last night picked out almost an entire apartment's worth of furniture that i am currently waiting to be delivered. i have decided that no matter what happens, i will be keeping most of this furniture. if i move apartments, cities, countries, galaxies whatever. this shit is going to go with me. call it a new found love of domesticity.

ad age
this ad age article breaks down the social and psychographics of social network users.
and inadvertently backs up twitter as being the coolest one right now. unsurprisingly, because facebook has the most users it also contains the most number of people we could consider average whereas twitter is smaller and therefore unsullied by middle america.

rosie the riveter, dead at 86
this obituary is fascinating. the original woman chosen as the look for 'rosie the riveter' declined to be the look in a promotional film. like most people in her generation, she was not a fame whore and didn't want to be highlighted at the expense of everyone else. which is why she did more for women's rights (i would dare say inadvertently or at least not so actively) and the war effort than most leading feminists today. in my opinion it's because she led by example.
today is 7.8.09
which means that a little bit ago at 12:34 and 56 seconds, it was 123456789. I was hoping for an apocalypse of some kind. nothing doing. too bad.
wednesday.
last night, we went to a pick up service for a package from a client for me. it was a typically montreal experience. the pick up place is located by the airport. when we arrived, the one clerk working left the building to run to a dining truck that had pulled up so he could get dinner. he didn't keep us waiting that long though, so it was okay.
when m. asked if they had a more centrally located pick up place the guy said "I wish. I've only been asking for that for the past five years."
ah, montreal. somehow i feel like if this place didn't piss me off at least once a day with its ridiculous ways, i wouldn't like it as much. i guess that means i feel at home here.
