I'm Living In A Shamrock

Oscar: �So, where should I go?�
Eibisch: �Like I have a stake in the decision?�
Oscar: �You said you�d come visit me!�
Eibisch: �In that case, I�m good anywhere. Except maybe the Gaza Strip.�
Oscar: �Bullets, mortars, bombers. Yeah, you may not agree well with urban warfare.�
Eibisch: �Which is why I don�t live in Los Angeles.�

Spent the weekend tearing down wall paper and painting. The foyer is now a white, paper color because we have to steam off the wallpaper backing and it will be painted a dark forest green. The living room has gone from a heavy pink-tan color to a light, cheery pale mint color. It is very pretty and just makes the room look fresh. We�re almost done repainting the basement.

Our basement is huge. The walls have that fake brick molding on it and the previous owners had painted them tan with a royal blue over it. It was awfully dark and looked dingy. So we painted it white, with a light green over it.

You might think my mom likes the color green. You would be wrong. I don�t know why she is on a green kick.

When we get the rooms put back together, I will post before and after photos in the �photos� section (above, left).

I really enjoy all this home design/remodeling stuff.

We�re doing the kitchen/dining room next. After we get a new stove (electric, to replace the gas one that doesn�t regulate properly) and new countertops, Mom wants to paint the walls a light yellow. I am still not sure how that will look with the green but, really, it can�t be any worse than the flower print/plaid wallpaper scheme currently going on in there. And, of course, that is why I do the manual labor. The grunt work. Because I have no vision.

Also because I wanted to paint the kitchen red and Mom threatened to commit me. I�m lobbying for hardwood floors, too. Mom says they are too much upkeep. But I figure I�m lazy as all get out and, if I don�t mind the work then she shouldn�t, either. I did not share this point of view with her as I value my life. Pathetic as it may be.

I sort of applied at a radio station. They are running a contest for a new dj and I entered my little 60-second mp3. I don�t really think I have a voice for radio--I sound about 12. Gah. I look like a kid, I sound like a kid ... no wonder I hardly date. Looking like jailbait is probably not much of a turn on.

Well ... not for the kind of guys I�m interested in, anyway.

It would be cool if I won, though they�d probably fire me after a few days for insubordination or something.

Request line: �Would you play Outkast?�
Eibisch: �No.�
Request line: �Would you play Nelly?�

Ah, but I could play all the Elvis remixes! The power!
