My favourite song...

I love this song. Peter Doherty, sure he's had issues. Its not good. But his writing is poetry and I like this one especially.

Tofulicious

I wish I could eat tofu, all the time. Ok it’s a weird texture, makes your teeth furry and looks like an alien creature that’s shriveled up in to an ice cube mold, but its good for you. And not only is the tofu little creature good for you but its good for the planet…ahh…

As a child I refused to eat my veggies (except for broccoli because it reminded me of trees and made me feel like a giant), fussy eater me, now however I am advocating for more consumption of a food made by curdling fresh hot soymilk with a coagulant… if you told seven year old Jess that she would find herself eating such a disgusting thing in the future, she would have sworn on her little pony “NEVER!” before spiking her brother’s milk with strawberry Nesquik.

Still I am a little wiser and understand that farming uses up much larger landmass than vegetables and tofu. Hence reducing the destruction of rain forests, wildlife and also produces less pollution. Yes indeed, more vegetables and tofu are a great alternative.

All they need to do is make tofu taste like chicken… or steak… or salmon…

Coldplay Rocked My World Lastnight...

Coldplay and I, well we've had our moments. I listened to their first album relentlessly until I found out my Dad was. Then I subscribed to the common thought that they were relentlessly depressing.


This has changed, along with new albums, their evolving sound and my own musical maturity. I saw them last night performing at the Acer Arena, what a show. Highlights included:

• Finding out our seats were wrong and we were actually meant to be at the front!
• Befriending the stage crew who gave us beer and the set list at the end of the show
  
• Dancing to Yellow
• Singing to Green Eyes
• Relentlessly smiling
• Confetti butterflies falling from the high ceiling glowing in the UV lights
• The realisation that Chris Martin albeit hyperactive, is a humble and incredibly talented musician

Their songs are gorgeous. Sighs...
