This Place Is a Stranger

An example of the jello wobble on the Pentax K-x. With quick pans and fast action, strobe lights are added to the Obvious Wobble list.

Most days I just let the fruit rot on the vine, or sit inside while my father waters and picks what he wants. But today I picked about twenty pounds of tomatoes, peppers, and one squash from Molly's plant.

The Road is an amateurly crafted movie that doesn't really capture anything about the book that I felt strongly about. As is typical, the child actor playing the Boy was annoying and mostly boring. It was otherwise well performed, but that doesn't make up for the voiceover which fell completely flat out of its original context in the book. The very few changes that were made from the story were to no greater effect. An extraordinary book, a lifeless movie.

Brains, while delicious, are comically high in cholesterol.

Burger Up, as you would expect, serves seafood, salads, and fried mushrooms. The Dog (pictured) surprisingly packs its menu with hot dogs and sausages.

And now the point of convergence: Hamburgers.

Burger Up is an "upscale" hamburger place that is really worried that you won't recognize and appreciate how local and organic everything is. They are so worried about selling people on the idea of everything being fancy that they forgot to learn how to make a hamburger. The truffle fries and fried mushrooms were excellent. The burger was a dense, dry, overcooked, flavorless disc.

The Dog is just the opposite. They make their namesake menu item great, and just do a mediocre job on everything else. The burger was overcooked, dense, and dry, but it was no worse than the joint at Burger Up, which cost twice as much.

The Nolan brothers played Modern Warfare 2 for five straight days, then passed out. Eighteen hours later, they woke up and said simultaneously: "I just had the weirdest dream." and "I just had an idea for a movie."

The first tomato to ripen was a blondkopfchen, which I thought was a spitze in transition. It fell off into my hand, and was delicious, though the skin was a little prominent.



The other tomatoes I can identify are the green zebras, which are gorgeous. Unless they suddenly turn purple, and then they will be one of the two black russian tomatoes that I can't distinguish. More stuff after the thing.
