So my fellow-blogging friend Jenny said "Hey, you should do a preview of all the stuff that’s coming soon in your blog." Well, Jenny, here is your long-distance dedication.

New Categories: I’m turning my critical eye to a whole new area of focus: Things you can’t eat or listen to. For now, I’m calling this category "Non-Perishables"- I’m certainly open to anything catchier. The next post you read on this blog will be in that category, hope you like it.

I’m also creating a Stuff About This Blog category, and you’re reading the first post I will classify under this- I may go back and associate past posts. And maybe we’ll go to Bed, Bath and Beyond- I don’t know if we’ll have time.

Jackass Soda: I currently have 11 sodas tasted but not yet written about. Three of them involve some level of cherry flavor, so perhaps I’ll combine those. Other fruit flavors abound, one tasted like flat ginger ale served in an ashtray and one is surely the hippy cousin of Root Beer. Were that not enough, there’s a bunch of new sodas coming out, and I’m always on the lookout for new and crazy flavors to try…

52 Foods: I’m still behind- I have four more foods tasted- form candy to popcorn- and four more in the house waiting to be tasted (two from The Philippines). There will be more new foods tasted.

Other Food Topics: McDonald’s World Headquarters is a short drive from the VasilCastle, and they’re about to open a McCafe there. The family is poised and ready to go when it opens. We might be talking multi-part post here…

Also: Burger King has the Ultimate Double Whopper for a limited period of time. It’s the sandwich the Enormous Omlette Sandwich has been stretching out your stomach for. You know I’m going to try one and I’ll tell you all about it.

Books: My quest to read 50 books in ’05- or anything close to that number- has been abandoned. I am considering reviewing books I haven’t read (perhaps judging them simply by their cover) or even reviewing imaginary books.

CD Reviews: I’ve been trying to write more of these, but to no avail. I think the solution may be to write very short reviews and group them in a single blog entry, with album covers and a rating for each. That way you get a quick glimpse of what I’m digging and what I’m not. Sort of a periodical update of where this year’s Timmy Awards may go.

So those are the highlights- there will be more fun and surprises. Thanks for reading, keep on coming back!
