Ok, this song is amazing and the video gives me chills.

(morons don’t the get internet..they won’t let me embed, but I can link? WTF?)

Anyway, I was also having a conversation with my dad a day or two ago.

We were talking about the second amendment and all the one line constitution conservatives, and he was laying out depth and context of the common law background of the amendment itself, when he had a slight issue with attention span…

Paraphrased:

“So, if you look back at the english common law, there is precedent for BOTH interpretati…OOO, a HUMMINGBIRD! NEAT!”

I fell down laughing. Especially for anyone familiar with Ctrl-alt-del, xkcd, or 8-bit theatre (and surely other geek webcomics), it was too prefectly comicesque.

Also, it’s 3 am, and I’m feeling very mellow and sad because I’m packing.

Kind of like Janie’s Got a Gun.. ;-)

Seriously, though, this is gonna be sweet. GaiaGardener (as she has decided to name herself) has a lot of good ideas, and can totally use and contribute to the community of the web. :-)

Check it out, should be good stuff.

House again

So, we calculated out the amount of money it would cost to do the floors of the house ourselves, then got some estimates from handymen just for shits and giggles. When one of the handymen put in a proposal that was only a couple hundred more than I could DIY, I decided to go for it. So here is the partially sanded floors. Its getting pretty sweet.

Again, the pictures aren’t going to be too terribly shaped..I’m too damn lazy.

Library, initial sanding.
LIbrary, initial sanding
And, finally, the hall
Hallway, initial sanding
Also, Dad and I put up a “crescent curved” shower rod. Which is freaking awesome. You can’t see it from the pictures, but it means that you are not constantly brushing up against the curtain while you’re showering. Which is just nice. Plus it looks better.
Shower curtain is cool

So, thats what I’ve been up to.

Oh yeah. My Dad and I brewed some bee-ahz last night. Its a porter, so I’ve got high hopes for it. Its bubbling away quite merrily already. Mmmm, beer.

Working on da house

Posted in Family, House at 11:46 pm by qkslvrwolf

Right, so my parents came up from ye old mobile to help me with my house, and Candice keeps telling me I should post, so here we go. Today, we worked on getting the floor more done. Apprently, its bad to do a floor in sections if you’re refinishing it, so we decided to go ahead and take up the carpet in the library as well as the carpet in the front room. So, heres the front room, sorry for the inelegant posting of the pictures.
