bearshortyLewis Black making fun of Glen Beck or “ Glen Beck has Nazi tourette’s ” I think this is my favorite “Back in Black” segment.
Another report from the Daily Show: cage fighting for Jesus .
Legality of fanfic issues are very country specific which many on the internet forget. Very interesting piece.
I saw the trailer for “The Adjustment Bureau” with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. I really should read some Philip K. Dick stories since movies based on his works have interesting concepts. I will definitely check it out on the DVD. I put Philip K. Dick on my Amazon wish list.
I walked to the library in late afternoon for Michael Pollan “In Defense of Food: and Eater’s Manifesto” that finally came for me. I first read his stuff in the writing classes I teach five years ago and in generally his ideas and research appeal to me. His motto is “eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” He really does not like the idea of processed food as he doesn’t consider it food or really good for the human body. He also calls to task the switch in conversation from ‘food’ to ‘nutrition’ some of it he traces to various Washington lobbies. He also believes that the food and the idea of food are cultural issues and well as biological, and not just purely related to physical health as the current ideas on eating would have us believe. So I really wanted to actually read his new book for a while and I’m glad I get to now.
Bones S5E21. Pretty suspenseful episode about the gravedigger trial. Bones was very emotional. I’m glad that the show sometimes remembers that these people suffered real trauma. Waiting for the verdict was actually nerve wracking even as I knew that the show would not go for ‘not guilty’ and would convict. Good emotions that left Bones in the perfect place to contemplate the career decision next week. (I will just have to wait until I get back from my vacation before I can see the finale, which sucks a bit. At least “House” ends on Monday.) Excellent episode. And Bones’ reaction to Max wanting to kill for her, ‘can’t you be a normal father and buy me a sweater’ or words to that effect.
Very creative combination of pop music with violins.
