Museum of Broken Relationships

In my daily news searches of a morning I stumbled across the Museum of Broken Relationships. This is so strange and yet, it seems like it would be a very comforting museum to visit. Not because of relishing in other people's misery, but seeing that people everywhere have at one time felt something you have felt. And anyone can send stuff in to be considered part of the museum. And I stopped to think of what things I would send to the museum. There would be a necklace with a sanddollar on it. A little rubber zombie doll named Abner. 2 cards and an imperial russia eagle pin. A guitar with 2 broken strings. dozens of dried roses, all orange. Several different doctors bills. A creepy stuffed bear that says "I want another hug!" when you squeeze it. A brown velor track suit. A Bruce Lee t-shirt. thousands of post-it notes. An amber ring, necklace and earrings set. A mixed tape (actually a cd). The movie "When Harry Met Sally." A chain off my mountain bike. A WVU hoodie. A giant candle shaped like a lighthouse. A handcarved jewelry box with the chinese symbol for eternal love on it.

I could give these people enough memories for my own show.

In other news, I'm thinking about moving. Which is really dumb considering all the work I've just done on the trailer, but I've got itchy feet.

I'm also strongly thinking about taking this community music class that being offered at the CAC starting at the end of the month. for 2 hrs on 10 fridays I could learn to play the steel drums. I don't have any reason that I shouldn't take this class other than sheer laziness. So we'll see what happens with that.
