Japanese Artists Create Famous Album Covers with Food! 2008-06-18 19:25:42 Common to Japanese
cuisine, a bento box is a single-portion lunchbox that usually holds sushi and a few other small side dishes.
I recently came across these amazing recreations of album covers that were created with the ingredients that are often found in bento boxes.
Here are my favorites:

Why Amy Winehouse Should Be an Eco-Spokesperson 2008-06-18 18:52:54 Even though Amy Winehouse
clearly expressed in her pop hit, “They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no,” she eventually did last January to combat her drug and alcohol addiction.
I’m glad she at least tried to get help for her personal problems because that girl can sing like no other. [...] Read more:Spokesperson
10 Big CO2 Emitting Movies from the Last 2 Decades 2008-06-15 18:26:05 I admit it: I’m an adrenaline-pumping, horrible plot but lots of car chases and bar fight scenes loving, cheesy action movie junkie. I saw Armageddon … and liked it. A lot. And this morning I was watching The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift . It’s a guilty pleasure of mine.
There’s just something mindlessly numbing [...] Read more:Decades
Why Does the Devil Wear Prada…and Not Recycled Cotton? 2008-06-13 21:39:52 And by Prada
I mean a Prada handbag, because every classy lady should have an expensive designer handbag, right?
Well, I consider myself a classy lady…most of the time…except when I’m watching the Orioles and they are down by 5 in the last inning. Then I get crassy, not classy! But overall I’m classy in my [...] Read more:Devil

Was Weezer’s Green Album Really Green? 2008-06-12 20:24:05 So, I’m a huge fan of Weezer
. I was first introduced to this great band by an ex of mine. He gave me the Pinkerton album because for some reason the song “El Scorcho” reminded him of me.
Maybe it was the famous “god damn you half Japanese girls.” I’m half Korean, but we pretty much [...] Read more:Album

Take me out to the solar heated ballgame 2008-06-11 18:49:47 Since I’ve moved to Baltimore, there are a few things that I’ve learned to love:
Old Bay seasoning
Hearing people say “warshing” machine
Seeing Mexi-mullets in Fells Point
The Resurrection beer at Brewer’s Art
Chicken cheesesteak subs from Never on Sunday
The Baltimore Orioles!
Of all of these things, I am most obsessed with the Baltimore Orioles. I think I’v
The Incredible Hulk Carbon Calculator 2008-06-11 16:32:24 Only 2 days after writing my first post on green characters, I found this: The Incredible

This is beyond cool! Not only do comic fans get to see Ed Norton go even more ballistic than he did in Fight Club and teenage boys get to see Liv Tyler play, yet again, another slow-witted [...]
Transformers: Mean, Green Fighting Machines? 2008-06-10 14:53:31 I was a child of the 80’s, so of course I loved The Transformers
. So you could imagine my surprise (as well as everyone else’s in the free world), when we learned that that live action movie was coming out.
Of course I went to see it, and thought it was a fun-filled ride back to [...] Read more:Green

Oscar the Grouch and other green characters 2008-06-06 15:58:25 When I was younger I remember that all my friends liked the cute cartoon characters that were associated with the colors of red, pink or purple… or some other horribly bright girly color. I guess that’s why Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie, Elmo, Big Bird and those adorable My Little Ponies were so popular.
But being the tomboy [...] Read more:Oscar

When Cloning a Dog is a Good Idea 2008-07-03 10:08:12 Dogs we wish we could clone: Benji. Underdog. Balto. Lassie. Scooby Doo. Beethoven. Deputy Dawg. Trakr?
If you’re wondering who Trakr is, he’s one of the dogs who sniffed out survivors of the New York World Trade Center catastrophe back in 2001. He actually located the last living survivor, who was trapped 30 feet [...] Read more:Cloning
In Search of Alternative Forms of Miley Cyrus… 2008-07-02 13:27:40 We are in desperate need of alternative energy sources to protect our environment’s natural resources, but according to this video from The Onion, we are also distressed over alternative forms of energy from teeny boppers other than Miley Cyrus to protect the lucrative entertainment industry.

New iPhone 3G Goes Green…Sort Of. 2008-07-02 09:03:05 Oh, the Apple iPod. It’s one of the greatest pop culture inventions of the last few years (besides the Nintendo Wii).

If Celebrities Endorsed Organic Food Products Part 2 2008-07-01 10:14:26 I wrote a blog last week about how nice it would be If Celebrities
Endorsed Organic
Food Products
instead of coming up with their own line of expensive jeans, smelly cologne or overpriced shoes.
Just think how much better our world would be if celebrities used their money and status to endorse healthy products instead of [...]
Bicycling + Bears = Bad Combination 2008-06-28 16:29:57 It’s bad enough that we have cut down all of Smokey the Bear’s Forests, polluted Yogi’s national parks and paved over Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre woods. Since we’re already running our bears out of their homes, does that mean we literally have to “run” over them as well?
Apparently a bicyclist in Boulder, Colorado thinks [...] Read more:Bears

Obama’s iPod List: What Does it Say About Him? 2008-06-26 21:13:52 Someone who just may become the next president of the United States not only proves that he is an advocate for change, but he also advocates listening to good music.
I recently read an article on CNN that shared what was on Barack Obama

Driving Off a Cliff: Cool in the Movies, But Not in Real Life 2008-06-26 15:50:26 Cliffs are some of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world. They’re actually one of the few things left in nature that men have not cut down, burned or paved over.
Most importantly, cliffs have been used in some of the greatest scenes in movie history. Remember Thelma and Louise’s infamous head-first dive off a [...] Read more:Driving

New Kids on the Block: Good New Song, Bad Eco Message 2008-06-25 19:13:09 Good news: NKOTB are back!
Bad news: Their new video is NOT eco-friendly.
Now I can’t lie, I liked the New Kids on the Block. I was a rebel and drooled over bad boy Donnie Wahlberg (who was surprisingly good in the Emmy Award-winning series Band of Brothers and disappointingly bad in the Saw sequels), while many [...] Read more:Message
Are You Serious? An iPod Jacket? 2008-07-16 09:43:47 Yes people, there is a new jacket on the market that is designed specifically for use with the iPod
.
Now you would think that it looks like any snowboarding jacket, with its hundreds of hidden pockets and trendy design, but what makes this jacket different is that it has an iPod keypad controlled on its sleeves!

Catch a Criminal, Get Free Gas! 2008-07-15 08:35:29 Nowadays gas costs an arm and a leg and crime is running rampant. I think that criminals are even beginning to do their “business” close to home so they can just walk there and avoid buying gas.
Paying less for fuel and reducing crime is at the top of everyone’s list, so one way that local [...] Read more:Catch

It’s a Sad Day When Airlines Must Take Away In-Flight Movies 2008-07-11 10:04:22 What will happen to the future of cinematic pop culture once airlines take away in-flight movies? Well, I guess that will force more people to read a book, go to sleep or listen to their iPods.
US Airways stated that it will stop offering in-flight movies on domestic flights this fall to cut expenses. This is [...] Read more:Airlines

Cows and Their Greenhouse Gaseous By-Products 2008-07-10 13:32:38 We’ve all seen the Got Milk? ads that show some of the most popular celebrities wearing milk mustaches. And we all know that when celebrities endorse something, it has got to be good for us, right?
Well, there’s something else from cows that could be good for us and the environment the more that we learn [...] Read more:Products
The Green Truth Behind Those Famous Albums (in my opinion) 2008-07-09 09:06:31 When an artist writes a song, there’s usually some hidden meaning or message behind it that no one but the artist knows. For all we know the song could be about an ex, a pet dog or that guy bagging groceries in the local supermarket.
I personally think that many songs, or whole albums, could be [...] Read more:Green

Well, you can get knowledge about protein from a different kind of beetle.

If the American Gladiators Supported the Green Movement… 2008-07-07 08:06:31 In my opinion, the original American
Gladiators t.v. show was one of the best Saturday morning shows of the late eighties and early nineties. The recent relaunch of the show this past year with Hulk Hogan and Lailia Ali is a weak attempt to revive the original series, and the one time I watched it [...] Read more:Green
