Coffee with Sam & Not sure about this book…

borders_sam.jpg

This afternoon after a busy day, having a few meetings today. Interview went well, after all this had a coffee with Sam. We were at Gloria Jeans in borders had my normal white choclate mocha, oh so very nice.

Anyway there was this book on the fun square table, the age for readers was 3-7 looked fun enough but it worried me that the book had a sponsor John Deere. All the creatures in the book were John Deere tractors, but more it was scary that little punks (3-7 year olds) are getting subject to advertising in a childrens book.

Bad form John Deere!

Fast food nation

Last night went to see Fast Food nation with Adventure Sam

fastfoodnation.jpg
The movie was alright I enjoyed it, parts of it I was thinking of becoming a vegitarian thats for sure. The movie is based on a book by Eric Schlosser (the guy in the photo above at the top, also featured in McLibel & Supersize me) titled Fast Food Nation-The Dark Side of the All-American Meal

I’ve been slowly reading the book, the movie did well at at least touching on many points he makes in the book even if there just one liners. I think they did a really good job at making a book to a film. I do recommend the book though as much as the movie

book_schlosser.jpg

A little blurb from Mcspotlight
This myth-shattering book tells the story of America and the world’s infatuation with fast food, from its origins in 1950s southern California to the global triumph of a handful of burger and fried chicken chains. In a meticulously researched and powerfully argued account, Eric Schlosser visits the labs where scientists re-create the smell and taste of everything - from cooked meat to fresh strawberries; talks to the workers at abattoirs with some of the worst safety records in the world; explains exactly where the meat comes from and just why the fries taste so good; and looks at the way the fast food industry is transforming not only our diet but our landscape, economy, workforce and culture.

The movie is still showing in mainstream & dendy cinemas, the book is avalible where good books are sold.

Stuped America

There are a few things in this world that I understand, but mostly I have no idea about most things. Things like where does coffee come from like is it really from Brazil, how does my car work, how does Hornsby fountain work, no sorry how does Hornsby fountain not work?

Other things like how do mirrors, mirror? How do they make paper so thin from a tree? Anyway that’s a long introduction to I don’t understand Americans and the topic of me not understand is how they have a ‘world series’ game of baseball but only America plays? Sorry that’s stupid!

Saving water

As a country we have been asked save water by have shorter showers, so the BBC has made a list of shorter songs to sing in the shower:

SHOWER-FRIENDLY TUNES
The Dead Kennedys - I Like Short Songs (22 seconds)
Wire - Three Girl Rhumba (1m 22 seconds)
Pixies - Crackity Jones (1m 22s)
The Whites Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl (1m 50s)
Eddi Cochrane - Summertime Blues (1m 59s)

Hope it helps, as I might stop from singing the song that never ends, might help a little.
