Happy Monday

OK! So been buzzing around our quaint little downtown and three little things popped into the ol’noggin’.

1. Whoever decides ‘good graffiti’ versus ‘bad graffiti’ in the city need to cruise over the Stadium Skytrain station and declare this debacle ‘bad graffiti’. Then get rid of it (click here for ‘good graffiti’).

Yes, bleeding hearts, I know nobody crowned me the expert on what’s good and what’s bad in the graffiti world. I just think this looks like shit. The end.

2. The Vancouver Public Library would be the best library in the history of libraries (esthetically) if the inside looked as cool as the outside. Outside: Architectural Genius. Inside: 1920′s communism.

But I guess what’s important is the plethora of lovely books it has, so who cares what it looks like. Plethora, by the way, is the most pompous word in the history of words. While I was writing my masters thesis, I shamelessly used it as many times as possible just to have a chuckle to myself about what a silly word it is. It was like a little game I played to maintain my sanity while writing the colossal thing that now collects dust somewhere on a shelf.

3. A wise old friend of mine once said something along the lines of “If you can’t throw a deer in the back of it, it ain’t worth drivin’ (then he shotgunned a Pilsner)”. In lieu of this redneck mindset, I do agree with him to a point. Which is why whoever drives this little diddy deserves a big high-five: It’s deer-in-the-back worthy plus it can be used for a plethora (crrrringe) of other things.

So there are your random pictures and thoughts on a beauty Monday. Hope you have a swell week!
