In case you’re like me and that weird “tropicool… icy icy” song from the Just Jeans commercial has been stuck in your head, relief is at hand. I just tracked it down. It’s actually called “Tropical Iceland” and it’s by some band called the Fiery Furnaces. Now I can sleep at night.

Pop vs. Soda – a color-coded map of the United States. I feel sorry for my sister, having left the cozy “pop” confines of Indiana for the crazy “soda” land of California. Unfortunately I myself have lost the “pop” habit a bit (since nobody in the UK or Australia understands it). I still say “pop…
