I'm starting to think I really should have stained the stuff yesterday while I was still motivated and actually interested in doing so. I'm now...not. I mean, I want to because I want the bookshelf and the natural wood colour doesn't really work with the cherry furniture in my room. I'm not really sure what I feel like doing but I'm fairly confident it doesn't involve staining large pieces of furniture.

[kicks self]

Do it anyway!

[meekly]

Yes, ma'am.

I'm thinking people are going to bore of the Great Staining Adventures rather quickly. Let's just say that I've procured the stain and am confused as to why everyone at work was supremely cranky and pissed off today. I chose not to ask about it because it would have led to me being there for at least another 45 minutes instead of the 20 I managed to keep it to.

It's this pretty Rosewood Zar stain which almost matches my furniture. Luckily I also like the imperfect look of staining so I'm being a rebel and not testing it on the different parts first. Look at me rebelling! Woo!

On another note. I have a turkey and cheese sandwich and iced coffee.

I rule!

I'm stinky and sweaty and uncomfortable and I have stain all over me. I'm a very messy painter. Naturally that would transfer over to staining. Blech. But. All the pieces are now stained on one side. About eight hours from now I can bring them inside for the night and finish the staining another day.

Of course, eight hours from now, I won't be here because tonight is...

BOWIE.

Whee!

[does a little dance]

I'm going to go shower and make myself clean so I can actually look halfway decent tonight when Paul and I get to partake in the new Bowie album (hopefully) goodness. Here's to hoping the man is actually there. [crosses fingers]

Okay. So the new Bowie album.


HORRIBLE.


That album was the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. I feel like I just wasted an hour of my life listening to Bowie be a bad parody of himself...badly. At least I know that I won't be spending any money on this album. Because I seriously doubt I'll be buying it. It just hurt to listen to. People got up and left. The only reason Paul and I stayed was because we were in the middle of a row. It just. Was SOO bad. I can seriously see bands like Backstreet or O-Town singing these songs just without the horrible synth-drum machine-sequencers along with it. And fuck. It would probably be better. The lyrics were so derivative and they sounded just like bad poetry.

I don't even know what to say anymore. Let me just quote a lyric from one of the songs. Note that this was the song people started to leave during. I actually turned to Paul and laughed because it was so bad.

"I took a trip on a Gemini starship and thought of you."

I think that pretty much sums up the album right there.

Edit: Oh yeah. I forgot to mention since we were in the IMAX theatre, they had pictures up on the screen. Huge 50 foot tall glamour shots of David Bowie that I swear were mocking us for even being there in the first place. Look! It's moody!Bowie. It's walking!Bowie. It's pensive!Bowie.

I feel like crap right now.

So to make myself feel better about the crappiness of Heathens, I'm drink red wine right from the bottle, watching the Reel Nsync, and making Dayse entertain me.

Oh look. JC's chugging Pixie Stix.

Oh, and drinking wine right from the bottle results in a weird, vaccuum-y sensation. I'm not sure I like it.
