Ever felt like you just have to hear the Barbi twins whisper sweet nothings in your ears? Or wanted to tell Q to cut Picard some slack? If the answer is yes, run over to Hollywoodiscalling where for a mere $20 the C or D-list star of your choice will call whoever you want and tell him your message. I was a bit sad to see John de Lancie on the “available celebrities” list (or astronaut Rick Searfoss, for that matter) but they know best what brings home the bacon so.. I might as well have mr. Lamas call my mom to thank her for liking him in Renegade.

Most of you probably know about Will Wheaton’s weblog (you know, the kid from Star Trek). But how many of you knew MC Hammer has a weblog? On our very own Blogspot?

..to finishing the kitchen, that is. The second layer of paint is drying, we only have to put on the finishing touches. I have paint on my hands, my glasses, my hair, my forearms and the back of my neck, and my scalp is itching from the hours it spent under the hat. I’ll post some pics of the various phases the kitchen went through this weekend later, until then here are some shots done in the last two days.
Here you can see miss T, thinking about new ways to get into the kitchen and snatch some paint without being spotted and thrown out by her pesky parents.
deciding the best way would be to lead them away from the main interest zone and distract their attention, she pretends she wants to see her grandma’s chicken ..
and smiles satisfied finally seeing her parents out of the house and distracted by the flowers of granny’s garden, which they, as usually, feel the urge to photograph:

I know you’re just dying to know what else happened to my kitchen. Wait, wait , don’t run away! I promise I’ll be finished with the updates on it tomorrow (or on Sunday) and then we’re back to our usual nutjobs, poopy potties and existential ramblings.
I spent my morning (my free morning since today is World Health Day or something like that so nobody from the hospital except the ER part goes to work) putting diluted glue (Aracet in ro) on the walls. I forgot to open the window so I’m a wee bit high. Lots of pretty colors, heh.

The kitchen redecorating saga is far from being over. I sweettalked Claudiu, a co-worker from the boiler room to lend us his angle grinder. Why, you ask? Because I felt the need to get rid of the pipes that were used for our old heating sistem. So the pipes had to be cut.
What I didn’t know when I asked for the aforementioned angle grinder - which by the way looks like this - is that it’s a mean machine. The noise could wake a comatose turtle in the neighbouring county and make it run for cover. The sparks fly around it like a swarm of angry fireflies. If you make a mistake, you find three of your fingers splattered on the window in half a second. Mean, I tell you. So Robi cut two pipes with it, making miss T cry and me put the music on REAL LOUD and gave up because his arms went numb and his eardrums went on strike. Not to mention that the plastic foil we put on the furniture was really looking forward to catch fire from the sparks. So he instead resorted to fill the cracks in the walls with quick-dry putty - an activity that looked a lot less sexy than the previous one. Sigh.
In completely other news, I started making a big gobelin tapestry for Timi’s room. 100 stitches/square cm. Go me.

..we’re painting the kitchen too. And changing the sink by ourselves, after which we plan to put new tiles, all this while we don’t have a nanny for miss T in the afternoon. Who said we were sane?
