It's going to be one of those days where I'm just counting down the clock.
Vinegar House
So on Monday we did a good thing. Teflon's personal trainer Chris was closing on his 1st house and had decided it had to be painted THAT NIGHT. So he put the call out to get help painting. We get there at 8:30PM and we're the only ones there besides him and his future in-laws.
The inlaws are busy re-cleaning the kitchen (I swear I watched them clean out the fridge 3 times).
One other friend of his shows up and we start taping. We get the living room done and it gets painted. We start taping the hallways when I find that the father in-law has already started painting on the surface that should not have been painted.
At some point I realize there's a language barrier, as only the friend can communicate with them in Vietnamise. So, of course he leaves.
While taping the baseboards in the foyer, the mother in-law sits on a chair and is just staring at me & Teflon. Knowing I have on my loosest pants and that I'm already bent over, I procede to show her my best "plumber's smile", while whispering to Teflon "cheese" and giggling uncontrolably.
So the in-laws go upstairs to rest after not doing anything and it's just the 3 of us taping before the painting can start.
Meanwhile in the basement is a 50 gallon wooden cask filled with vinegar. The previous owner's son is down there alone emptying it. At some point he shouts "shit!" and there's this huge crash. So I do what is expected in a situation like that, I start laughing. Turns out he's using a 2 gallon glass jar to transfer the vinegar into a 10 gallon glass jar and he's just broken the 10 gallon glass jar, getting @ 8 gallons of vinegar on the floor. And no mop. I'll post pictures.
We left at 12:30 and had only finished taping the house, whereas Chris had decided to keep going. It was Monday night, what did he expect?

I got a new digital camera! It's a Fujifilm Finepix A205, it was $79.99 and I like it.
When I was setting it up, the xD card fell into the cuff of my pants, so I had called the store and done some bitching, but then my cuff rolled and there it was on my livingroom floor. Oops.
There's a rummage sale on Saturday, hopefully I can find the chair I'm looking for for my computer desk.
The lease on this domain space is ending in a few days. The 50% off deal isn't ever going to happen again, so after some long and hard soul searching I have decided to keep it going for another year. I got a deal for 25% off and a free extra month.
Got a text message from Diane in Vegas saying Kish quit, so she is no longer sewing costumes for professional wrestlers and that the summer camp job she had lined up fell through.
Eric's around, but in "girl" mode, so I don't hear from him as much. I better read his screenplay (link earlier this month) this weekend.
The coffee place down the street got wireless access and it's free, but I've only been there to play Magic Cards, so I didn't test it out yet.
I'm planning on taking Friday off, as it'll be the only break I can get until after May 20-something-th as I'll be on 6 day work weeks whilst my co-worker is off. I think I'll get a haircut and try and do the mash-up contest from David Bowie.com. I have some good source material, as Frankie (Groovy Mann of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult) is a big Bowie fan and gave my boss a ton of mix tapes of rare live Bowie, which I have inherited (along with some rare as shit TTK & side project stuff). Definately in my remix title will be a Frankie mention. If I get on for voting I will for sure put a link here, so you, my dear readers, can help me out.

"Chris Knight" kiss your stolen serial number goodbye. Native Instruments comes through. The software is mine! Now I gotta save up $199 to get the upgrade to 4.
