Have I mentioned here that I have a bread slicer? If I ever figure out a way to make a spherical loaf I’ll send you the crusts so you can measure them

Even a half sphere would work for our purposes.

My Airbnb host has woken me up twice now at 10am banging on my door, for well meaning reasons, to give me more pots and pans and to make sure the AC is working alright, but still, wtf. It scares the crap out of me being asleep and all, and I have to answer the door looking like I just got dragged out of a cage. Should I be giving a negative review here?

That seems weird. Every Airbnb host I have had strives to avoid personal contact and make it feel like they don’t even exist. They’ll show up, but only on demand and only if an issue can’t be solved another way.

Well to be fair I requested the extra pans, but it was like 2 days later. The AC he said there was a humming noise on the outside of the unit so he wanted to check it out. He seems like a nice enough guy who just doesn’t understand that pounding on my door at 10am isn’t the appropriate way to conduct business.

This is similar to what they do at the immersive Van Gogh experience, which I highly recommend.

I wouldn’t give a bad review over that.

Also remember they review you too. In Paris both AirBnB hosts waited until I gave them a (glowing) review, then they gave me one back.

Yeaahh maybe I’m overreacting. But someone banging on your door while you’re sleeping and keeps banging until you answer it is just so incredibly obnoxious to me. And kind of scary. I actually thought it was the police the first time he did it.

They supposedly can’t read yours until submitting theirs or their time to submit one expires. It is designed to prevent exactly above.

Ah

The Klimt is one of more than 150 artworks from Allen’s estate that will be sold at Christie’s on Nov. 9 and 10 in an auction valued at more than $1 billion (with the proceeds going to philanthropy, as Allen directed). While the sale was announced in August, now, for the first time, the auction house has begun to divulge what those treasures are.

Took me five minutes just to figure out what the hell I was doing. Took me another fifteen to actually get it

man, it’s always a jolt when the cops rev up and stop next to your house with flashing signs and blaring noise but it was for across the street
