Amusing snaps
Unfurnished apartments need furniture and as I don't own any I need to buy some. Today's mission was to find a bed shop that hadn't already gone bust and get one from them. I started the process by looking for bed shops on Google Local and walking to them. Two of the three shops had closed down and one was in a distressed state and probably about to close down.
On the walk I noticed a few strange things, which I felt represented a few problems we're seeing today. The first is an advert for a real estate company which seems to be trading on the good looks of some of its female staff and uses the tag line "Bringing you home". Tasteful? You decide.
Next, I walked past a car which seemed to describe the US car industry in far more eloquent terms than I ever could. It's too big, it's got too much stuff in it and it's held together with gaffer tape.
Finally, I walked past an advert for cannabis which seems to suggest that it should be barbecued. Despite living in Amsterdam for six years I don't claim to be an expert on the holy herb but I don't think I've ever seen anyone grill herbs over hot coals on the Food TV network. How do you have yours?
Oh, and I did get the bed. Michelle pointed me at this place in Culver City. They had what I wanted and some good sale prices.
