So I downloaded the wordpress iPhone app. This is a test post. I’ve been feeling pretty regretful about my lack posts – in particular my inability to follow through on the film festival coverage. Perhaps this app can help change that.
Enough writing to complain about not writing.
Alissa and I gave up beer for lent. While we don’t really do that kind of thing, we thought that if our friend Pat could then we definately could. Since Easter ended, I’ve enjoyed drinking good beer again. Recently I’ve had new brews from new glarus (stone soup and cracked wheat) and the great Dane (among others).
This and all the beer commercials during baseball games have had me thinking about beer. In particular, have you ever noticed that budweiser’s ad campaigns are attempts to convince you that it actually is beer. Consider their recent campaigns:
This is budweiser. This is beer. (because you couldn’t tell by drinking it)
Drinkability. (this beer does have qualities that you might possibly consider consuming – maybe)
Shouldn’t beer be like porn? That we know it when we see/drink it? And shouldn’t beer be more than drinkable? Water is drinkable. I want wheat/hops/barley/oats and non-water like flavor.
In fact the existience of the ad campaign implies that bud is neither drinkable, nor beer.
