Multiculturalism at its Best

Yesterday Josh and I headed north for an afternoon jaunt in Montreal. I had a blast (i.e. we actually reached all planned destinations at the correct times without getting lost) as we gallivanted around the Cuban Art exhibit at the Musee des Beaux-Arts and then caught the screening of the documentary "Koolhaus Houselife" at the Canadian Centre for Architecture.

Both experiences were terribly enjoyable but the truly great moment occurred when Josh turned to me after the documentary had finished and said:

"So let me get this straight - we drove to Montreal to see a Cuban art exhibit and a movie made by Italians about a Dutch architect who built a house in France with a Spanish housekeeper?"

Indeed we did. This to me is multiculturalism at its best.

Another Craiglist Journey

It's early, I'm tired, and I'm putting off finishing a press release. And so I bring you today's craigslist fun:

Best/Most Confusing Headlines:

1. wall scones - $20

2. Elephant and/or cat - $10

3. NEEDED: Lifejackets (for people) and Kayak Rack (for Honda Civic)

4. Like New Twin Bed Matress and Boxspring - $50
(l.e.h.a.l.e note: - this is included as an example of all mattress ads on craigslist. I believe I speak for many when I say, simply, gross)

5. we have extremely HIGH scented candles variety of super SMELLY scents

And that's all I can muster for today. People are always an endless source of amusement, fascination and horror for me. Thanks to the good folks at craigslist for giving me a voyeuristic opportunity to laugh and cry.

It's Here! It's Finally Here!

Ohmigod Ohmigod Ohmigod. It's finally here - Opening Day at Fenway!!!

Cross fingers, cross toes, cross whatever you've got people and pray for good baseball!

Craigslist Strikes Again

I am a devoted reader of craigslist and a quasi-clean freak. Why do I mention this, you ask? Well, today I walked into my office and realized it was a complete disaster and immediately began repairing, cleaning and organizing. I feel much better. And so to wind down from the excitement of my cleaning spree, I surfed craigslist for a few minutes. I thought that I would bring you the best ad titles I found. For your entertainment I present:

1. beautiful shea's lounge chair

2. Need insurance $, selling my PC (wow, that's not the least bit sketchy...)

3. Dirty House??? - $1 (why would I want a dirty house for $1?)

6 NIDDY NODDY SPINNING WEAVING YARN - $50 (turns out this is in fact a yarn spinner, but from that title, I had no idea what the heck it was. I just liked "niddy noddy")

7. dog poop removal service - from ad: "I am attempting to be number 1 in the number 2 business." (lofty goal. Dream big, friend)

8. ELEPHANTS 275++ - $500 (even after reading the ad I'm not entirely sure what' s for sale)


And that concludes my tour of craigslist for the day.
