't have to send me any more letters. Gotta love it.

(In truth, I'm glad they did. Means someone can't hack my account and change the delivery settings without my finding out about it. Still, you gotta appreciate the irony.)

In yet other news... We've just taken a step closer to Back To The Future II's vision of 2015.

In that future, Marty orders a Pepsi, only to be served a vitamin-enriched Pepsi Perfect:

Meanwhile, just this month, the Coca-Cola company came out with a new product: Diet Coke Plus.

"Each 8-ounce serving of Diet Coke Plus provides 15% of the daily value for niacin and vitamins B6 and B12, and 10% for zinc and magnesium."

Yes, that's right. It's enriched with up to 15% of your RDA of five vitamins and minerals! Wow.

But hey, it's an interesting step.

Now, where's my flying car...?

Now, where's my flying car...?

You're gonna have to give up your left foot...

My left foot for a flying car... Hmm... I'll have to think about that. As long as I still had my driving foot and a decent prosthetic to help me on the short trips from the car to wherever I'm going... It might just be worth it...

(Am I missing a reference, btw?)

It's from a Kevin Smith short featuring Brian O'Halloran (Dante) and Jeff Anderson (Randall) that aired during Jay Leno.

Yeah, just found that on IMDB this second. Thanks for the YouTube link, tho. Might have to check that out. Even if the only thing Kevin Smith has done that I actually liked was his run on Daredevil...

always glad to see bttf news ;) also, there was talk of a flying car a while back (think it was called a volantir) but i havent heard about it in a while. keep meaning to google and see how they're coming along, i thought it was supposed to be out by now.

ok here we go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moller_Skycar

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for the link.

A little out of my price range, unfortunately, and it seems like they've got a ways to go.

Not to mention that you'd still need a pilot's license and that the whole thing would probably be pretty noisy (and would push stuff around like a leafblower on steroids).

Cool design, though. Kind of like a four-seater Harrier or Osprey.

I remember as a kid wanting to design a car that could convert into a helicopter. I imagined a network of minature air traffic control towers based at major gas stations.

Oh well. Seems we've got a ways to go.

Yay for new shoes! :D (Again.)

See ya,
Anna.
