the BEST craigslist personal ad EVER

So my friend, who loves to giggle at the personal ads in our local craigslist saw this and immediately thought I should see it:

Let us frolic in my totally dope blanket fort - 21
Yes, I know what you’re saying, “dude, that blanket fort sucks.” That would not be the first time I’ve heard such scathing reviews. Its structural integrity is dubious at best and there isn’t a whole lot of headroom. But c’mon, it’s not like I’m a fucking architect. Besides, this little baby is just a prototype. I have vast resources of cushions for anchoring and blankets in order to maximize square footage. My living room is just waiting to be turned into a wicked sweet labyrinth of love.

I am very open to suggestions in respect to design and construction, as I’d like this fort to be a shared vision. Much like the Taj Mahal, its intended that this little beauty will be inspired by a very special lady. Once our shelter is erected, we can move in and work on some of our higher order needs. Or we could just order a pizza and tell ghost stories. Please email me with a picture if you want to be invited to this living room party. It will be sweet.

PS: I’m allowed to have sleepovers.

Thrills from a Detention Center in the Philippines

My posts are coming few and far between these days - the summer heat, actual work, and my back injury have not motivated me to do much extracuricular blogging... and then I run across a video like this and I know I have to share. The inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center united in their love for Michael Jackson's early video masterpiece, "Thriller." If for any reason the embedded video says you require a plug-in, you can access the video at this link too.
