Magazines

Confession:
I read a classmate’s blog about being a magazine junkie. I have never purchased a magazine. I guess this would make me the opposite of this person. A visit to Barnes and Nobles a couple of days ago changed my status. I purchased each of the magazines on the suggested list.

Going though the periodicals a page at a time, I can to realize how this person could adapt that attitude. These publications are quite motivating; I see now why they are suggested. More purchases are on the horizon. Speaking of which, Rolling Stone’s one issue price $4.50.

They have a special 26 issues for $19.95.

Starfruit on the Tree

Most pictures shown were single starfruit. I thought it interesting to display the growth pattern before the harvest.

Chapter 5

Two DVD’s come to mind as I read chapter 5: Race-The Power of an Illusion and The Journal of Man. Both examines the differences but more the similarities of humans. Each present a remarkable view of how we as a people are just that—a people. They can be on loan from Lansdale Library and the Diversity Office.

Interview

I just read a classmate's blog about nervousness in conducting an interview for the first time. I also found myself there; especially, when interviewing someone who is at the same time living the life of a homeless person and working by some means on a PhD. The assignment: find an interesting person to interview; I think I have done just that. In our society, we have a tendency to look down on the homeless; simultaneously, we have a tendency to look up to a PhD candidate. It was a possession of nearly all of society’s levels in this singular being.

It is how we think that shows us how we see ourselves. When asked, "How long have you been homeless?" the reply was "I have been living with the homeless for eight or nine years."

Fruit

I had a star fruit with my lunch today and what I came away with was that it was interesting. Not that it was bursting with favor or that it was an exciting adventure, but that it was interesting. I forgot to mention that this was my first one. Its shape was very different and its taste, my buds say it, has a hand full of different fruit flavors rolled up in one and coming to the palate one at a time, or a couple at a time or …. Refreshing, I may add, which help make it an interesting experience.

The produce book at the market stated that star fruit adds to the flavor of chicken salad and it just happened that I also had a chicken salad wrap for lunch.

First class

This is actually a test to verify if I am following the correct procedure for creating a new blog.
