| Forks Over Knives |

I urge everyone to see the documentary Forks Over Knives. I watch a lot of stuff about diet and this is one of the best I've seen.
The evidence for the benefits of a whole food, plant based diet is overwhelming. You could save your life. Do it for yourself. Do it for the people who love you. |

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the point here is that people are fighting for Jenna's right to partake in this great symbol of patriarchal oppression and it's somehow being sold as a progressive stance? "Look, now transsexuals can be made into toys just like Real Girls! Yay!!!"
Forgive me if this battle for the equal right to be turned into a mannequin isn't high on my priority list. |

So I'm used to hearing The Maple Leaf Rag played like this:
But then I came across a video that says it's Joplin playing it (from a piano roll, of course, and I doubt that it is), and I've got to tell you, I kind of like it better?
Both of them make me question the wisdom of using my free time for anything other than practicing ragtime on the piano. |

There's a commercial running now that uses the song "Mister Sandman," a song I've always liked a lot, so when this popped up as a suggestion on youtube, I clicked on it.
O_o How's he do that???

We all think that Firefox is a crap browser, right? I mean, do people actually use that hunk o' junk? What's with the needlessly complicated bookmarking (that always seems to default to wherever I really, really do NOT want something to go)? For that alone, Firefox, you are garbage.
But then, when I google firefox bookmark, I get a tutorial from mozilla that, of course, looks nothing at all like what I see on the screen when I bookmark something.
I've concluded that it's only for stupid hipsters who don't know any better but use it because that's what their idiot friends use.
Die, Firefox, die! |

| Hungry for Change |
[Mar. 24th, 2012|05:34 pm] |
If anyone is interested, there's a new documentary out called Hungry for Change, which focuses on weight loss but is mostly about just eating right and living right. It's probably nothing people don't already know (stay away from foods made from chemicals in factories, eat lots and lots of vegetables), but sometimes it's good to have a little outside motivation kickstart you. There's a bit of an anti-carb bias and I think the makers are largely pro-raw food, but it's not something heavily pushed. There's also some really good stuff in there about attitude, too, because the filmmakers understand that losing weight isn't just about the body, it's about getting healthy and that includes mental and emotional health, too.
Love to all of you. |
