DAY TRIP

On Sunday, after stopping at Peet’s for Latte Macchiatos and Corner Bakery for sandwiches, soup, and salad, we drove North. Through Angeles Forest along the Big Tujunga Cyn Rd which becomes Angeles Forest Hwy.

Definition of Opulence?

Bottled Water.

Evangelicals Shedding the Artistic Cocoon

This article from MSNBC summarizes what many of us are already aware of – but it’s neat to see it in print on a national news website.  Plus the references to our very own Act One and the Brehm Center at Fuller Seminary are neat.  Specifically, the article quotes Craig Detweiler, who was a professor of mine during my time at the LA Film Studies Center, and was our liaison last year when the Brehm Center was one of Tandem Arts’ clients. Gillian & I are also on the City of Angels Film Festival committee with him this year. It’s a small world.

IS THIS THE DEFINITION OF IRONY?

I hope not.

Lindsey Lohan got dumped because she’s sober?

But seriously folks…

WATER WATER EVERYWHERE…

…NOR ANY DROP TO DRINK!

Recently, Ryan and I did some research about water filters. You might have seen our post about LIFE and how I tested the cleanliness of our water.

Well, we bought a filter and we are so pleased with it! I was telling a friend about it recently and she said that I should do infomercials!

Well… here is my infomercial… also known as:

DISNEY KICKS THE HABIT?

No, it’s not a nun joke.

It’s either a really cool thing or a strange form of censorship.

What does it mean?

MASS MURD… I MEAN, EMAIL

I got this fwd in my inbox the other day from my friend in Texas.  It makes perfect sense that a Texan would forward this email en masse.  And the facts, assuming they are true, are truly outrageous and urge me, against all sense, to go and buy myself a gun.  That’s what makes the least sense of all.  In fact, I just can’t make sense of it…

Here it is:

• In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

DAR-FOREST, DAR-TREES

A lot of people tell us details about the atrocities in Africa. They focus on this girl who has lost her parents or that boy with the injuries and burns. 400,000 people have died. While these individuals are important, valuable, and worth helping (just like the turtle on the beach), sometimes it’s important to see the whole picture. This article by our friend Joe Cinocca sheds light on the web of reality that is directly affecting the situation in Darfur.

More info about the Darfur Conflict (aka genocide).

How do you flag something on Craigslist as [the boss is a sociopath]?

KWIK-E-MART

Tonight a group of us spontaneously decided to travel to Springfield, USA and get a market-y pink donut from Apu at Kwik-E-Mart. Tyler, Heidi, Trish, Ryan, and I piled into Trish’s Matrix and spiraled thru the rabbit hole from Burbank, California in search of squishee blue truth…

In this store, one of only 12 Kwik-E-Marts across North America, they had “actors” playing Apu-like characters.  Tyler said the squishee tasted like cream soda.

COULD THIS BE FOR REAL?

9:41 PM OR AM?

Dave Barry posted this on his blog today. The last page tells the story of how some TechRepublic dudes were very worried that they’d voided the warranty on an $800 dollar toy! Or at the very lease, ruined their reputation.
