Hey everybody! I meant to update sooner, but I haven't been able to due to the guilt of possibly causing the death of a person I wrote about in my last entry. Also because of the fact that I haven't had access to a computer on which to update with. I know, I still don't have one, but it is looking like I will be getting one soon, so I'm keeping ( Read more... )

Ah Whole Foods.

I never once or will ever eat anything from their sushi bar. I had some of the Indian food once out of sheer desperation and their rice completely sucked. It was harder than cardboard, yet tasted like cardboard. I do have to admit their pastries are really good, especially the strawberry parfait and their tarts.

The ones here are full of condescending yuppies and old rich people who thinks they're actually eating healthy. And yes, we have the hippies here, too. But no dudes walking around like druids though. You've one-upped me on that.

I don't understand how one can botch rice. It baffles me. I do like how foreign/not made of grease = healthy nowadays, but that's practically everywhere. Like how this 600 calorie coffee has NO TRANS FATS! or something.

Maybe he will visit your local Whole Foods someday. I don't know, it was kind of scary at the time.

Omigosh, I hate Rob Thomas tooo!

THIS:

the back photos suggest that you should just place your shit in the center of the nori and wad it into a crude ball and then slice it from there.

made me lol irl.

Also, I've been to a Whole Foods before and know exactly what you mean. Stupid, pretentious hippie store. I prefer to shop at Asian markets, thanks. Specifically Uwajimaya, which I just got back from, coincidentally.

Oh I don't get actual ingredients that I plan to have meals with from the Whole Foods, hell no. I go there for snacks. Seriously, they have ! ACTUAL SNACKS FROM ASIA ! at any grocery store, but surprisingly not at Whole Foods, so I wonder how in the hell these people who visit Asia think that getting some vegan Asian-inspired fried chicken mix or whatever is more authentic. But Whole Food has some damn good chips. And coconuts!

miley cyrus quotes rob thomas all the time on her twitter.
she's not fat or ugly or hippie.
rob thomas is like any other american pop singer, just like what's his name, the guy who sang "Chariot". or like daniel powter who sang "Bad Day" which came on the radio every 10 minutes, literallyI always thought Whole Foods was a grocery store for rich people. Just like Harris Teeter except organic. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up with Fresh Market, which seems more normal, I guess. But my white friends who are not hippies, shave regularly, and have nice hygiene usually buys lunch like a plate of lasagna from there to eat at school. umm, I just never thought whole foods was that unusual ( ... )

Oh, Miley Cyrus. She is sort of a hippie. How the hell does one quote Rob Thomas? Does he make speeches or something? Or his repetitive songs? Why. I don't even know who those singers are, probably I've heard their songs and thought they were Rob Thomas ( ... )

juiceshop July 28 2009, 03:47:25 UTC

Miley is a country girl, there's a difference. She quotes his songs, calls him a genius for his lyrics, and says really sweet things about life and Jesus. I didn't think Rob Thomas was still this popular.

I just went onto their website to look at what kind of products they sell because I'm usually not sensitive to certain grocery stores' "vibes" which you say Whole Foods gives off a whole lot of weird ones. And I found "Alter Eco Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Robust" The name is cheesy. Alter Eco is vegan, but how is olive oil not vegan to begin with. It is "fruity and filled with hope", also made from fresh picked olives from Palenstine. AKA exotic. I love the person who writes the product descriptions, they should be saluted in their own Bud Lite commercial.

On Odwalla Original Superfood:
Smooth and sweet, this gushing garden gulp is a blend of sweet apple juice and luscious purées of fruits expertly blended with green foods including wheat grass, barley grass and wheat sprouts. Odwalla Superfood is an easy and tasty way to ( ... )

I didn't think he was popular either, but suddenly he has a new album and is like Elvis here or something. Miley Cyrus's twitter sounds great.

I don't know how veganism works, but the products at Whole Foods it seems like they add extra things to the description so they can make you think it's exotic and cool and jack the price up. "Gushing Garden Gulp" makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah everything is terribly overpriced, so if the international section products are like twenty bucks more than they are at Harris Teeter, that makes them "authentic" or something. I have no idea what goes through the minds of people. I'm most disturbed by the all natural vegan plant based deodorant aisle. I have to question if they work if they only are made up of Head-On ingredients or something, how much could it really help?

"White sauce" is another name for it. So if you've had that, yeah, that's it. I read about that place, I think they colour-coordinate the plates, but I don't remember, what's it called?

but he was "only sorta fluent in the language"

Riiiight. I can imagine that Orientese is a pretty difficult language to master. Reminds me of a time when I went outside to walk a few years ago and this dumbass noticed me, decided he was clever in asking if I spoke "Asian" in an attempt to deliver some sort of earth shattering insult to me, and laughed about it. He should pay more attention in school rather than smoking weed all day. :B

Uwajimaya is about the only place I have fun shopping at. I don't know what it is about it haha~

tamamushi July 27 2009, 20:46:44 UTC

It was how he said it, like he was only just "sorta" fluent, as if he had invented the language and everybody else was saying it wrong. Why would that prevent you from visiting a country? I'd think being able to have a brief conversation would be a bonus...

I just don't understand it, but if the guy's smoking weed, I guess his logic makes more sense than the comments of most people with sentences that start out with "No offense, but..."

I have fun at a shop everywhere I go. If there's nothing to buy, there will at least be some sort of live theatre of someone acting like a complete dumbass.

I've only been in Whole Foods once, and it was a few months ago because my cousin and sister-in-law shop there and took me with when they visited. They buy organic diapers and stuff for my niece (whom I will corrupt into normalcy soon). But it's way too overpriced and pretentious for me ( ... )

tamamushi August 24 2009, 23:53:42 UTC

You're back, that's good! Is Wisconsin really cold? I'm OK, I'm trying desperately to get a computer soon so I can actually update.

I would prefer to hear your teacher sing than look at Rob Thomas's fucking CD cover face.

Maybe he was performing a ritual, and Whole Foods has awesome ley lines or something, I don't know... he didn't have a basket or anything, he was just walking.

Daigaku should be saving his money from AnimeFurFestConventionKun2010 and try to get into a college so that he can learn that his shirts are very very wrong.
