I crept home at 4:30AM this morning and for some pitiful reason was up at 7:30 walking the Bean. My neighbor T was working on his truck. He always takes his guitar over to the Fairgrinds and plays in the afternoon, but Friday night I saw him over there with a fiddle – and he sounded terrific. This morning he said thanks for organizing the bridge on Katrina’s anniversary and I said, you didn’t stay…
For me to stay here I got to be me. You’ll never be in doubt. ….. I spoke to D last night at L’s house because he’s a contractor he told me what to do with the whole rubber roof terrace floor decking issue. He said do the torch down but have someone very experienced do it because it can burn down your house (Twickler), then glue the sleepers to the rubber mat going parallel…
The addition to the LaLa is a screen porch with a balcony or terrace on top. The screen porch is almost like a room – not having treated wood columns but actually wall panels that have cypress siding etc. Bud told Steve and me to order this composite decking material that is waterproof because it has tongue and groove and you can run a bead of silica in between. The manufacturer says it is not…
In Little Miss Sunshine – Alan Arkin says “a loser is someone who fears he might not succeed so he never tries.” How appropriate.
R showed up this morning and put the two new windows into the master bathroom – Loewen wood awning windows with screens. Perfect. I can’t tell you the mental masturbation that has gone into replacing the windows – good lord. Meanwhile, I went over to the LaLa to meet R early and then spent my time cleaning up the whole place. Midmorning, T came by and looked around – I forget how tall he is…
AA called last night as I was lying in bed and said she had gone on a date with L, who I met at the Hoe Down, when I was there. I asked her how it went and she said, eh. I told her I had this giant realization today – I love being single. I also went over some recent episodes where A was having trouble getting away from D and another friend was…
G and I snuck to the porch for a little bit of girltime – I don’t know what, but I had to leave – I had enough chit chat -I KNOW – HARD TO BELIEVE – J and I came to a good understanding on the phone after our spat yesterday about gender pay – and I don’t know – K called to say he is making a collage and could I give him some…
We passed a good time, yeah – the ziti was the best even though I tripled what I normally cook. T came and in his own complicated way complicated me, and then A was there with C, like the perfume, L was there but he only had one hour of sleep after having sex most of the night with his new squeeze, and G was trying to figure out B, and you know what –…
I saw Nick today, he was under all the garbage that Joe was putting in the back of Big Blue – Joe wanted to kill him, but I couldn’t do it, he’s a living creature. I kind of wanted to kill him too. He’s a rat after all. But the better part of me didn’t.
The terrace off of my office is a big mind fuck – it needs to be waterproofed and Bud said that his stuff was waterproof, but the manufacturer doesn’t guarantee it as waterproof so now K says he could put a rubber mat and/or Twickler can put a torch down (kind of like a roof) and then the deck on top – but the deck will free float and so there is the idea of…
