Thursday : 29 September 05
Another good day in the valley.

Work was good. I mentioned something to my team lead today about a project that I am working on; he hadn’t considered the option that I presented. He did a little checking… and found out that I was correct.

After work, I picked up and we, along with started Round Two of “The Great Living Room Painting Project.” We taped off the sections of the walls that were to be painted. We got the paint, rollers and brushes. And we got down to brass tacks. The wainscot is now done – I think that we were finished, some minor touch-ups aside, in under two hours. We still need to get baseboard and either a chair rail or a paper border… but the painting is done. Selah.

  • It sounds like one of the most unusual – and far-fetched – musical pairings EVER: The Beach Boys and The Fat Boys. But it happened in 1987; they recorded a version of Wipeout together. It was on a CD of random mp3s in the car. I was grooving to it while driving tonight. (I even remembered parts from the song’s video.)
