I can't not be lame about this "sexy berry"

I was trying to think of a creative title and response introduction to this, but there just isn't a way to not sound overly ridiculous.
Only ideas so far:
Not all berries just get hot from the son.... this Berry is hot all the time.
some dirty jokes about berries tasting good? way too much?
And that's all I've got. Basically, I feel the need to pay tribute to her on this blog. She is a babe and a berry. Ha. I win. And besides, there is no one who did not think she was beyond sexy in this Bond film.
So, you're welcome.

Some Fun Facts about Blueberries

  • Native Americans called blueberries "star berries" because of the five points of the blossoms making a star shape
  • Mocking their British roots, the first early American colonists renamed blueberries "buckle," "grunt," and "slump" as they added them to their traditional fruit and dough puddings.
  • During the Civil War, blueberries were collected and packaged to be sent to Union troops for use as a food staple.
  • Robert Frost loved blueberries so much he wrote a poem about them. It was creatively entitled, "Blueberries."
  • New Jersey claims the berry as its official state fruit.
  • Blueberries are the official berries of Nova Scotia, Canada.
  • Blueberries contain more antioxidants than most other fruits of vegetables.
  • Blueberries are one of the only traditional foods that are truly blue in color.

More "True Life" Edisodes!

Episode 27: Diversity Day
Many great television shows have a "diversity day" themed episode. May I turn everyone's memories to South Park's episode which brought along the fantastically offensive and hilarious singing J Lo brought to life on Cartman's hand?
"Fulfill all your wishes
with my taco-flavored kisses! Taco taco. Burrito"

Who could forget that musical gem? Anyway, on the Diversity Day episode of True Life: I work on a Vermont Berry Farm, a lesson in diversity is given as the whole crew picks blueberries. R tries to defend his use of the word "mexicans" to his gram, aka the boss, as she calls him out. His correction? "people who eat tacos" ... maybe he should write for South Park?

Episode 29: M and G Caught in the Act...
OF SINGING! A hot afternoon brings about the very common song and dance between M and G. After completing a duet together taking the two raspberry pickers through a fake(?) romantic quarrel, M breaks out in solo song. The theme of this song? Looking forward to a certain bodily function. Mid song, however, a regular customer walks up without the girls noticing until he is literally three feet away. Apparently, they had an audience.

The Perfect Theme Song

Okay, this actually has absolutely nothing to do with Babes or Berries but I want to post about it anyway, and because this is my blog, I can.

Television theme songs are hugely important in the way a show comes across and for the viewing pleasure of the audience. The song cannot be too long, too disconnected, or too short. If the intro is lengthy and filled with too many images it gets boring, especially now that watching television shows prerecorded or on DVD has become more popular. Someone may have to watch the intro repeatedly if watching more than one episode in one sitting. On the flip side, the intro should not be too short or meaningless. It should be catchy! Fun! Drawing the viewer into the feeling of the show.

Two television shows come to mind which succeed in the perfectly timed and catchy intro, ending just as you think it is going to get too long and leaving on a satisfying note: How I Met Your Mother and 30 Rock.

While I stand by these two as the best TV show intro songs, I will say that there is a counter argument to be recognized. Because these songs are short and direct, when watching the show on DVD it is dangerous to leave the menu on too long for risk of one's sanity. The short song playing over and over again can grow tiresome much faster than a more lengthy tune. Still, in the actual moment of watching the show, the short, catchy, direct and fun introductions take the win.


I'm really hoping no one who read this saw the title first and expected me to state my life theme song or something lame like that. Because I totally wasn't trying to see if I could come up with one throughout writing this entire post or anything.

Taking the higher road...


So, there's been a bit of drama at the berry farm recently. However, instead of using this space as a negative resource, I am instead going to post these beautiful pictures of blueberries in the morning. The dew was especially stunning this day.

Yes, I just laughed at myself too.
