Come one, come call, to the Carnival of the Mundane. There’s room for everyone no need to shove. We have stories of cannibalistic pets and post-modern absurdity. Of elevator etiquette and transcendence via fire hydrant. So please, stay awhile. Take a walk around and see the sights.

Great collection, Marisa, thanks!
I found your blog a couple days ago and started reading a lot of the entries. I used to have a blogspot journal filled with writings and I deleted it, but now, I’m back. I don’t have a lot of entries to show for but I just wanted to say that I love this whole journal of yours. I love your stories and they’re interesting. Also, in your “about me” page you mention something along the lines of how you just knew Philly was for you… I know exactly how you feel.
Wonderful idea for a post.
I’ll be back tonight when I have more time.
Also, love the name of the blog.

Thanks for including us! I’ll be sure to link you when I do all my posting later today (after my coffee

[...] Trying to clean out my e-mail boxes today, an endless task, every Saturday I try and run out of my 250 relays per day answering e-mail. Anyway, I’ve been sadly neglecting my linking, eeek! Carnival of the Mundane is up and wonderful as ever, including a post of ours! Audition time at Wendy’s! We had a BLAST last month auditioning (and being one of the winners) – meeting all sorts of new friends and cats – it’s only going on for 48 hours so go over there NOW and start auditioning! [...]
Great Carnival, Marisa!!!

[...] OK – the rest of you – if you’re inclined for a little potpourri of reality – try the latest Carnival Of the Mundane (XIX). Hosted by MOMMY PLAYS BASS (same site) – it’s a Whitman’s sampler of Seinfeldian proportions. I gave it a whirl last go round as Marisa was hosting. I had never heard of it before, but it sounded neat and whimsical and fun. So head on over, and give me a little of your kettle corn when you see me. Cat: [...]
[...] Tomorrow I’m hosting the Carnival of the Mundane. The last time I did this back last September was a hoot, and so I’m looking forward to it once more. If you have a blog post that’s particularly mundane, please feel free to send it my way for inclusion. [...]
