Is the fortune cookie Chinese? Uhm, about as Chinese as David Carradine The Banger Sisters divx

The Big Hit movie

. New York Times writer Jennifer 8 Lee wrote a fun book on the origins of the fortune cookie and American Chinese food called the Fortune Cookie Chronicles

. She was also recently in China for the Olympics and took this video of some puzzled Chinese eating their first fortune cookie.

Also, as an aside. I spoke to someone at the bar today who said he had a hard time finding ‘familiar’ Chinese food while in China. I also think the whole constant food poisoning and stomach trouble caused him to not like the cuisine.

So a bit more from my New York trip. One of my favourite things was my visit to P.S. 1, a public school out in Queens that was converted into a public art museum. Jonny Dovercourt and I went to see the building because I kept raving about it. There was some great Finnish art, including a haunting installation inspired by the doomed Russian submarine Kursk.

But the neatest thing is the agriculture installation out in the courtyard called P.F. 1 (Public Farm 1). From the press release:

P.F.1 (Public Farm One) is an urban farm concept that evokes the look of a flying carpet landing in the P.S.1 courtyard. Constructed from large cardboard tubes, its top surface will be a working farm, blooming with a variety of vegetables and plants.

My co-worker Scott Deveau had a very, very close call in Afghanistan. He was in an armoured vehicle hit by an IED over the weekend. His post is here. Epic Movie

The conversation naturally turned to IEDs, and which armoured vehicle was safer when they were struck by one.

Then all of the sudden the Earth opened up and spat us out.

The closest thing I can compare it to is a car accident. You’re cruising along, listening to your tunes on the radio, when all of the sudden you’re rolling over in the ditch and the crystal clear reality of the situation hits you like a ton of bricks.

The IED hit us in mid-sentence. Flipped the vehicle, hanging us from our seatbelts. The blast had blown my helmet and my glasses clear off my head and honestly, I had no idea what had happened until I heard Tobi screaming “Holy shit! Holy shit!”

Sadly my friend Brianna Goldberg was not so lucky. From the article

:

My identity crisis began a few weeks ago with a simple self-Google. I wanted to find a link to my most recent article, and I really didn’t think twice when I keyed “Brianna Goldberg” into the search box. But a mere 0.22 seconds later, at the top of almost 200,000 entries, there she was in the No. 1 spot: my nemesis, my Googlegänger …

… the Other Brianna Goldberg.

download The Anderson Tapes movie

“I am Brianna Goldberg. I am a lesbian who lives in Brooklyn, NY, USA,” read her Wikipedia user page, the first hit for our shared name.

Clicking on it, I found a brief autobiography that revealed she’d been “diagnosed with borderline personality disorder” and that she is a pagan who worships the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

I am not a jealous person. I love to share my snacks, my home, whatever. I’d even share my Invisible Pink Unicorn if I had one.
