Apples and Leef-peeping

One of the benefits of living in New England is the fact that fall=apple picking! and Apple cider! and cider donuts! and all of the leaves are changing colors now! Here is my ragtag group of smarty pants people picking apples at Shelbourne Farm before it got mobbed with stroller families.
Yes, I know this same stuff happens in other parts of the country, but nyah nyah, the scenery is wayyy better here!

Sucked in By Facebook!

I surrender!!! After the third facebook invitation, I have finally caved in and now any chance of ever maintaining a MySpace Account is forever lost, now that I have found Facebook... It's so much cuter and easier to read, and so far, people I'm pretty good friends with are "connecting" with me, no weird random strangers, yet! So now I'm addicted. Bad me. hehe.

King Corn!

So, I've been trying to find enough time to finish this really eye-opening book by Michael Pollan, called, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and this book runs through the different food systems that the author experienced: Industrial corn, Industrial organic, Pastoral grass, and foraging/hunter gatherer. Lucky for me, while this book was getting popular, there was a movie trying to get released called "King Corn," that traces some of the stories in this book! Read it, or watch it! The two guys making the movie are decently charismatic and cute, but make sure you're fully awake when ya watch it. Go find out how much corn you have in your body in this King Corn Movie

Design Life Now Cooper Hewitt Triennale at the ICA

Time to visit Boston, y'all! An exhibit from the Coooper Hewitt museum, Design Life Now, has finally come to the ICA. Yippee! A DESIGN exhibit. There is a huge variety of displays here, from toys to robots to fashion to architecture, and the presentation is very different from the NYC exhibit- I really like it, and love explaining design stories to my fellow tour guides! So you have until January 6th to visit me in Boston, ok? Go ask Conchens for a tour of this Design exhibit at the ICA
