The local convenience stores didn’t have the new Pepsi bottles with the iTunes game caps yet, but I figured that the major metro centers would get the new bottles first. I was right. On my way back from Philly tonight I stopped by 7-11 (Why was I in Philly? Long story). Sure enough, some of the bottles had the new caps and the all important “1 in 3 Wins a Free Song on iTunes” labels. I bought two bottles, and one cap was a winner.

My song? Feelin’ Alright by Traffic, a band I’d never really listened to, but I’ve always remembered them since my brother told me about the band.

iTunes rocks.

Y’know, Ben Cohen of Ben&Jerry’s ice cream fame (they both sold the company a couple of years ago).

Take a look at Ben’s spot for TrueMajority. (Liberals rejoice, Conservatives get ready to spit nails). Hey, it’s something to think about, or at least investigate further (my answer to everything is further education).

You can go to this site to see the SuperBowl ads for this year. They didn’t seem very inventive this year (except for maybe the Jimi Hendrix one–that was kind of funny). The site has older years, but it looks like they’re only in Windows Media Player format…

(Also, this year’s ad page seems to work better in IE for Mac, not Safari)

Check it out at IMDB.

For some reason Denise mentioned this morning that she would like to rent A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and watch it sometime. I replied that she already saw the movie when it was remade in American form as The Birdcage. A lively discussion followed, where Denise eventually took my word for it.

I was of course thinking about La Cage aux Folles. You’d think the title would have clued me in, but it took me a while to realize it. I always think of those two movies together because (I think) of J.D. Harville, an old friend at Penn State who loved both movies. Hey, nobody’s perfect. It’s not like I’d confuse Goonies and Gremlins, right? Right?

Never mind.

I was mentioning good movies to my sister, and she remarked that she hadn’t really thought that My Big Fat Greek Wedding was very funny. Why? “I told people it’s much to close to my real family for me to find anything funny in it.”

Heh heh.
