what's next

The guest bedroom rocks! It has piles of pillows and like 3 of them are these soft down ones. Picasso is enjoying the company of Gidget. He is quite the social cat. I think He just needs a change of environment to spice up his life everyone once in a while. Keep him on his toes.

I started painting my room today. I love big daunting projects that seem way to big for one person to do, because when there done its awesome! Plus a little distraction from the present is refreshing. So it's a bigger project than I thought. The Dreamsicle Pink on the walls now is actually high gloss, so it won't ever come off and is washable. Therefore.. a primer is needed or else the new paint won't stick. So says the Home Depot paint specialist. Hey well turns out my dad has a big bucket of primer looking stuff sitting in the middle of the backyard... I guess I can't be too mad at him for letting all the air out of my car tires at 2 in the morning... free primer. Painting is hard work! It took me like 3 hours just to get the walls primed! Tomorrow its Torquoise and Lily pad pink. It was hard not to pick the bright loud versions of these colors, I got the cooler more soothing versions of them. I am excited.

I love my Chinese call. Its this family of pleasant nodders. There always a little rushed and attention deficit, but still listen and nod politely. Untill Mahgee gets out, the little white dog with no eyes visible eyes that is, then they just start shouting at the poor little dog who just wants to play, but the shouting is in Chinese so its all good. Everytime the same thing. Mahgee gets out. they scream. it doesn't come. 5 minutes later the Mahgee gets picked up by its leg and dragged back in. Someday maybe they too will see this cycle of events that proceed our conversations and realize that the dog never listens.

Satan has made the world such a scary place. Its hard to understand why some choose to be part of it. We all deal with problems so differently, but hiding from them is the strangest way to cope. No matter what all things will be revealed; what's the point of buying time out from reality. Why hide? Its such a weak and malleable thing to do.

I love Andrew Bird. He has some really sleepy songs, but the violin is so pretty. I like the Soldier On album best.
