Space food

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Here’s the raw avocado soup, a rawfood recipe:

It looks, and probably tastes, like the green gunk they have in science fiction films. Well, it’s not too bad, but I felt quite hungry afterwards.

Update: I realized that I forgot the olive oil …

Cathay Pacific … what the f—?

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

I simply don’t believe this Cathay Pacific advert …

But wait, there’s more. If you go to their website there’s this ridiculous flash “game” where you have to grab “girl cards” out of the air, and then there’s a mini-bio on each one. Meet for instance “Julia Chen”, flight attendant by day, but by night …

It’s like the 1950s and 60s all over again …

It is a maiden tree, which means it will be 1 year old, and won’t fruit for several years.

In the language of flowers, cherry blossom signifies a good education.
