m,

I have some sort of hardcore bug bite on my leg – possibly an ant bite? It itches like a motha. And is all swollen. The mosquitoes are vicious even in the face of bug spray, but their bites are small and more of a short-lived nuisance. This is no mosquito bite.

By the way, is anyone really surprised that Tiger Woods is getting a divorce, officially? Who caaaaaaaaares.

I’ve banned myself from realty window shopping until further notice. Or the notice, as the case may be. Because it’s so fruitless.

In the meantime, I’m looking at all the chair-rail trim in the kitchen, hallway and master and thinking that a prior genius painted them all in semi-gloss, and this does not please me. Because they’re all faded, yellowy off-white and need a touchup, but guess what. This will require sanding first. And I do not love sanding, in spite of the apparent lessons it contains, according to Mr. Miyagi.

Freaks & Geeks could not be any more entertaining. We’re making our way through the season haphazardly as they air, but the order doesn’t matter. It’s pure brilliance, pure sadness that it was canceled so soon.

More thunder, more rain. Where was all this when my garden and flowers were dying away?

I bought some extra Sculpey, but they (the Lame Craft Store) didn’t have the color set I wanted, so I was stuck with singles, and they are all wrong, wrong, wrong. Completely not the right palette, and so I’m going to have to go to the other craft store, the Better Craft Store, and make an additional purchase. And hopefully the wrong colors will eventually be used in some future project, perhaps by my Art Dept., who by the way “painted” the deck today with brooms and a big bucket of water. K.Lo’s idea. Love. 

Also: your thoughts on Project Runway?

peace out
