Que tarde
it turned out to be a perfect, effete, bourgeoise afternoon here in the Southern/Midwest 'Ville. In liue of watching grain-fed macho American football, I've spent my time switching between the USA/Brazil friendly and the U.S.Open final featuring Federer and Djokovic. Very un-American don't you think? The U.S. didn't play too badly. It would've been interesting to see the match with a real ref, b/c the one today let them wrestle, in effect. As for Federer, he's playing like garbage but staying in it. A true campeon, and probably the greatest.
And another un-American observation was the pathetic McDonald's commercial I saw this afternoon. These two bozos try to one-up each other with how cheap their purchases are (you can imagine where this is going). Then a thin, pretty mid-20s young woman chimes in how she got her double cheeseburger for only $1.00. That's the savior of modern American society!! That $1.00 gives you 440 calories and 23 grams of fat, with the fat content being 35% of your daily allowance. You would have to eat more than 2 bunches of broccoli- or 15 cups- to achieve the same calories. Now that I have a seeming long-term imperative in front of me I may be thinking more in these terms. I remember back in 1999 when I lost 40lbs and felt great that I could taste the lard in an Oreo, making them a most disgusting venture to ingest. Hopefully I can get that discerning again.
