That Pepsi girl is annoying as hell and now that Regal owns the world, we have to suffer through her "cuteness" before every damn movie. So help me tell Regal that we're sick of the Pepsi girl! You also can call them at 1-877-TELL-REGAL.

They only give you 255 characters for your comments online, so here are some ideas about what you might wanna say (courtesy of my friends):

Yesterday I went to BookPeople to get my copy of The Future of Success signed by Robert Reich, a former Secretary of Labor under Clinton. I wasn't looking forward to driving downtown in the heart of rush-hour traffic, but I'm glad I went. (Speaking of Traffic, you must see it.)

When the Secretary was signing my copy, I said "I loved that endorsement you wrote of Bill Bradley." He hadn't really been paying much attention to everyone's comments, but when he heard "Bradley" his face lit up and he looked at me. "As a matter of fact, I talked to him today." Gasp. He talked to Bill Bradley today. So I said "I hope he's running in 2004." And the Secretary responded "Actually, that's what I was trying to urge him to do. But he says it was just very painful when he lost. I'm going to have a meeting with him in a week or so." To which I replied "Oh, you have to urge him to run again!"

So now I have this fantasy that when the Secretary meets with Bradley, he'll mention something about a young woman in Austin at his book signing who was asking about whether he'll run in 2004. And that'll be the clincher that makes Bradley decide he has to try again. (Not likely, I know, but I can dream!)
