Avoiding The Blogs.
–Because it seems there’s just too much butthurt going on—and I get my fix of watching that crap at Fandom Wank.
Workish: I found an editor for Lost Along the Way. The book should still be out this summer, as planned. Supposed to see the Polish version of Only Words on Monday. If it’s massively bad, I will blog about it–if not, you likely wont here from me until the end of the week. (^_-). I met my production deadline for Steve; [barely—I think the work I turned in is rather shabby—I’ll likely pay for this after the holiday] and had the afternoon free.
Pics, under cut.
I decided, rather than sit on the web and fight the urge to comment in certain shit-storms, to fix the bathroom at the Leander address. I looked at the pics I posted before, when I posted my cat in the bathtub, and realized just how shitty this bathroom is. It’s used only by me [like this house] and there’s no excuse that it shouldn’t look cool, right? So I went to Lowe’s and snagged some paint, new bath and sink fixtures, and some new lights. I figured it would keep me busy until Mr. Gynocrat came to collect me for dinner. (^_^)

It’s called Croissant…

I got these babies, 2 for $80!
Normally, they’re $58 a box.
I had to take down the mirrors, get rid of all the plants, and tape the molding and baseboards. Shockingly, this chore took up more time than actually painting. The lights took a bit more time, only because the builders decided to use these friggen enormous molly-bolts, which effectively left gaping holes in my wall. (>_<

Hello, new amazing lovely wall lights.

Adios, you crappy 80’s prefab
came-with-the-house lights!

I had to patch up two massive holes–ugh!
As you can see, no amount of spackle or paint can make that shit disappear. The other thing that elongated the process was my son’s fit of giggles, whenever I asked for the wire-nuts. (>.>

Wirenuts. As you can see, there’s nothing funny here.
I put the pics back and marveled at my uber new lights and wall color!

Mr. Gynocrat, cleaning the tub.
Cuz, I can cook and fix stuff and build stuff-
-but I ain’t down with cleaning stuff…

Next weekend, I’ll tackle the bathroom fixtures…
It’s 6 now, time for food.
