1. At The St. Laurence Market






Julie's Dad took me to the St. Laurence Market this morning. So much stuff there, it really blows away the markets in Nova Scotia. I bought a book about Sumi-e painting and a BLT. Afterwards we toured around town and I bought copies of the new Giant Robot and Juxtapose. Finally we went to a Running Room clearance center where I bought a watch/stopwatch/heart rate monitor thing that I am currently trying to figure out. I thought the city looked wonderful in the rain, like a painting.

2. Juxtapose on Friday

Juxtapose means to put two things side by side. Long, long, ago a college professor praised my use of "ironic juxtaposition" in my writing.  I suppose that's pretty much in line with what people say about my writing now:  "You can make a metaphor out of anything." "You have a unique way of looking at the world."  I interpret that all to mean - I put things together funny.


Putting things together funny is FUN!  So as one of the regular features on this blog I'm going to give you two words which normally wouldn't be seen together. Use them as a writing prompt for a poem, story, whatever. Or just use them in a metaphor or simile.
Have fun.
