movies in 3s

no long ago we (brother & i) did a re-watch of the first two mummy movies from the late '90s.

the first is better than the second & the second is better than the third.
which is true for a lot of movies where there was 3 of them. the first x-men movies & jurassic park movies come to mind. the only ones to break this rule are the original star wars movies, where the second was the better one. & the back to the future movies, where the first one was good and the two that followed were equally just ok.

DQ cinnamon pull-apart

gave into temptation last time i was a dairy queen & tried their  cinnamon pull-apart roll. i regretted it.

first of all it was nearly rock hard & difficult to cut with the little plastic knife and fork they provided.
second of all the cinnamon was just awful! it was the really cheap kind and stays with you far longer than it should. that's the problem with cheap cinnamon.
there's a convenience store near here that has food that you can order. they have a little cup of churros (10 or so small pieces) that i had a couple of times. the first time the cinnamon didn't bother me, but the second time it did so i decided it wasn't worth it. pity.

pepsi 1893

pepsi put out two new drinks recently, we (brother & i tried them) & i was reminded why we don't care for the vast majority of pepsi products.

the first one, a cola, taste like generic cola. probably because of the kola nut ingredient.

the second one, a ginger cola, had a "bite" to it, but not as much as a ginger beer (nonalcoholic) we once tried & left a warm, tingly feeling on the back of my tongue & throat.

my birthday 2016

Your Birthday's Wisdom is Action

If there is one thing you've learned in life, it's get moving. Procrastination just makes things so much worse. If you dream it, you do it. You believe in going for it. And as a result, you've had success in many arenas. You would rather regret what you did than regret what you were scared to do.

What's Your Birthday's Wisdom?

what kind of breakfast are you?

You Are Cereal

Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day. (In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.) Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food. Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

What Kind of Breakfast Are You?

i just realized

....i don't know if march came in like a lion & went out like a lamb, or vise-versa  the weather people usually make a big deal out of it, but i don't recall that this year.

PB & J gummies

not long ago we (brother & i) tried welch's creamy PB & J fruit snacks. not really impressive in our humble opinions. the gummy part was just the usual kind & "came back" on us. the peanut butter was practically tasteless.

and the little pouches were nearly impossible to open. so i don't see if it's meant to be a thing to put into a kind's lunch, i don't see how they could open it.
