odd

I wasn't feeling inspired to post today but this craigslist posting is so odd I had to share it:

I am in the midst of writing a book called 30 stories 30 nights. I have reserved a hotel room in midtown for 30 straight nights and plan on writing about how people spend their time in hotel rooms. Each night will represent a different chapter. The chapters will consist of information that I observe as well as an interview that will be conducted with each participant. The compensation for this is $150 a night. Also, feel free to bring whomever you would like to stay with you for the night. If you have any questions, please let me know. Hopefully, there will be 30 interested participants.

* Location: Midtown
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: $150

It doesn't even make sense. Is this guy (and yes I assume it's a guy) gonna sit in the hotel room and observe you all night? How creepy and how not an interesting book idea!

Unemployment is at over 10% a 24 year high! And the funny thing is that I don't even count in those numbers, imagine how many people it must really be, like 20% of our country???

I just looked up the endocrinologist that I am going to on Monday. She's Russian and has gotten some pretty bad reviews on line for awful bedside manner, can't wait to meet her!

I've spent most of the day making a slideshow with wedding photos for our upcoming west coast wedding celebration. I think my eyes are officially crossed from staring at screens too long. A lot harder to edit on a laptop! I already miss my desktop though it's nice to be typing from the couch right now. It's freezing outside and I've gotten no exercise today, not good!
