The Curious Case of Child Actors

Please, please dear Hollywood... do not subject me to child actor speaking roles in the last 15 minutes of a 2 and a 1/2 hour movie.  Listening to a child actor try to talk old?  Really?  Have you heard/seen child actors?  They can hardly play children. 

Eating a Healthy Joint

Instead of once again clogging my arteries for dinner, tonight I grabbed some salmon from Albert Hein.  I decided at the last minute to add an ingredient to the line up... some of Amsterdam's finest (aka cheapest) sprinkled right on top of the olive oil covered fish.  I'll have to test this again (maybe unsuspectingly on my roommate) just to make sure there's no placebo charade going on, but I do believe I've got a nice little buzz.  And suddenly the world of cooking with marijuana seems AWESOME...

69 Calle de Orense, Madrid, Spain

This address is not remarkable because it's where I recently stayed for 70 euros/night (nightmares... separate story). This address is not remarkable because it reminds us of that giggly sex position we all watch on pornoxtubepussycock.com but rarely perform ourselves. This address is not remarkable because it is spanish and I speak english.

This address is remarkable because the address DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT is 43 Calle de Orense, Madrid, Spain. And where was I when I was searching for my hotel? On this other side of the street. Thinking I needed to go down a couple more blocks because obviously 43 is way less than 69. Either my dumb American logic is faulty, or Spain has not yet determined that it makes sense to have addresses on BOTH sides of the street correspond to each other. Fuck me.

I live and work with Michael Scott

For example,

We walk by a gift shop titled "The Amster Dammer" - I say "What a stupid name for a gift shop."  He says "Huh, the Meister Dammer??"  I guess the non-traditional "A" really threw him off, because instead of normal letters it was made up of two of Amsterdam xxx posts leaning into each other.  And yeah they are a bit penile-ese.

Not too much later, I ask if he thinks Steve Correll is funny.  He says "Well yes and no...."  Then a few seconds later "...I think he's stupid."  I'm confused which part of that answer leaned toward 'yes'.  

More posts to come for sure on this subject... not a day goes by without fresh examples.

SEE!  As I was writing this, another great one came up.  Michael Scott is now convinced that this guy he found on facebook is black, because all of the guy's friends on facebook are black.  To be honest the guy looks like he might be Latin American.  But, since he might be a lighter black person, Michael thinks he may in fact be "Milano".  (I think that's the wrong term... not that it's really a 'right' term anyway).

My next project is to figure out who the rest of my office colleagues are on the office.  I want to call my boss Phyllis, but that's more for fun than accuracy.
