irony? or alanis-y

yesterday was a busy travel day. coming back from nyc to boston using a couple subway sytems and a greyhound i noticed a couple funny things. perhaps they are ironic, or perhaps they are just that type of thing which alanis m tried to say were ironic but were actually just ridiculous in her song many years ago . . .

item #1 - a milk truck from garelick farms with the tag "think natural, buy local" on the side. nice slogan i thought, until i saw the license plate was from indiana. we were on the freeway in massachusetts. nice one.

item #2 - on the subway in boston there was one of those ad placards above the end seat on the T. the ad was for one of the medical studies, and this one was for people who might have ADHD. sitting in the seat directly below this sign was a lady in her 50's i'd guess (with the worst hair dye job ever, but that's another (mean) story). anyway, from park street to davis she never STOPPED MOVING. opening her bag, closing her bag, opening her purse, closing her purse, shifting around, messing with her nails (but that's another (DISGUSTING) story), opening her purse, closing her purse, etc. i sometimes wonder if that is part of the ad campaign. i almost wanted to get some of those anti-ADHD drugs so i could stand to watch her . . .
