This will be my last entry until the move is over. The computer is being packed away this afternoon. I’m really bleery this morning, no coffee so I’m going to have to be bad and buy it at Dejavu Coffee House next to my work. Last night Josh painted over this terrific bright green wall in our living room. The wall was painted green by Josh while I was visiting my parents…I came home and it was green. This was at the time I was doing all this research on home decorating, interior design, color analysis, etc. According to my knowledge the green wall was an extremely bold choice. This was concurrent with Josh painting one wall in the kitchen dark, ketchup, red. I managed to talk him into painting over it because the dark color figuratively shrunk the kitchen to the size of a closet.
I asked permission from our landlord to paint over the heinous wood paneling covering an entire wall in our new living room. We’ve done the wood paneling once before and I’m DONE with it…never again, it’s really such an awful former trend, and I’m sure painting over it will be a nightmare, but I don’t care.
Last night we took a break and went to the drive-in. We watched Bourne Supremacy but it was seriously ruined for me because: 1. Josh’s truck has to sit in the back row, causing serious vision strain. 2. Dark screen does not do well with dark sky behind the screen. It was difficult to see what was going on during a lot of the great chase scenes because they were at night or in dark rooms. 3. High School Party Car parked next to us. I could hear the movie’s potential (well, and the 16 yr old party going on next door), I just couldn’t see the movie all that well.
