There's this film I want

| 0 Comments

There's this film I want to see called Better Luck Tomorrow. It's only being shown in small independent style theaters, and it's been getting really great reviews. It's an Asian-American film that attempts to juggle a lot of subjects into a great movie, and if the initial reviews of the film are any indication, it manages to do so.


It's been an on-again, off-again rainy day today, so I took the time to catch up on all the books and movies that I just haven't been able to read or watch. As always, I found inspiration and wisdom in them.


I bought a case of Dasani water because it was on sale, but on the label of the bottles is this: "DASANI is filtered for purity, using state of the art treatment by reverse osmosis and enhanced with minerals for a pure, fresh taste. DASANI is water - pure and essential." Reverse osmosis is going from high concentration of solute to low concentration of solute, so I guess Dasani is the low concentration stuff which they then apply osmosis to enhance it with minerals... what's scary is they don't mention on the bottle anywhere what those minerals are... Since it's from the Coca-Cola company, I suspect there's something in there that makes you more thirsty... unlike some of the other water bottles I have lying about the apartment, it doesn't say "Sodium Free" anywhere... I'm sure someday, on a bottled water, we'll see something like "Natural Water, naturally created by combining 2 Hydrogen with 1 Oxygen"...
