Two to read
While I finish up a few other projects, I would like to take a moment to direct your attention to three perhaps under-appreciated sites worth your time.
First is Wide Lawns, Narrow Minds, the fabulously well-crafted and hysterically funny tales of life in an extremely exclusive and exceptionally expensive country club community in the far north (i.e., not Miami-Dade County). The anonymous Wide Lawns Subservient Worker regales us with tales of debauchery and depravity among the rich and fatuous, leavened with bittersweet stories of her own past. Frankly, if WLSW was writing reviews of McDonald's menu items I would still be a fan — her talent is that strong.
Further afield is Your Humble Viewer. Paul J. Marasa creates an excellent mixture of reminiscence and critique as he posts on movies seen and remembered, commenting both on the film itself and his own interaction with it. While I love Like Anna Karina's Sweater, which provides more in the way of erudite film criticism (and consequently demands more of its audience), Viewer has an engaging conversational charm making it a delightful read for anyone interested in movies.

Over the summer McDonalds, in an attempt to fool people into thinking they were being healthy, introduced a new menu item - an Asian, chicken salad. At the intense urging of my husband, I, who normally scorns all fast food, went through the drive thru near Wide Lawns to pick up this assortment of wilted field greens, msg saturated, pressed chicken ass roll, a few carrot curls and 5 entire soy beans. The soybeans were the best part, but there were, as I just stated, only 5 of them and they were pretentiously called edamame. In addition there were also some rotten strips of julienne red bell pepper. The saddest thing was that I was actually trying to figure out if the pepper was roasted, or cooked in some way and then I realized that the pepper was actually just rotten and that was why it was soft and wet. After a few salty bites and a few stabs at lettuce that tasted like a stagnant pond, I called my husband and asked him if he had lost his mind. WLSW does NOT recommend the McDonalds Asian Chicken Salad.
(just kidding) Thanks for the link and the compliments!
