It’s nigh upon midnight as I begin writing this. Unless I’m really fast, it’ll be after once I finally post it. I’m quite tired. Tired enough that I doubt I will need the TV on to fall asleep (more on this in another post).

This’ll be a quick post anyway. I did some grocery shopping on the way home from spending some time with the Alex and Sheree. While at Supra Wal-Marte, the thought came into my head that has come into my head for years while sitting at home but NEVER when I was actually at a grocery store or making a list of groceries to buy.

That thought centered around an item of pure genius. Pure delight. That item was a flavored syrup, the kind that people put in coffee. But I don’t drink coffee.

So what? Why would I get such a thing? Because those flavored syrups go into more than coffee. For example, they can be used in a chilled Coke Zero. A chilled Coke Zero just like the one I had in a glass in front of me not moments ago (before emptying that glass into my mouth).

I’m not much of a carbonated beverage drinker. It just doesn’t appeal to me, except for the more exotic carbonated beverages such as apple beer, or a finely aged ginger ale/beer. A real vanilla Coke also counts. When my friends and I used to go to Denny’s all the time and spend hours on end there, we’d get real vanilla Cokes.

It’s been years since we did that regularly and I’ve had a mad craving for such goodness. Now I have the ingredients to make them whenever I want. If you come over, I’ll make you one too. So cheers everyone.

Now I’m going to bed.
