Relic of the 1980's

Got 1980's Star Wars glasses? How about ones promoting The Muppet Movie, courtesy of (evil) Burger King and McDonald's?

If they showed everybody, you'd have to die

A few years ago SPIN magazine named Coldplay as Band of the Year, but only Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on the cover. Ajumma emailed the editor complaining about this fact. The editor retorted that members of Coldplay obviously want Chris Martin to be their "face," since he's the main focus of their videos and does all their interviews, etc. I think this is B.S. and was reminded of it recently while watching a video for The All-American Rejects. Take a look at the other members of these bands, folks. They may not have as pretty eyes as their frontmen, but they're equally as important even if SPIN doesn't think so.

Ferret factoids

Did you know that male ferrets are called "hobs?" Female ferrets are "jills," and a group of ferrets are called "a business." Don't get all up in their business! This is the exciting stuff I learned after sitting in the same vet office three times in a week.

You are what you eat

If you see only one movie in 2009, it should be Food Inc. Food Inc. lifts the veil on the agriculture and meat industries in the United States, and shows viewers how a few corporations now control them. I know Food Inc. will change lives with its simple message of self-empowerment.

You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie

Here I am with all the pleasures of the first world

Laid out before me who am I to breakdown?

Everyday I wake up, I choose love
I choose light

And I try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Oh my baby don't be so distressed

We're done with politesse

It's time to be so brutally honest about

The way we know we long for something fine

When we pine for higher ceilings

And bourgeois happy feelings

And here we are in the center of the first world

Laid out before us, who are we to break down?

Everyday we wake up

We choose love

We choose light

And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

Plastic bottles

Imported water

Cars we drive wherever we want to

Clothes we buy it's sweatshop labor

Drugs from corporate enablers

We're not living the good life'

Cause we're fighting the good fight

You and me just trying to get it right

Love can free us from all excess

From our deepest debts

Cause when our hearts are full we need much less

Yea I know we long for something fine

When we pine for higher ceilings

And bourgeois happy feelings

Everyday we wake up

We choose love

We choose light

And we try, it's too easy just to fall apart

It's Friday!

This is the cupcake I'm recreating in Photoshop class. Mmmm!
