Snap Crackle Squish

World of Trash

« Finnish jätehuone still-life; bucket, waste drum of some Sodium Dicyanamide (used mainly for the production of chlorhexidine, a versatile bactericide, and agrochemicals), a dead dot matrix printer, torn insulation on heating pipes, a 1970s chair and a bizarre red, gold and black pillow adorned with ancient Egyptian motifs. »

The deep thought for the day came to me in the grocery where I noticed a new kind of cereal: Are Multigrain Rice Krispies© still Rice Krispies©? Shouldn't they be Multigrain Krispies© or something Krispies© instead? What about Rice, Oat and Maize Krispies©? Maybe Pro-Biotic Krispies© for the middle-aged yuppies? When they started with Corn Chex©, they franchised into multiple flavours but never Multigrain Corn Chex©, rather Multigrain Chex©. I am perplexed. I did notice that the same cereal is being marketed in the UK as Rice Krispies© Muddles which come with a pro- and pre-biotic bio-bonus payload! Sounds more like a biology lab experiment than a breakfast cereal served in sugar with a little milk.

I am also frightened by the disturbing rumour that Oliver Stone is thinking about making an epic fanfic movie that will make every Thatcherite pre-order the DVD for enjoying it in private with a jar of vaseline and tissues. He is supposedly thinking about Meryl Streep for the lead probably because every other self-respecting actress in the UK would laugh at the very idea of it.

And, Scene from My Life, nee A Day in the Life, has finally returned after a long hiatus with a photographer in Paris whose photoblog I follow regularly.

Seven more days until we get the puppy. :)
