I went to the store to get some more ibuprofen, and I found myself standing near a magazine rack engrossed in an article. A woman walked over to me, bent over and looked me in the face. She wanted to know if I was in line.
The article I was so caught up in was about Brooke Greenberg, a 16 year old baby.
Trying to find information about her on the internet led me to discover this gem:

Crying about Gentrification while eating Chicken Taco/ Burritos
I like the concept, but I'm not sure about the execution.
Perhaps it is because the reasons and crying seem fake.

Movie Reviews
Went to see Coraline in 3-D. I'd totally recommend it to everyone. No, it is not a Tim Burton film. Yes, it has that feel. Yes, TMBG sing a little song in the middle.
I am watching Wristcutters with the kid from Almost Famous. This is a movie about people who have committed suicide. After they die, they go to a place slightly like earth, except everything sucks a little more and you aren't allowed to smile. There is a character clearly based on Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello, the character is even named Eugene, and he plays a cassette of his band's music, all songs which are by Gogol Bordello.
Watched Enchanted, which was interesting, but the ending had some unrealistic plot elements. Two people who have just been left by their significant others will not so easily move on to be romantically involved with each other. Other than that, it was cute.

Factory Tours
Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour:
WHERE? Waterbury, VT
COST? $3
THIS INCLUDES? 1 1/2" Button
1 scoop IC
30 minutes, most of which involves looking at videos. The only part where you get to see the factory is when they stick you in an observing tower type room in the top center of the tiny factory and sort of point to things.
Cabot Creamery Visitor's Center (Factory Tour)
WHERE? Cabot, VT
COST? $2
THIS INCLUDES? 1 cow print rubber bracelet (the livestrong type)
As much cheese and samples as you can stomach
30 minutes, perhaps 10 or less of which involves looking at videos. This tour walks you along and through the factory, with giant windows and close up views of everything that is happening. The video really defends all of the decisions that they make, such as the choice of incorporating 2 robots into production.
VERDICT? The button and Ice Cream were probably better tchotchkes, but the Ben & Jerry's tour was probably less enjoyable than if I had just watched about it on Unwrapped. The Cabot tour was much better, I didn't love the bracelet, and you didn't need to go on the tour to eat the cheese samples. However, for a dollar less, it was a much more enjoyable half hour. Neither tour guide knew quite as much as I had hoped they would.
