shopping at vons wednesday night for a fruit juice drink was fun. faith hills' "this kiss" was on, then tom petty and the heartbreakers' "cabin down below." it's been so long since i'd heard either. wheeee.

what the hell is up with vons? i wound up swinging by the one across and down the street from home, and all they had was 20-ounce minute maid. pink lemonade or regular! basically no nutritional value to speak of. i wound up buying some weird sunny delight sports drink for kids. "intense sport" comes in six-packs of 11-ounce squeezy bottles with water bottle snap twisty tops (holy schnikes, that's confusingly phrased, kriszty). since there was a buy one, get one free deal, i did. the lemon-lime one is excellent (artificial flavors notwithstanding), i'll try the raspberry ice soon. at least they have vitamin c and a smidgen of a couple of b's.

it's been years upon years since i had a lemon-lime drink. whenever they discontinued serving carbonated fizzy-lifting drinks in my body. i don't think i've even encountered non-carbonated lemon-lime until this one. go sunny delight!

the cashier's name was kristina. the whizened white guy (initially rendered memorable by his gold earring) in front of me called her krista just as i was mentally conversing with her ("hey, my girlfriend's name is krista"). no, i did not mishear.

earlier in the day, oviatt library mook wayne cohen got his los angeles public library card today. there's irony for you (the morisette kind, don'tcha think?).
