Of bulls and beans
At the moment I am struggling with the definitive round of editing on my MA thesis, which is quite tedious and painful since I have to make drastic clear-cuts. According to my academic supervisor I have to "sharpen the overall focus" and "eliminate less crucial bits to main points". This demands intensive intellectual efforts. So the brain's craving suga'. Normally I take some dextrose but I decided to give regular sugar a go, since it is more colorful and tasty. I give it gladely in the form of two addictive products I have just discovered (does this qualify me as "sugar daddy"?). First, the Irish made Jelly Beans with multiple flavours. Their main inconvenient is that I need to plunge in the box to select my favourite ones, which is very time consuming. But they're GMO free, so I guees it's healthy -- although I had no clue that candies could be made out of GMO (this Santos company is everywhere, soon we'll be eating "soylent green" wafers!). The other thing is the newly marketed Red Bull simply cola. Now this thing is absolutely delicious. Not only does it cool me down -- since it is a record 33°C in here (check the weather here) -- but it is also made of strictly natural ingredients. We easily forget that coca-cola is made out of coca leafs and cola nuts and not E-plenty something and phosphoric acid that corrode teeth and stomachs. I never liked the energy drinks they made but this, it is simply delicious and natural. (I should get paid for this. Can't academics get sponsored?)
