The vanilla-flavored real thing

Just when I thought the most exciting thing I'd see all day was a city bus blatantly running a red light, I stepped into the supermarket, and there it was, shining like a beacon: a display of Vanilla Coke in 2-liter bottles and 12-packs. Now, if only the Los Angeles Coke bottler would also produce Cherry Coke in 2-liter bottles and 12-packs the way all the other Coke bottlers do, I'd never drink anything else.

Also, I saw the movie "Sunshine State" today, and it mentioned my hometown once. Come to think of it, it mentioned Tampa, Miami, Orlando, and Tallahassee exactly once, and Jacksonville twice. Also, it featured two people from "NYPD Blue," the janitor from "The Hudsucker Proxy," and Miguel Ferrer, whose mother just died. It was good, albeit a little too ensemble-y for me, and it's a plot (development threatens an African-American community on the Atlantic coast of Florida) that had more relevance 20-25 years ago.
