I was passed by a bedroom yesterday, while riding my motorcycle home after work.
It was a mobile IKEA showroom, complete with a fashionable couple having a discussion. Bed, chair, nightstand, shelving—all encased in plexiglass walls, perched atop wheels, moving at 45mph. What do you talk about when you’re on assignment, and your assignment is to act as a couple of money-wise friends or lovers, cruise the city, and pretend to have a lovely time with all your DIY furniture?
Politics? What your hopes and dreams are? Trade stories about the worst grande quad-shot soy lattes you’ve had? Where the best deals are on hair putty and pre-distressed clothing can be found?
I doubt you discuss how clever and simple all the furniture was to build.

You probably know someone who has lost a pet. In fact, if you are reading this, you can be sure you do. But this isn’t about me losing a pet, or you losing a pet. This is about how funny the events that power the world collide in serendipitous ways to make me giggle.
Yesterday, my girlfriend’s sister had a parrot get out of its cage. Not usually calamitous, I know. However, her sister also owns two dogs, and a cat or two, as well as another bird (actually bird-sitting my girlfriend’s bird). One might make a note, however, of a tidbit of info concerning the other furry denizens of the house: the dogs are bird dogs.
One brief thing lead to another, and in no time at all, one could say the household suddenly had a spare cuttlefish bone.
I got online just now, and flicked open my customized Google home page with a slew of RSS feeds, and yesterday’s HowTo of the Day was the following:
How the internet and the world conspire against my poker face.
Tee-hee.
