On Cheer Up, You're Going To Die
@ejcsanfran Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath

On Chefs Are The New Rock Stars And I'm Already Sort Of Wishing They Weren't
Ugh, no. I'm going to this this weekend because food = yum and I was given my pass, but for the love of all that is good and holy chefs are not rock stars. Starting a restaurant isn't anti-establishment; it's the epitome of establishment. The whole 'let's butcher a pig' thing and eat the parts that our ancestors were probably really, really happy to never taste again has become a cliche that it's going to turn up at the low-end "fancy" dining establishments that these chefs, and their foodie acolytes, disdain. And then what will happen? They'll probably all swing back toward canned and superery dupery processed things...
Food is a great thing to celebrate. It's really fun to cook and it's delicious and a reason to gather people around together to talk and be in a moment with one another. But it's funny to me that as a society we can condemn those people who overeat as long as it is at McDonald's or processed food, but the celebration of gluttony that is considered tasteful because its beef from grass fed cows who grew up in the shadow of a mountain and raised by seventh generation monks or foie-gras donuts is fine.
