Gotta catch this...

This is what I love about painting...painting a room with faux finish techniques. ( admissions of a color junkie )

Chilling...

I clicked on this Netscape headline during lunch and damnear got indigestion:

http://politics.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/08/06/the-ten-most-harmful-books-of-the-19th-and-20th-century/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.humanevents.com%2Farticle.php%3Fid%3D7591&frame=true

Turns out it's on this site called 'Online Human Events' published by the 'National Conservative Weekly'. Makes for some intersting reading. But I am gonna do my usual "shake my head, ignore the scary and put my energy where it'll actually do some good."

::shakes head::

Guess we shouldn't read anything that might inform us about other ways of thinking, believing or acting even if we don't subscribe to those ideas, huh? Gosh, we might learn something or develop analytical skills or personal discernment or something.

Some of these I've read, some of them I haven't. Wish I'd read all of them.

Ok, that's my, what, second political post ever? Done. Now I'm going back to painting and put on some music for mental floss...want my good mood back.

Well, it's done.

The bathroom painting job is done. It is mah-valous, dahling. joegoda is a brilliant man. He suggested (read my mind, actually) adding a touch of red, burgundy actually. Just a hint and I LOVE IT. *sigh* Now it makes the walls in here and in the hallway dead boring. No, not right now; 6 other things in front of that. But I wanna.

Bits 'o other news: James Wallis (146 miles without a map; Winchester to Canterbury, the pilgrim’s way) has finished his walk although not, I suspect, his fund-raising for Cancer research through "Cancerbackup". It was amazing reading his blog throughout this process. Go here: http://www.magnumopuspress.com/blog/ Lots of neat stuff, amusing and a real glimpse into this man's heart and wit. And only one typo/wrong word: 'then' when it should've been 'than' but considering his blisters and his sore ankle, I can't be too critical. Bravo!

And I think I'm getting a cold. Bugger. Right when we're finishing recording and the party is this weekend and I have bullionsandbullions of things to do. Bugger! I say it again.

*sigh* I haven't a clue as to what to do for dinner. Nell-kitty just crapped hershey-squirts right in front of the door again but I spoze that's better than the hallway rug in the middle of the night when I'm coming out barefooted. Always think positively, right?

Ok, I think I'm done posting for the day.
