The Museum Of Personal Failure

0:03 Caalaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. No good news if you think you know it's not going so well for yourself. In Vancouver, they opened up the Museum of Personal Failure. It was a pop up exhibition at the King'sgate Mall. Evan put the thing together, He told the CBC the idea emerged after his romantic relationship ended and he said I needed to do something with it, and this is what I did. He invited people to participate. He posted flyers across the area with a message failures wanted oh. When he got a response, they filled the temporary museum with deeply personal objects, each paired with a written explanation for the owner. Evan told Vancouver is awesome for me. It's a combination of catharsis and concept exploration. What it's become is an anthropological look at what constitutes failure to an individual and what that looks like in material form. One of the exhibits was the Wall of reject with job application rejections and termination notices. Others included failed relationship notes, broken auto parts from an unsuccessful car repair, and a record of unfinished failed songs. From a local music producer. Haven't said on their own you think this is just the thing, But with the context it's imbued with meeting, you're looking at a scrap from someone's life and hearing the story behind it.

1:22 Good news, we caught the parakeet and escaped. Parakeet was reunited with her owner after stopping off in a kindergarten classroom and landing on a little girl's head. The little girl was there at Saint Nol's Catholic school. In comes the parakeet, and the parakeet landed on one girl's head twice before being caught by the teacher. The parakeet was taken to the office. It turns out it was Snow. The parakeet. Officials road on social We've had so much fun spending time with Snow during her state at our school. From classroom visits to office hangouts. We loved every minute with her. We're definitely sad to see her go, but they were happy she's back with the family. Good news, your package has arrived. The bad news it's forty six years late. Yes, it's another one of those overdue library books, this one in San Diego. Cassie opened a package and discovered a copy of The Incredible Journey by Shila Burnford.

2:11 Cassie told the News I got to open it enjoy the old book smell, which was quite powerful in this particular item. They sent it back to the right branch, even though we're at a new address, so they clearly did some research to get it back to us. There was an unsigned note that said, sorry, this is so late. The book had been due back on May twentieth, nineteen eighty, so if you're waiting, it's back, but you're going to have to ask Cassie if you can read it. She said, it's not being returned to circulation, and explaining this will likely hang out on my shelf as a fundamental for a while. Congratulations to Harold and Francis. They are ninety one and ninety and they have renewed their wedding vows. Back in the fifties, they married quietly. They eloped no ceremony. Recently, they marked their seventieth wedding anniversary by finally walking down the aisle together. Francis told the News, after all these years, I still love him, I cherish him, and I appreciate all he's done for me over these years. The vows were read again. They said to haven't hold in sickness and in health, and both answered without hesitation, I do good news.
