Silly Stewardesses

Flight Attendants say Boycott 'Flightplan'

Why do people get so riled up about movies? I mean cops get portrayed as unscrupulous individuals all the time in movies and you don't see them banding together and boycotting movies. Why? Because they realize that movies aren't real. They aren't journalistic portrayals. Rather than the supposed unflattering portrayal of flight attendants in the movie causing me to distrust them, their silly self-important boycott will do it.

I'm Probably the Biggest Fool

"The truth seems to be that no one likes to see himself described as he is, or cares to see exactly set down what he said and did. Well, even I can understand that - because I don't like it myself when I am the sitter and not the portraitist: the frailty of egos! - and the more accurate the strokes, the greater the resentment."

Crazy Pita People

These guys are on the menu at the Pita Pit.



If I hadn't eaten their food before, I'd be afraid it was laced with something. Hey, maybe it was.... Boise did look pretty good after dinner.

I just realized that had been 3 WEEKS since I've posted anything. I'm such a fool.

Disneyland: A Study in Culture

What? Yes it's true, Disneylands around the world reveal interesting differences in culture. So this article is talking about how the different cultures around the world respond to Disneyland lines in their own countries. I like this part, "French and Italians 'never saw a line they couldn't be in front of.'" That's great. Could you image that here? People would be getting knocked out and yelled at left and right. What do they do, flirt their way to the front? Now I want to go to Eurodisney to see if my Italian roots kick in and I can get myself to the front of the line.

The other thing that I found very interesting is that the French go wild over the Peter Pan ride. It's the only Peter Pan ride out of all the parks that they put this Fastpass thing in where you get to come back at a certain time without having to wait in line. What's up with the French and Peter Pan? It's a pretty boring ride here. I just can't possibly imagine what would make it so intriguing, unless maybe you can bring a bottle of wine along!
