walbourn"and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying past"
-- 32 Flavors Ani Difranco
While shopping for some baking accouterments at Bed, Bath, and Beyond tonight, I heard Ani Difranco's 32 Flavors playing on the music system. Well, more correctly some evil, twisted musak version of the song. It sounded a lot like Ani, but if it is her and she agreed to the treatment, she is a sell-out bitch. Whoever recorded even cut the song up--removing the first entire half to the above verse--to make it seem less bitter and political. That's just wrong.
Since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loree is kind enough to invite me to her Thanksgiving dinner, I'm going to make two pies and my bother's dinner roll recipe. I'm doing mostly from-scratch cooking, although I'm not going to be so hard-core as to use fresh pumpkin and will settle for the canned stuff. Also picked up some other groceries for the four-day weekend.
When I was at Trader Joe's, the guy was checking out in front me amused me greatly. He was wearing a beret, and his purchase was that most bohemian of breakfasts: organic fat-free milk, organic corn flakes, and a bottle of white wine. You go, guy.
Update: I got confirmation fromjeliza that the version of 32 Flavors I heard was in fact a soulless pop cover. Phew! I was worried for just a moment that Ani's flawless angrygrrl image might just be an act to garner fans :>
