We've been on the hunt for a new house so I stripped the walls of all of our framed prints, wrapped them up and put them in storage to have our house photographed and whatnot before it goes on the market. A couple of nights ago my 6-yr old is upset as he's going to bed because he doesn't have anything to look at in his room as all of his posters are gone. After digging a bit deeper it turns out he thinks they're gone forever, Mom had to assure him that all of his posters are coming back. That's my boy. A chip off the ol' block, I've been having trouble getting to sleep as well with all of these black walls...

Throw up some cheap lithos!

Ps hearing a politician squirm on the radio. Dude said that letting in 75k immigrants per year is too much for NZ and that 20-25k is more reasonable. When asked whether he was ok with cutting off 50k immigrants this year he got pissy, saying- I never said that; that is a construct! Radio announcer said- it's more like simple math, mate. Dude continued to evade saying he didn't say 50k; he said tens of thousands.

I laughed.
just a foil for me today, thanks

Wasn't free. Bought something, apparently; must have been drunk because I was sure I passed. Later had some regrets and thought I should have bought. Yesterday the print shows up. I checked the PayPal history and the purchase is there. Not sure wtf happened but it was a nice surprise regardless.

Apparently friends do let friends buy drunk...

Another clean bill of health at the dentist. Still pissed at the dentist who gave me my first (and only) cavity 6 years ago.

The dentist _gave_ you the cavity, or the dentist _found_ the cavity? >_>
So it goes...
