9/4/02 - Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger Iced Tea

I remember talking to someone (Billy Merritt, maybe) about how they used to have Celestial Seasonings iced tea in bottles...and how they, seemingly, disappeared...and, I supppose, either they...never went away, just came back to market, or this is a really, really old bottle. (It's not an old bottle, from what I can gather.)

Andy Rocco is a big boy now! Indeed...Baku and the whole gang are back...in GirlCrush 2040 at UCB (fridays at midnight.)

"Moving at the speed of beverages"...is not a slogan for anything.

9/5/02 - Mistic sparkling Mango Passion

My sister is in town with her fiancé...we're going to catch a U.S. Open tennis match tonight (Crystal and Mike are coming along.) Should be interesting. (Sampras vs. Roddick quarterfinals match.) I suspect the crowd won't be doing the wave nor will there be organ music.

We're not kids anymore...but we can still enjoy bevs.

9/6/02 - Dr. Pepper Red Fusion

The bin should say "WE don't RECYCLE so much anymore."

It has come down to that, hasn't it, Dunford...

This Red Fusion ain't-a-so-bad!

Pix from US Open. The match was a 'bust'. Roddick played poorly and Sampras won easily in straight sets...and Lipton iced tea was $4! Still...a cool atmosphere. Plus, easy access to Korean food in Flushing.

Amusing 'protesters' asking for a return to wooden rackets. http://www.bringbackwood.com/

9/7/02 - San Pellegrino Aranciata Sparkling Orange Beverage

Dr. Awesome had a 5 hour workshop with Ian Roberts today. I had Ian for my very first level 1 class with the UCB (way back when)...and subsequently had a couple more classes with him over the time since I started. He is definitely one of the best improv teachers there is (for my money.) If you ever get a chance, take a class or workshop with him.

Tonight, we have a show at Surf Reality (at midnight.) Hopefully we learned something in that workshop!

9/8/02 - Olde Brooklyn Park Slope Ginger Ale

A bev "on the rocks", literally.

The first (I think) beverage journal IMs on the weekend.

-Terry

9/9/02 - Libby's Kern's ALL NECTAR Strawberry Kiwi

"Made with whole fruit and juice"

Tonight, going with "big" Dave Berman (of "My Kickass Van" fame) to see guitar legend Les Paul play at the Iridium. Dave has gotten back into playing guitar, and is on a big guitar kick these days. (He bought an electric recently. A Les Paul Studio model guitar, no less.) Tonight should be fun...Les Paul (from recordings I've heard) is a phenomenal player.

Flippity Flips, Secunda...the bev was not water. Keep hoping for water, though...maybe someday. (Hope floats? Hopeful oats?)

Shannon's bev dreams are crushed by THE MAN! (THE MAN! being some store owner I guess.)

I have been challenged by Eason! (The Browns lost yesterday...and that...is...upsetting.)

Rob Webber sends info about a site that documents all the fake Dr. Pepper bevs that have been, or are now, available.

9/10/02 - Fuze Vitamin Tea Iced Tea with Lemon

My bev of the day arrives via motor freight, right on time!

I'd take the Pocky...but leave the milky bev.

Please inform us of any new developments, Newslady. In the meantime, I will be doing what I do...which is drinking.

I am also having a glass of water, if that makes you feel better, Dunford!

For your viewing pleasure...The Les Paul Trio (+1). Frank Vignola did get to "shred" on his Benedetto guitar for one song. Pretty cool.

9/11/02 - Orange Juice

UncleSally: memorial beverage?
TerrySeal: OJ
UncleSally: are you at work?
TerrySeal: yeah
TerrySeal: we're having a little breakfast
UncleSally: thats good, if your near a tv, it is tuff
TerrySeal: we're just talking about our building (as I was down there this past weekend for the first time since last year)
UncleSally: your old building was right near it? did it get damaged?
TerrySeal: yeah...completely gutted by fire...our office was destroyed
UncleSally: wow
UncleSally: how long before had you moved?
TerrySeal: yeah...we lost everything, but a couple days after, we convened in an apt. and we went office hunting...and I bought tons of new Macs with insurance money.
UncleSally: OH, you were down there when it happened??
UncleSally: I didn't know that!
TerrySeal: I hadn't made it in...I was lazy!
UncleSally: holly crap. Nobody was hurt were they?
TerrySeal: nah...but they saw stuff that...people don't want to see
TerrySeal: (people did die in my building though)
UncleSally: wow.
TerrySeal: http://home.earthlink.net/~tjinn/nycpix/
TerrySeal: http://home.earthlink.net/~tjinn/nycpix/page2.html
TerrySeal: http://home.earthlink.net/~tjinn/nycpix/page3.html
UncleSally: did you do all teh computer networking at the new space yourself?
TerrySeal: thankfully, the new office had a company that folded and was moving out...they left a whole bunch of stuff, including a working computer network (hubs, jacks, wiring) although the network closet is (and still is) a mess. It's so poorly put together, if I tried to clean it up, I'm afraid it will stop working!
UncleSally: Ha!
TerrySeal: when we first were moving...I was hoping to get a new clean space (we were looking in DUMBO for a bit), so I could start from scratch. Problem is, that would have taken more time, which we didn't have.
UncleSally: yeah, how long after 9/11 were you in the new space?
TerrySeal: if I remember correctly, only a few weeks later
TerrySeal: we lost everything, but...the company is still here...
TerrySeal: on that side of things...it was an interesting challenge to rebuild everything
UncleSally: Yeah, a year later is the company doing better? worse?
TerrySeal: things are going pretty well considering the economy

9/11/02 - Addendum

Had a nice lunch...everyone in the company went out together to La Pizza Fresca. (It was only 20+ people, so it wasn't that crazy.) Pellegrino was the bev of the table.

9/12/02 - Dr. Brown's Black Cherry

Good to the last drop, this Dr. Brown's soda is.

Speaking of Drs., Dr. Awesome has a show tonight a Blu Lounge in Williamsburg (Brooklyn.) I think the extra shows we've booked this month will do us some good.

Man cannot live on IMs alone. (Faeries can live a long time on a diet consisting mostly of IMs, however.)

I did freak him out a little. It has since been clarified.

Had 9/11 not happened, I would not have had a company lunch, and you would not have seen a lunch away message, Ross White. Believe me, I would have rather not had a lunch away message.

Do you say Soda...or Pop?

http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~almccon/pop_soda/

KGBKGB: That's how civil wars start
TerrySeal: I did call it Pop when in Ohio...but now call it soda (since going to college/living in NYC)
TerrySeal: (I'm a damn traitor)
KGBKGB: My parents called it soda, so I did too, even though it almost got me beat up in Colorado.
TerrySeal: ha
TerrySeal: is that 'pop' country?
KGBKGB: Yeah. Serious "pop" country. I haven't figured out what LA is. Everyone just drinks water.
TerrySeal: when I was at home for Christmas...I did realize most, that I was in Ohio..when I saw a gas station with signs that said "Cigarettes, Snacks, Pop"...
KGBKGB: That would do it. Don't you also have a "Shazam!" machine? or is that Iowa.
TerrySeal: for a beverage journalist...LA sounds a bit boring!
TerrySeal: Shazam machine?!? (must be Iowa)
KGBKGB: Is that what you're calling yourself now? A beverage journalist?
TerrySeal: It should be noted that it does not imply that I am like a true journalist...merely that I am working on a beverage journal...
KGBKGB: I guess legally, that is your title.
TerrySeal: you are bothered by it, aren't you
KGBKGB: Yes. I knew a kid in college who got a summer internship with Beverage World, where REAL Beverage Journalists get paid to work.
KGBKGB: get PAID to work.
TerrySeal: sheesh
KGBKGB: I'm sorry. It's just that I majored in journalism.
TerrySeal: I apologize...in fact, I've never called myself a "beverage journalist" before...(maybe once)
TerrySeal: http://www.shazam.net/about.htm/
KGBKGB: Well you picked the day to start. I mean the wrong person to start with....or something like that but better written.
TerrySeal: shazam is mainly in Iowa!
KGBKGB: There was also a green beverage in Iowa with a silly name like Shazam. I bought it because it made me laugh. Any idea what it was, BEVERAGE JOURNALIST?
TerrySeal: You are upset...angered...
KGBKGB: Sorry. I'm just hostile and testy.
TerrySeal: those are good descriptive words, yes...
KGBKGB: I'm not quite sure what testy means.
TerrySeal: Irritated, impatient, or exasperated; peevish:
TerrySeal: my abuse of the word 'journalist' is irritating
KGBKGB: Yes. I'm using a computer right now. Does that make me a computer expert? (Bad analogy, but I'm not an analogist.)
TerrySeal: that is a terrible analogy!

9/13/02 - Prologue to today's entry

I just noticed that there are, in fact, two IRCs going...one at the normal web address and one at the (I guess it was an old) IP address (66.250.47.168). I already posted my entries for today over at the IP address version of the site because for a long time I couldn't access the IRC at work using the web address. I guess Mullaney must have moved the IRC again...or something.

Anyway...an IM with Jake that occurred a couple of days ago (but I had forgotten to post.)

9/13/02 - Naked Food-Juice Lemons Juiced

-Terry

 

[TerryJ]

9/14/02 - Bottle Green Drinks Fruit Sodas Lemon Lime

Bought this bev at the local health food market (Perelandra). They have a large selection of unique beverages that will, no doubt, find their way into the journal.

Eleanor urged me to try this Ugli fruit...which is a jamaican tangelo. She knows I love citrus flavors (which, if you read this journal, you probably know, too.)

9/15/02 - Tommy's Naked Soda Optimal Orange

9/16/02 - Ginseng UP Grape

A happy birthday to the UCB/SNL's Amy Poehler today.

I'm not a very good Jew, I'm afraid, Ludwig. (Doesn't sound like you are either, though!)

With my mind on my bevvies and my bevvies on my mind.

9/17/02 - Blueberry Lemonade [at Gotham Bar and Grill]

A nice prix fixe lunch at the fancy Gotham with Anne. The picture quality isn't so hot, as I'm using the Logitech Pocket Digital. (The camera is nice and small, though.)

You are very "evile"! Bonnie Hunt is far from "evile", though.

I hope the picture proves it. Bonnie Hunt's newest sitcom, "Life with Bonnie" premieres tonight at 8pm on ABC!

I am ready for a life with Bonnie!

It's really quite simple.

You were right. (But you could have been wrong. That possibility did exist. But it was remote.)

Umm...

I woke up this morning...had me a breakfast bev... take it Dyna.

I'm sorry. I have a life...with Bonnie.

-Terry

 

[TerryJ]

9/18/02 - Itoen Gotta Juice Green Green

A juice bev from Japan. Apple plus a bunch of vegetable juices. Mostly tastes like apple, thankfully.

Question is...why are you checking on me?

I can't tell what your facial expressions are trying to convey, Rhodes!

-Terry

 

[TerryJ]

9/19/02 - Welch's White Grape Peach

Getting some weird IMs from strangers today. "Excuse me, but I'm due back on the planet earth!"

At least Trout the cat is finally at rest...far from the constant abuse that Amy Rhodes would inflict on him. You did him a favor, Rhodes, sending him to the cat afterlife. Nevertheless, I swear, on his feline lukemia and his clumping kitty litter, to avenge his death (and the abduction of Baku!)
