So Dr. Pepper is doing a promotion with Iron Man 2 where they put the characters on the cans. I bought a 24 pack of diet Dr. Pepper last week and every damn can has the same character, Pepper Potts, on it. WTH?!

I think my 360 is dying. It’s been performing sluggishly of late, and freezing up with increasing frequency. Tonight it completely locked up during the opening mission of Prototype.

If I was a girl, I would have been named Rebecca. I would like to think that I would have shortened it to Becky…or Becca.

Nothing is stopping you from calling yourself Rebecca.

I have to go to work in an hour, and I’m not even 100% sure I’m going to be able to walk there without incident. Damnit, who gets wasted in the middle of the week?

I would have been Roberta. Sooooo… Rebecca’s a nice name.

(I would have posted here as RobertaJustRoberta.)

I would have been Martha. I kid you not. Then again, I was almost Delbert, so I think my parents were on some weird shit in the 70s.

I don’t know what name would have been given to me were I a girl, but I was almost Brian. Fortunately this didn’t happen, since I had four close friends in high school with the name Brian. We all went by our last names anyway.

I was going to be Rachel if I was a girl and was nearly Richard but my parents figured bring R.C (arsey) wasn’t a good set of initials to have.

I also do not know what my name would have been if I were a girl, though I do know Zachary was in the running as my first name. Hmm not sure I’m douchey enough to be a Zach, though maybe my life would have been different had that been my name.

I have no idea what my name would have been had I come out with two X chromosomes. But right up until late, I was very nearly named Anders.

I wonder if it makes sense financially to ever buy food products from Amazon.

Nice to meet you Zach.

I was going to be Liam if I was a boy and Siobhan if I was a girl. Then on the way to the hospital my father decided Siobhan was too hard to spell and pronounce so they had to think of another one.

To be fair, I think he was probably right. He has never remembered my sister’s birthday so I have to think he wouldn’t have been able to spell my name if it had been Siobhan.

I am ashamed to admit it but I might be following the Lindsay Lohan news for the next week or two. grabs popcorn

Heh. My dad always mixed up my sisters’ names. And one time he even used the dog’s name before he caught himself. Simplicity isn’t always a bad thing.

I got Mass Effect 2 for my birthday. Then my 360 RROD. And now I am sad.

Sad Scrax.
