A Good Source Of Protein for lunch, Eclipse, and Influence
Instead of dropping 2 lbs. this past week, I gained a pound -- not surprising, after being bitten by the dreaded Starch Monster. Dastardly fiend, his werewolf countenance and six pack abs have left me yearning for all manner of white fluffy carbs.
So it's back to the protein plates and chamomile tea from Starbucks.
Speaking of beasts, have no expectations about the third Twilight film, Eclipse, which the family and I will be seeing shortly. Am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. The 1st movie was phenomenal, even with its lower production values, the 2nd less so -- an example of how storytelling trumps...pretty much everything else.
That's an awfully powerful lesson for anyone interested in innovation and spreading that innovation around. Storytelling is practically hardwired into us; as social creatures, we have no defenses against engaging tales.
Tell a good enough story, and you can get people to stop abusing their wives, lose weight and quit smoking, cut HIV transmission by 25%, and part with $2000 for an online business course. You can convince them that change is possible, worthwhile, and desirable RIGHT NOW.
Or that you can lose 19 lbs. in 3 weeks and drop your BP 30 points :)
Anyhoo. Tea and work beckon.
