Hello world!
Is it possible that a guy who knows so little about PHP and SQL can create a website such as this from scratch? Apparently it is. It looks rather generically wordpress right now, but I hope to jazz it up a tad, perhaps add some photos, and change the colors.
Music finally gave up on me and went to bed. She’d been laying on the couch snoozing since 10 or so. Apparently her friend Evan (of Disney fame) went to the Los Lobos show tonight and wants to crash on our couch. Music is thawing bacon for breakfast, and I’m tending the laundry.
As a new blog, you’re picking up on things from the middle. While the blog DID just start, my life didn’t, so you’re going to have to either assume what led to this point on the following stories, or ask.
The bathroom cabinet refinishing project is going well. Music has been especially tolerant in my sudden decision to strip all of the paint off of our ragged bathroom cabinet (which was probably constucted in the 20’s — can you imagine how many layers of paint there were?) and stain and poly over it. It’s stripped and rough sanded, just needs fine sanded and stained (tomorrow), and polyurethaned (on Sunday), so we’ll be able to stop using the kitchen table as a bathroom counter by Monday morning.
The down side is that buying a gallon of stripper has piqued my curiosity on what else around the house would look good sans paint. I’m making little quarter sized holes on various doors and trim, peering through generations of ugly colors to see what lies below them. It does make me nostalgic in a way, seeing what the design sense of other bachelors was like. But mostly it’s just a pain in my ass.

For the record, Mike’s “little quarter sized holes” are more like silver dollar sized holes. Nonetheless, the house is going to look great when he’s done, and I’m happy to 1) be tolerant of his hole-making and 2) not have to do a lot of manual labor!

I could create a website with my eyes closed.

[...] February 2006, life was pretty boring. Mike was doing some work on the house we were renting, we took a trip to L.A., we watched “Grizzly Man,” and got [...]
