A year ago today I extensively experimented with controlling substances for the sake of 30 in 30. Well I've experienced a lot of bullshit since then, so I thought I'd update you all on that. Also I've been spending 20 hours a day deliriously working on history papers, researching people's annals -- so I don't have time to make 30 in 30 videos or the sanity to do the alchemy necessary to create blogging gold.
Experimentation Redux
Anyway, so yeah last year on this date I did a thorough review of 15 different types of energy drink. This is a sequel to that.
AMP - Amp, the Mountain Dew energy drink, is new since last year. It actually tastes like mountain dew on steroids.. in a good way. Unfortunately they don't sell it in four packs like the other drinks, otherwise I'd stock up. )=
Kabbalah - Kabbalah has come and gone in the intervening year. All of a sudden it was everywhere, and just as quickly it completely disappeared. It was so good, it founded a religion! But yeah I really liked it despite the fact that it was probably part of some creepy religious conspiracy headed by Madonna.
Monster "Juice" - And other forms of "juice" as well. I don't get it. I tried it and it was just.. I dunno. It tasted like an energy drink plus weird.
No Fear Gold - Sobe decided to try to harness the power of "blogging gold" by recreating the chemicals in a bloggists body during such moments of blogging glory. What they discovered was alarming and they promptly destroyed their research and mixed some chemicals together at random. I don't know what specifically they're going for with No Fear Gold, but its a different flavour than normal red can No Fear and I actually kind of like it. Plus both No Fear flavours are currently at $5.99 a four-pack while everything else is at $6.99 and I'm not one to argue with a dollar.
Other Developments: Most energy drinks used to be $1.99 a year ago but now they've risen to $2.19. Forget war for oil (which isn't even keeping the price down), we need to invade someone to keep the price of energy drinks down! Also Red Bull is still a ripoff, and the No Fear drinks finally realized that no one thought they were worth 50 cents more than everything else and actually lowered their prices to below average.

Bonus Question
Three Years Ago I posed the following hypothetical question:
The Question: What would YOU do if you were sleeping with a russian, but when you woke up they were compeletely gone, like in those movies, only, its THEIR bed??
And got the following responses:
[11:12:36] shid: uhh, go: hmmm
[11:12:48] shid: then try and scavenge some food from the kitchen
[11:12:53] shid: like ramen or something
[11:13:04] shid: or perhaps a danish
[11:45:46] RunModGirlRun: well, first of all, it would be a russian man
[11:46:01] RunModGirlRun: and second, I would check to see if I was tied up
[11:46:17] RunModGirlRun: third, I would wonder how he cut himself free
[11:47:25] RunModGirlRun: and maybe then, I would raid his refrigerator. and take a shower.
[16:14:00] willnotheal: Well, if I woke up in a Russian bed and my mistress had disappeared, then I would ask myself where the hell she went. I would look to my left (where she was sleeping), just to make sure she really was gone and that I wasn't still drunk from the jello shots the night before. Then I would turn to other hot Russian girl on my right and have mad sex with her until the other one showed up. Then I'd have sex with her. And then with both of them. And just to top it off...I'd have sex with them again.1
Well its three years later and its STILL happening to people -- just the other day it happened to Chris Bunch (though it appears likely he only THOUGHT he fell asleep next to a Russian)-- so what would you do?
Entry of the Day: Okay otimus' entry today was actually pretty funny, though apparently he has way way too much time on his hands -- 30 in 30 - The Game
Meanwhile in the Real World
There was an epic battle on the quad on campus today, which in accordance with tradition I completely missed out on. (Now in video!!!) Yeah thats how we roll at Davis.
