"we've all worn confederate flags to school before"


This girl tried to wear a confederate flag dress to prom, and it isn't even pretty. I could understand her situation maybe a little better if the dress was really lovely and expensive and made her look like a wonderful princess, but (and I'm sorry, Jacqueline) it looks awful. PLUS it's a confederate flag, which is an automatic fail. Anyway here's the article: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42046

muxtape madness!


Have you guys seen this muxtape.com business? It's great! If you're doing work and want something good to listen to that you won't have to think too hard about, this is way better than last.fm or imeem or whatever else the kids have right now. I could never figure out how to enjoy that biz but now i don't have to. Here's a "mux" i'm really "digging" right now: http://fastidio.muxtape.com/

and there are tons more, easily navigable through the pretty site design. and you can add your own! I'll be "muxing" as lemonchar (idk why but i used to have lemonadecharade on AIM) so check back sometime and maybe i'll have something up!

She's Gone


I've never ordered anything from tv - but I've come close. The Time Life Classic Soft Rock Collection. Everything about this infomercial is brilliant. It's 30 mins of great tv. It goes without saying that I love the songs. That being said - I particularly love the footage they are able to bring to these standard classics. Who doesn't love to see Stevie Nicks in the middle of all her Rumours glory?? Or to actually see what Gino Vinelli actually looks like - the master behind the hit I Just Wanna Stop. Or when the chords for Escape (the Pina Colada song) come on and you see a bunch of 70's hair?? I really love it when on my radio at work I hear one of the songs from this collection. The ones I'm really into right now - Chuck E's in Love and Lotta Love. A common misconception is that it's just 70's soft rock. Wrong! It's heavy on the 70's, I'll give it that. BUT we've got 90's soft rock too - Jessie anyone?? Look it up.

Enough about the songs. Let's talk about the presentation. It's all set around this open house. With our hosts above - from Air Supply. Occasionally they break into song - Even the Nights are Better. I prefer when they are sitting in the wicker furniture in the beginning because they've got a pitcher of lemonade on the table in front of them. I used to watch this in the dead of winter, and it still made me want lemonade. It looks delicious. I take points away because the background looks extremely fake. They want me to think they are in a house on the Northern California coast. Well I'm not buying it. But they reel me in when they start to sell the cd's because in front of the cd's they've added soft rocks in front of the product. Genius! A nod to the 70's Pet Rock phenomenon and also a play on words. Every time I watch this it takes me back.

the perfect food!

What makes food good for me is that it is delicious, has high fiber/protein content, is cheapish but not too cheap, lasts a long time, goes with many other foods, and is good for the environment etc. Is there any food that exists with all of these? Apples? No! There's no protein in apples. Pasta? Boring! Bread? Lasts for like 5 days, then gets moldy! Realistically, not much can do all of this. Except.

This!!
Which is all of this:



Yesterday, after not being able to find these lil' treasures for what seemed like years, they popped up in the freezer section at Whole Foods. I think they're like $3.79 there, but in the past, I've found them at Trader Joe's and Target for more like $2.49. But just between you and me, I'd still buy them if they were $100.49. Because they are so super-good.

Last night, we cooked some with green beans and mashed potatoes and it was, even with a nice beer, cheap (about $7, split 2 ways) and pretty quick. Not to mention fun!

While I'm thinking about it, here are some of my other favorite meat substitutes:

-Whole Foods mock chicken salad (regular and barbeque)
-Whole Foods vegan crabcakes (which are, I just found out, made from mock chicken salad)
-Quorn Gruyère Cutlets
-Morningstar Sausage Patties

Of course, you can't compare these to real meat--except for their main-dish status in a meal--or you'll always be grossed-out and/or disappointed. Or not. For me, the texture of all of these is better than that of real meat, because i don't have any guilt or weird feelings about biting into muscle fiber and other tissue. But in any case, even if you're a daily meat-eater, these riblets are as close to perfect as any food i've ever encountered.
