look at what the light did now

questions, and some answers:

how come no one brings me a sandwich?

why does everything smell like rye? oh ya. half a forty of rye will do that.

why is one of my fingers always bleeding?

Is it as nice out as it looks? Yes. Yes it is.

Orangina. You are so good. So good i am shocked. You shock me. I'm shocked.

i did not know that orangina was orange, lemon, and mandarin juices combined for maximum power. Thank you, potentially faulty wikipedia entry. I was not looking for ingredient details originally, i wanted to know what year it was invented so i could caption a picture "curing hangover since___". It's older than i would've given it credit for:
Orangina started life as Naranjina, presented at the 1936 Marseille Trade Fair by its Spanish inventor, chemist Dr. Trigo. Léon Beton bought the concept and produced it in colonial Algeria, moving production to France in 1962 after Algeria won independance.
Way to come from colonial Algeria, Orangina. Like a young Camus. I bet he tried Orangina before lots of people. Talk about existential.

It is painfully apparent i am not making sense.
So in conclusion,


Orangina: Curing hangovers since 1936

i love orange drink.
most orange drinks.
it's the only reason to travel, as most other countries (bear in mind that my research in still in it's infancy (infantcy?))seem to have a superior orange drink selection to ours.
