same-old brand-new
May 1, 2008
my room is finally up and running, after 5 days of..
- cleaning everything of it’s aged dust
- moving everything out
- covering most surfaces with masking tape and newspaper
- painting
- cleaning everything up again + vacuuming surfaces
- moving everything back in
..with inclusion of
- swearing
- grunting
- sneezing
- scratching
- bucket-loads of perspiration
this was the tornado-strickened sty..
..and then the brand-new abode
The paint-work came out better than expected, though i got a little lazy at the end and didnt apply enough coatings on certain areas. I kinda regretted not taking photos of the “in-process”. This should be quite the last time i’m doing this.. either all the things they say about getting old is happening to me, or i forgot how brutally tiring it is to revamp a room.
Summer class has started. My prof is like an anthony bourdain double – speech wise. Mostly unforgiving honesty, dark-humoured, and he’s sarcastic as hell; but he makes class interesting and he absolutely cracks me up.
p.s. I hate to be cooped at home, rushing to meet assignment deadline, on such a gloriously sunny day.
