Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

I’ve seen the press, and I have to say that the whole thing makes me a little suspicious.
I think they prolly decided what would happen before they even started to film their “documentary.”

I say hooray for the film. Americans need a reality check.

Yes, Harry, I expect that this film will be a “documentary” in the same way that Michael Moore’s last movie was. That is to say, the film equivalent of an op-ed piece…and I’m fine with that. If I want impeccably researched information about how bad fast food is, I’ll read Fast Food Nation a second time.

Description of Closet Skelton category: What’s my skeleton in the closet? Pop culture. I’m facinated by pop culture. I like to pretend it’s a side-effect of my sociology degree: pop culture is an excellent barometer of where American culture is, since we seem to live on a steady diet of whatever entertainment crap we’re fed. The crap that’s popular tells you a lot about the people injesting it. But part of me thinks I just like it.
