i have decided that the guest room needs painting. originally i was going to paint a tree on each wall and have a different season shown in each tree. and perhaps i will still do that, but for now i'm going to paint the ceiling a nice stormy blue with all the constellations painted on it. i'm having some troubles finding a good star map. one that's legible for instance. and that actually has most of the constellations on it. which would also be nice. i've put about 25 books from the library on hold which should help the situation.

i sat on my garage roof today and thought. i thought about lots of things, but thought of nothing at all, all at the same time.

i have become addicted to cheese it would seem. not real cheese though. the kraft singles. the lovely ones all wrapped in plastic. really quite good.

my stairs are still green. i think we'll just have to replace the carpet entirely. i doubt we'll find any that's mustard yellow though. which means we shall either have all new carpet (which would be very nice indeed) or mismatched stairs. or i suppose we could just take the carpet off them since they're hardwood underneath. at least, the bottom ones are, but they've never had carpet on them so i suppose the rest may not be. at any rate, our stairs are still green and the entire area smells of fantastik or whatever cleaner my mother has douced them in.

hali is watching a movie. called "The Joy, Luck Club" or something to that extent. and there's a lot of yelling in it and so i'm sitting here at the computer and i hear them start and then, of course, i have to go and see what on earth all the kefuffle is about. and so i really have no idea whatsoever what's going on. i'll have to actually watch it one day and perhaps then i'll understand what the heck is going on. the problem with it is that it's all about chinese people, and since i haven't actually been watching it i can't keep any of the characters straight because once they change outfits you have no idea who is who anymore. very tricky these involved movies.
