questions and some answers.

i'm weirded-out by a few things and i'm gonna tell you about them now - or a couple of them...

when, collectively, you go to a store and get a product - what product doesn't matter - and then go to the till to pay, are you amazed that they, the staff, ask you for money? to pay for the goods you have decided to purchase....? no...? ok...perfect. so why is that there are people out there that stand in line, wait, then get to the till, give the stuff to the staff, and then and only then, after being told what the cost of the items is, only then do they reach into their pockets and get out money? like it's a fucking huge surprise after all that they have to pay...come on people. hundreds of years of consumerism tells us that things cost money. get you're fucking money out.

and why is it that the stock market on granville island - a soup place i love to hate, accepts mastercard and visa but not debit. huh? come on. you're making a king's ransom of that crappy-all-tastes basically the same soup, let me use debit when i have no real cash...ok. it costs you a little each transaction...so be like the veggie folks on the island and charge 10 cents or 25 cents....and you're making 500 percent on that shitty soup anyways so give us a little break...

what's up with people who have a couple's e.mail address? like billandnancy@gmail.com - i just made that up but i think you get the idea. is there no privacy between couples? or just separation? my e.mail. your e.mail. i have a couple friends who a: have one e.mail address for the both of them and b: even one couple that shares a cell phone. so who gets it? and when? tell your wife you want your own e.mail address and a phone too...and women - do the same...

i found this today - though it's been around for a long time. seems like a good idea. check it out.

also, there's now a broom store on granville island - the granville island broom company. they make handmade brooms. i need a broom for my deck so i may go and get one from them. it's all a little hippie for me but they look like good brooms and you can go there and watch them make a broom - i bet you've never seen that. they're just down from hammered & pickled on your way to emily carr. check it out.

this rain can fuck-off anytime.
