The Man with Two Brains

This might be one of the funniest and most ridiculous films I have ever seen. Plus, Steve Martin's style in it is simply impeccable. His skinny ties, pastel suits, plaid shirts, and metal aviators make me swoon. If he started playing the banjo I might have hyperventilated. Why we're not married already I'll never know.

My new hero.


Finally got around to watching Food, Inc. Wow. One of the most disturbing and powerful documentaries I've ever seen. I might have sobbed like a baby. It was really embarrassing. But it actually made me get out of my seat and do research. Like, I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. It was insane. I haven't felt this passion since the 2004 election, sadly. And who did this? Joel Salatin. The Virginia farmer who is living the life I want. Not only is he brilliant and witty and strong and passionate...he's a freakin' amazing farmer who lets his pigs play in the mood. Delight in their "pigness." In fact, the passion carried over into the next day. I learned about this farm and other's apprenticeships. And I made a phone call. A PHONE CALL. Do you know how hard it is for me to make a phone call these days? I only email because I'm so afraid of confrontation and looking stupid and asking questions. Especially when I really care about it. But I did. And that's all I'm going to say for now.
