ever try to quit coke?
I have. Diet coke.
Pelligrino works well. The fizzy bubblies help. Juice is too sweet. Tea is too hot. This sets the stage.
I was drinking pomegranate juice the other day. Yum de dum. At the computer, of course. All was going well and then... I knock the glass over. A full glass, of pomegranate juice. Off-white carpet. *pain* It looked like a murder scene, it looked like I had a botched abortion involving projectile fetuses. There was juice on the carpet, there was juice on the wall, and the other wall, and the other wall. There was juice on the bookshelves, there was juice on the door. There was juice miraculously 6ft up on the wall.
And let me tell you-- the horror of pillow-sized stains of red on white carpet is enough to make you feel very, almost inexplicably guilty. You've done something very, very wrong, your mind says. Much scrubbing ensues. My hands turn pink, the floor turns white, and the walls turn purple. Trying not to think of the quantities of bleach and fumes involved, I'd say it turned out rather well. Except I tried giving up diet coke and it was a colossal waste of juice.
Maybe I should stick to water?
