So, the entry requests are coming in thick and fast for my contest!

Well, not too thick and fast, but I've gotten a few, and I'd like a few more! So c'mon you fabulous logo designers, I know that you're out there, ask me what the phrase is that I'm going to re-name my journal, and throw some sugar my way!

Complete details in yesterday's entry.

The day before yesterday, I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, when I got a call from Cynthia.

CYNTHIA
Hey, you're answering your phone!

ME
O, it's only temporary, what's up?

CYNTHIA
Are you a good union (Screen Actors Guild) member?

ME
Of course I am!

CYNTHIA
And do you support the strike?

ME
Of course I do!

CYNTHIA
And would you do anything that your union asked?

ME
Anything.

CYNTHIA
Because an action has come down to the membership.

ME
O yeah?

CYNTHIA
We have to boycott Pepsi.

ME
O no...

CYNTHIA
They wouldn't sign the interim agreement and...

ME
O God...

CYNTHIA
...they did a commercial with non-union actors in the first week of the strike.

ME
O my God...

CYNTHIA
So, no more Pepsi for you.

ME
What the fuck am I going to do? I'll, o my God, I'll try. I'll do it.

CYNTHIA
I certainly hope so! Support your union!

After I hung up, The Raccoon thought that someone had died! Honestly, though, this will be one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do. You don't know how much Pepsi I drink, man, usually four 20 oz bottles a day.

Yesterday I had an Irn-Bru with my lunch. I like Irn-Bru, but it's just not the same. Thank God for the few Pepsis in my fridge that I bought before that fateful call.

I was thinking, how much harm will a few actors not buying Pepsi do to a multinational company? Then I realized, when one of those actors is me, who tends to have a continuous intravenous drip of Pepsi going at all times, a great deal!

"Sales on the Eastern Seaboard have dropped 20% in the last week, sir!"
"O my God, has anyone spoken to Kymm?"

Here's an interesting project, Jen and Cara (sorry, can't find your URL!) have begun a site on the history of Online journals. A five year history isn't very long, you say? Well, it is in web years! To quote Lorne Greene, "That's 105 to you and me!"

Have you been around that long? Readers too, not just writers? Then join the discussion list and help share your memories.

And don't forget the Journal of the Week!

Today's horoscope:
Today you can be extra practical and sensible. Don't work so hard that you forget to also kick back and enjoy life.

One year ago today:
I am broke as a window, baby.
