Gen Con 2009 Day 2 (morning)
Thursday, August 13th
6:00 AM
OK, a little back story here. I went to Norway in May on a vacation. Now, in Norway, everything is price inflated. I used this as a springboard excuse to try out a little experiment with soda pop. Since a glass of coke at a restaurant cost something like $8, I resolved to give up soda. The experiment would run for 3 months and I would see if there is anything to the myth that you can lose weight just by cutting out sugared pop. Cutting down from an average of 3 cans a day to nothing should display some result right?
It didn't. But that is not the point. The point is that yesterday was the end of said 3 months. Ordinarily I am almost completely immune from caffeine, however I neglected to take into consideration that my body may have lost some of its tolerance for the drug in the last 3 months. So last night when playing Nate's game, it was dumb beyond all recognition to have the can of Dr. Pepper that I quickly consumed. The first can of soda I have had in 3 months. This was without a doubt the stupidest thing I have done since setting up my kids vaporizer directly on the hardwood floor.
I now go into Gen Con with only 4 hours of sleep on the first night. Yeah.... great planning.
More to come tonight when we return.

Ha!
Awesome.
Hardwood floor, eh? While I have never put it on the floor, I have neglected to ensure the tank was correctly seated on the base before flipping it over.
Whoops...water everywhere.
Three months without a soda and the first thing you put in your gut is a Dr. Pepper? The Dew Gods are not pleased...
