Well part of it, also had some Korean-style sashimi too.

De-evolution
I’m fairly certain we are devolving (de-evolving? See it’s already happening to me!) as a society. That thing a few weeks/months back I posted about the human race splitting has to be true. As I’m pretty sure I mentioned in that post, the movie Idiocracy (a failed attempt on a good idea) seems prescient.
Anyways, the latest clue that we are just setting up our own doom, I give you the Double Deep Meat Lover’s pizza from Pizza Hut. A single slice will log you 580 calories! But hey, maybe someone can just eat three slices a day and lose some weight (though not as much as you might thing, and definitely they won’t be healthy) since they’d only be consuming 1740 calories a day. Of course, 90% of Americans (I just made that stat up) would probably put down 3 slices a sitting so…
90% black, but still
90% of my coffee consumption is straight black. Every now and then I’ll get a coffee beverage. But I still want this:

This is cute
I don’t eat cupcakes that often. And rarely do I need to transport them, but this is neat.

Profile of Momofuku’s David Chang.
I am more interested in Ssam Bar than the other Momofukus. I tried to last time I was in NYC, but ran out of time. David Chang seems like an interesting guy. I can relate to some of what he says in the interview.
Girl Scout cookies
Here’s the Girl Scout cookies in order of healthiest to least.
Cafe Cookies (five er serving) contain little saturated fat.
Trefolis have 150 calories per serving (five cookies).
Little Brownies (four per serving) are sugar-free.
Thin Mints (four per serving) have the same amount of sugar and fat as two-cookie serving of Samoas.
Do-Si-Dos (two per serving) are low in saturated fat.
Tagalongs (two per serving) are high in fat, but it’s mostly the good, unsaturated kind.
All Abouts (two per serving) are also low in saturated fat.
Thanks-A-Lot (two per serving) have the same number of calories as twice as many Thin Mints.
Lemonades (two per serving) have four grams of saturated fat.
Samoas (two per serving) have high amounts of fat and sugar.
Via Real Simple via That’s Fit.
Thin Mints and Tagalogs are my cookies of choice. Not too bad on this scale. I can do the Samoas to a degree, but not too much. Not because they are apparently unhealthy, but more because I’m not a coconut guy.
In case you forgot what’s what in the world of Girl Scout cookies, here’s a handy dandy guide.
Didn’t make the list
Men’s Health 20 Worst Foods In America.
This isn’t on the list since it’s homemade, but this would have to be tops on the list right?
But it all tastes so good. Yes makes you nauseated after you eat it, but still….
I take offense
High-Def Digest’s review of Oldboy
It’s a great flick. It’s challenging on any number of levels. It’s visually impactful. I’m not bothering to post my issues with the review at HDD’s site because they are all video/audiophiles and my issues aren’t with that.
In his review, Kenneth S. Brown writes:
Even “ordinary” scenes contain bizarre and often disturbing imagery, including swarming ants, gouged eyes, stark nudity, a nightmarish hotel room, incest, and the actual consumption of a living octopus.
I agree with almost EVERYTHING in that statement, but one part I don’t. Consumption of live octopus isn’t anything strange in Korea. Hell I’ve had it here in the States. Okay, hey, I get it. This is the United States. What is normal to a lot of other places is weird and strange, and I guess disturbing, here. And the scene in question was played for visual impact. But visually impactful doesn’t mean disturbing. And even in the context of the movie, I’d not classify that particular scene as disturbing. I do admit that how the scene plays out in the movie isn’t the traditional method of eating live octopus. So maybe that’s the disturbing part.
It’s so tasty though!
