Keeping It Hyperreal
1. vonda shepherd red lobster
Why do I know that name? It'll come to me…yes, the Ally McBeal songstress. Oh nineties, good for something, after all.
Though I’m afraid that I can’t help this searcher—do they want to know if she was spotted in a Red Lobster a la Page Six, if her music is piped into the restaurant or what?
The most disconcerting aspect is that apparently I made mention of Vonda Shepherd at some point in the past (and spelled Shephard incorrectly).
Well, at least we have this.
2. the simulacra of olive garden
That’s a bit heady. And I didn’t attend an intellectually rigorous college (obviously) so this is no time and place for deep deconstructing. But according to Jean Baudrillard (via Wikipedia, of course) a simulacrum is no mere copy of the real, “but becomes truth in its own right: the hyperreal.” Sounds like the Olive Garden I know. So, uh, Tuscan all the way!
Also, if you Google “but becomes truth in its own right: the hyperreal” you’ll find a shitload of artist’s statements.
3. how many points in dunkin donuts flatbread egg white veg
Ok, more my speed. Black and white questions, and one with which I have direct experience. I’m a sad sack who counts Weight Watchers points and has eaten a Dunkin’ Donuts Flatbread sandwich (only once).
Six points, if you must know. For the record, one of their chocolate-frosted doughnuts is only 5 points.
