May 21: Brazilian street painting, 2 Tuna Pouches, a Woo Who Koozie and Wrist Bracelet

Given to Camille from Karie.

Here's a star kissed

Karie ran a marathon yesterday and was given the tuna packs as her race recovery rations. The koozie and bracelet were also giveaways. The street painting, done by an 8-year old boy, was not. It came from her travels in Brazil. The scene depicts the famous Christ the Redeemer church, along with favelas that typically house low-income residents. If you watch the movie Rio, says Karie, you get a good sense of what the country is like.

In similar fashion, non-native Americans' opinions are shaped by the movies Hollywood produces. While picking one movie to depict what life is like in the United States is just about impossible, I think a combination of the following--if woven together--offer a good narrative. Just my humble opinion, but a damn good one, I think.

-What Women Want (all women want to be with Mel Gibson)
-The Expendables (road rage allegory expressed through Jason Statham)
-Burn After Reading (what most people do on a daily basis)
-Jesse Stone (the way 68% of American men style their facial hair)

-Camille was a pseudonym used by Prince in the late-80s and early-90s. Would Prince be your pseudonym or would it be something else?: Oh, I have several pseudonyms already: Melee, Big Foot, Butch (my dad called me and my mom this), Cooper Sweeney, Stink and Cammy

-In your job at the bank and also when you had a job at the library, you checked a lot of peoples' IDs for their birthday. How difficult would it be for you to work a "Guess Your Age" game at a carnival?: Very difficult. People younger than me I think are 12. People older I think they're a respectable 60.

-You are fascinated with Big Foot.
