For Every Problem, a Solution (4)

God as depicted throughout the ages.  No Alanis Morissette, and, no, that isn't ironic.

    The great, and long lasting comedian, <A HREF="http://en.wiikipedia.org/wiki/George_burns>George Burns</href>, who had the distinction of playing God in <I>Oh God</I> and <I>Oh God: Book 2</I>, as well as Satan in <I>You Devil</I>. He was famous not just for being professionally funny for something like 70 years, but also for constantly carrying a cigar and often quaffing Scotch whiskey on stage. Burns lived to be 101, despite making a point of drinking and smoking every day of his adult life.

    Sounds preferable to eating yogurt and salads every day...

    Hey, I like yogurt.

    I like some kinds of yogurt too...occasionally...but suddenly it seems like everyone I know (mostly middle aged women and spinsters) are all eating yogurt and it kind of freaks me out.

    You should let them know Activia doesn't have all the benefits it claims to.

    Still, I'm like Michael Westin with yogurt. --If you didn't know, he's a fictional ex-spy who eats a lot of yogurt, and the star of Burn Notice.-- If you find the right brands, the plain stuff can be pretty tasty, and mixes with all kinds of things--peaches, for example.

    The brand I keep seeing is Oikos, which makes me think of fish, or something...not yogurt...

    Activia sounds like a drug for old people.

    The main kind of yogurt I liked was Trix...but that was a long time ago...the most recent kind I ate was orange cream scicle, brand I don't recall...and it was alright.

    I did not know who Michael Westin is.

    Oikos is okay. What's weird is there's two brands with that name. Dannon's Greek yogurt, and, well, Oikos's Greek yogurt. Greek Gods and Fage are better. The best, though, are the non-homogenized yogurts. They have this nice layer of fatty cream on the top, and often take on interesting, earthy or nutty characteristics. Anyway...

Magical Unrealism

The same men who say global warming is a hoax, Obamacare has been failing for eight years, and abstinence-only sex-ed works are also convinced even basic gun control is an impossible and useless approach which would only make us less safe. These are also the dudes most likely to tell you black and brown folk have it too good, Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya, and Sharia law is being forced on American legal systems. I wonder if there's some sort of overarching thread or theme to all this.

Miike Takashi's Sukiyaki Western Django

I am a big fan of prolific Japanese director, Miike Takashi. His movies are not always good (which would be an accomplishment, considering he averages about three feature length films a year), but he doesn't mind experimenting or playing around. Not everything he tries works, but when it does, it can be pretty damn awesome. His subjects and genres vary wildly from a musical about a family running an inn, to a kid fighting goblins, to some of the best yakuza flicks I've seen. Meanwhile, he tends to get good performances from his actors, even when they are children or non-native Japanese speakers. The only time I've been completely disappointed with one of his pieces was a rejected instalment in Showtime's Masters of Horror , entitled 'Imprint'. The story was stupid, and the acting was bad. This was Miike's first all English production, and it showed. So, when I found out one of his 2007 films, Sukiyaki Western Django was in English, I was a bit put off. How ...

The summer's demi-apocalypse has to wind down at some point.

It's the end of summer, once again. I could not be any more ready for cool weather, rain, and a chance for the forests to recover from the flames. After travelling near fires in Colorado and Oregon's Columbia river gorge, I am back wondering about north Seattle, under a red sun and painterly clouds, not far enough from the source of the drifting smoke. It seems like the world is burning, but that can only last so long.
