My wife is an assistant curator. She has to assist the worst!

I hate when you sublet your wonderful, spacious, tidy apartment to some art curator creep for a month while you're out of town, and prep it with towels and linen, clear out space in the closets for the creep's clothes, provide helpful instructions about the apartment and the neighborhood, invite him to use anything he wants in the cupboards and fridge, explain how he use the DVD/TV, just generally act like the perfect host - and then have him complain about just about everything immediately upon arrival: the bed is not big enough (his girlfriend will apparently also stay there for a week), there's not enough space in the closet, why was he only given one set of keys, why haven't you stowed away every single thing you own so he doesn't have to rest his precious eyes on the THINGS YOU OWN IN YOUR APARTMENT.

Also, the guy is from New York, and is in my town to work on some low-budget art project. What kind of primadonna is this? What kind of castle does he live in in the City to have the balls to complain about my seriously fantastic abode? I'm this close to asking him to just get out.

halfway through i was *this close* to asking him to get out for you. 





p.s. so, is he kicked out yet?

He's not out. Yet anyway. Since my last message to the Swedish people who works with him I haven't heard a thing. The other day, they sent me a new email complaining about... my shoes, which I hadn't "stowed away properly". My reply went something like this: "Fine, go ahead and make a new set of keys, toss out the old bed and put in a new one, do whatever you need to keep him happy - as long as you put everything back the way they were before by the time I get back. But seriously, how much stuff does he actually have? Does he really think there's not enough room in the apartment? And isn't it enough that I stowe away my 'excess stuff' in a closet? Stowing it in the attic sounds like complete overkill."

Newsflash: someone is actually living in that apartment that you're renting for a mere four weeks.

Being tricked into thinking a word is a hyper-link when it's not.

WHAT?! Without curators, how is one to know what is good?! What do you suggest, that people "look at things for themselves"?

On that note (I know this has been covered before) using "curate" as a verb for everything. This musician has "curated" a line-up of performers. I'm waiting for it to get to "the cheese master has curated a wonderful plate for you".

Yeah. Just never use it at a restaurant called "Louisiana"

Because they're big jerks.

I've already been to the fancy pants Fred Siegel store in Hollywood where there was a "curated" grouping of CD's for sale; basically it was White People by Handsome Boy Modeling School and some shit by Cat Power.  Man, this would be a good moment for Laurie to chime in.
