Who puts cinnamon in cherry cobbler?? What a world, what a world. #
Ugh, I'm in the middle of the city and I can't get a good 3G or a good WiFi connection. #

I totally geeked out over the fact that Roger Waters used Battlestar Galactica (new series) music during show intermission. #
Ugh, Starbucks blonde roast is just watered down coffee. Light roast doesn't mean weak, folks. It just means not burnt to a crisp. #
To be precise, Roger Waters played "Caprica City, Before the Fall" from the Season 4 Battlestar Galactica soundtrack. #nerrrrrrrrrrd #
