The Week in Review

I spent last week in LA and it was pretty magical. So magical that I wish I had some photos of my own to share, but since my sad little camera died on Monday (even though I FULLY charged it before leaving), I'm going to lift a few photos from the web to make this post somewhat interesting.

Remember how in Minority Report Tom Cruise was living in the future surrounded by really cool computers that could be controlled with your hands? Well, as Adam and I learned last week, that future has come to the present. We attended an event on 5D and learned that right now, models of those computers are being built and used. Yup, the mouse may soon die out in the future. As will sitting down at a computer.

I met up with my friend Wooge on Wednesday night and gave in to peer pressure to eat meat. And not just any meat...a whopper of a burger at Father's Office. It was delicious but I'm going to make sure they fully cook mine the next time. Any redness, even a little bit, makes me cringe. The sweet potato fries with the garlic aioli sauce though...heaven.

from the LA Times website. i couldn't find a bigger photo to steal.

On Saturday morning, Adam and I went to the LA Times Festival of Books. This was our fifth time at the event and it was awesome as usual. We went to a panel discussion on how human beings have evolved over time and a Harvard professor argued that cooking has been a core part of our evolution, especially in recent years when fast food liberated women from kitchens and men from depending on women for food. (Interesting, although I personally don't want to award fast food with that much credit.)
