More Randoms...
Pepsi Fire is one of the oddest drinks I have sampled in quite some time. As a "cinnamon flavored cola," I suppose it's not really surprising - it has a taste far closer to liquid Red Hots than any a simpler cinnamon-sugar flavor. There's a little burn to the aftertaste. I can also see, in the initial flavor, how someone described it as being "vodka flavored." Not what I would call particularly desirable, but I told myself I'd try it and I did.
I finished the "original" story quests to Secret World Legends and have pressed past some things that were old post-release content in TSW and into the recently released (for SWL, at least) return to Tokyo. There have been a few quests in that bunch that ramped things up a notch, in a good way. Driving an armed snow mobile was a little clunky, but fun. The additional cut scenes help with the storytelling. Of course, the story being told is still kind of hazy, but the experience there shows improvement over what came before.
Seeing the eclipse today was kind of neat, though being in the 80%-ish zone means there isn't much difference unless you're looking for it. With proper viewing equipment, the sun was a nice little crescent. You could see that in some shadows (easily with a proper pinhole, but even in the light cast through leaves. And the the sky, while not exactly "dim," seemed just a little bit less bright than usual, as though there should be a haze that there wasn't. If I didn't know, though, I probably could have gone through the entire day without ever realizing. Of course, there are places the changes were more dramatic.
