It looks like there is FINALLY some physical movement happening on the future site of the Redwood City In N Out.
This is disappointing, but not exactly surprising. At least it frees up Kiefer to be in lots more terrible movies.
I truly hate Heidi more and more every year.

Top 5 Friday!
5 things Caltrain needs:
5) Trains that run past midnight (who comes home from SF at 12?)
4) More mid-day trains (once an hour? Come on.)
3) Conductors who don't act like total jerks
2) Bar cars after 3 p.m. (Wait, what's that about a deficit? You're welcome.)
1) A hole in the floor enclosed on all sides on each car (cleaner than the existing bathrooms)

I'm about to blow your mind.
Wow I've been blogging slacker, but that's a post for different day. Today I have something extremely important to tell you.
Aspartame is more addictive then caffeine.
You know how caffeine is this highly-addictive drug? Well, it's got nothin on the stuff they put in diet pop.
As you may remember, I started on this journey toward freedom from the drug more than a year and a half ago. It was not pretty. There were withdrawal headaches, which were not ameliorated by replacing the caffeine in pop with that in coffee and taking lots of Excedrin. Then I got bronchitis, which was very suspiciously-timed, and it may be a crackpot theory that the two are related, but withdrawal can do weird things to your body. (The bronchitis morphed into walking pneumonia, but I think that was because the doctor didn't give me strong enough antibiotics.) Even though I was getting as much or more caffeine then when I was just drinking diet pop, I was cranky on days when I didn't have any pop. My weight was up and down like a yo-yo.
At first I was on an every-other-day plan and gradually scaled back till I could go a week without pop. Today I have it 2-3 times a week, almost always when we're eating out. When I've gone two or three days without pop, I don't think about it, but if it's the day after I've had some, I crave it. As for caffeine, right now I just have one, maybe two cups of caffeinated tea a day, plus the occasional pop. And I never miss coffee.
OK, so this is not a scientific sample size. But it's pretty obvious that, at least in my case, the aspartame is way more addictive than caffeine.

Manic Monday!
I dig the way links open in tabs next to the one you're working in in the new version of Firefox.
I bought a new mp3 player so I could listen to audiobooks, since for some crazy reason my walkman doesn't support it, and am enjoying The Help.
Apparently 4 is the age at which males start holding long, narrow objects in front of them and declaring "I have a big penis!"
And behold this, the video of the week: Baby Hates Miley Cyrus, digs the Classics.
