Mmm, caffeine.

travellingone's latest post reminded me about this...

First of all, I must have been really tired last night. I feel asleep within minutes of going to bed and didn't wake up until nearly 1 this afternoon. I went out for my usual coffee at Starbucks and then went for my customary walk around the neighbourhood while I drank it. About half a block north of Yonge and Eglinton, roughly outside the Indigo entrance, there was a cart where they were giving out free samples of Coca-Cola Blak in eight-ounce bottles. Since I'd been wanting to try it (I couldn't find it when I was in Atlanta - go figure), I lined up and got a bottle. Since I was still drinking my coffee, I stuck it into my coat pocket and continued my walk. Down on the corner of Yonge and Eglinton, there was another guy handing out samples, and he handed one to me as I walked by (I guess he didn't see the first bottle protruding from my pocket). So now I have two bottles of Coca-Cola Blak chilling in my fridge. I'll let you know what I think later.

It feels weird to have the air conditioner on when it's, what, 14 degrees outside? But even though the TV was telling me that was 14 when I went out, the sun felt warmer. Not to mention, my superintendent finally turned on the heat in the building last night, so my apartment was roasting when I got back from my walk. And while I was out, I was experiencing that odd sensation of the air being cool but still feeling the heat of the sun on my back. Or maybe I just felt warm because I wore my leather jacket instead of one of my windbreakers.

It's pretty crisp out... but if you stand in direct sunlight? Forget about it.

The trek from USTC to the LCBO was horrrrible. "I didn't come to Toronto to sweat!"

OMFG - Pet Shop Boys in three days!

The workout is good for you. :P

Two days, now. Well, a little over two and a half, since it's 3 AM. *bounce*bounce*bounce*

I tried a sip of Coca-Cola Blak a couple of weeks back. My first impression was I was drinking a Cofee Crisp bar.

For me, give me my Coke the natural brown bubbly way.

Interesting. I like Coffee Crisp, actually.

I still haven't cracked mine open - maybe tomorrow. I'm so used to drinking fruit juice that I just naturally reached for the pitcher tonight at dinner, and I'm not drinking a caffeinated beverage at this time of night.

Based on your getting free Cola Blak, & based on the description of it tasting like a chocolate bar, I bought one...In a word, BLEECH.....$1.99 for that tiny little bottle, & I thought it was dreadful...

I have yet to hear anyone say that they like it more than the original version, but you're the first person I've heard sy "BLEECH". ($1.99? Yikes!)

I still haven't cracked mine open. I'll let you know what I think when I do.
