getting lots of mileage out of the flipped ponytails

Perhaps I didn't clean out my cup sufficiently to remove all the orange juice from this morning, but this Diet Coke (the only knob currently installed on the Grace soda machine) tastes an awful lot like cough syrup. In a way, that's one way to fool my brain into thinking it's getting *medicine. However, it's also a crummy way to eat your alfredo noodles.



*Note for Mother (because she'll be concerned): I don't have a cough, but do have lots of stuff stuck in my throat. Meds help, and make me funny and loopy!
