Paint and Sandpaper and AGONY

[c9]

I wish that swearing in livejournal actually helped. Putting a really big swear word like this

REALLY BIG SWEAR WORD

should really have more of a calming effect. I'm trying to sand the bumps in the kitchen so we can do our final touch ups and actually be done, but the goddamned motherfucking piece of shit walls keep peeling. I was told our paint was peeling that way last time due to a lack of primer. So this time we primed, twice, the whole fucking room. Did it help? No. I really hate this sort of shit. The primary issue is that I don't have any patience for this, so when I see 3 cm worth of progress after 1 m worth of sanding, I get pissed off and stop being careful, and then it just gets worse.

I'm so tempted to just call a painter in to fix it, but after the plumbing fiasco I know it will be some insane number of dollars, and we can't even afford a sane number of dollars, really. There's something to be said for renting, where you only care just the bare minimum about the place.

I'm going to finish my Lime Pepsi (mmmmmmm) and then finish the toe-kicks. At least those require no sanding nor any paint, so I can successfully complete them without fucking up too horribly. My specialty. :)

I know I'm being too down, this is just a venting, worry not.

Umm... serious friends as opposed to... silly friends, or something like that?

Why don't I remember the hot kilt boy icon? :-/

I think the hot kilt boy was pre-Kitchener, and I guess pre-knowing-Dave too. I'll have to see if I can find him.

Why ever would people get upset from a hot guy in a kilt in your journal? Am I missing something?

Here he is! If you look closely, you may find yourself believing that it's the MacLeod tartan:


(not upset, but rather unable to view their friends page in a formal business setting, due to the regular appearance of a shirtless boy)
