Krissa and I did a whole monkeyload of DIY/Home Improvement over the weekend. We stripped the paint from our kitchen cabinet hinges and handles, painted gripper onto the cabinets and the doors themselves, and then repainted everything at least twice and tried to put it all back together again, remembering to make lots of stripper jokes when dabbing the custard-like goo all over the cabinet fixtures.
In the middle of all that we found time to go to a huge party in Brooklyn. Maybe because we'd been working on the kitchen all day, maybe because we both had the mental spectre of precariously balanced cabinet doors lining out corridors, drying and sticking to the regiment of old bedsheets we'd pressed into service, maybe because we just didn't want to go home to the stripper, but we stayed out until 5am.
It didn't help that the clocks went forward while we were out, but hey.
OH.
I got promoted at work.
Which is great news. I'll soon be back to working at a professional level, rather than in a support role. I did that whole degree thing, you know, so it's nice.
Tonight is The Best Of Cringe, in Freddy's Bar and Backroom in Brooklyn.
Seeing as its a 'Best Of' (don't ask me) I'm re-reading the 'attaining' entry, with the added bonus of a huge goofy picture of yours truly at the time as a backdrop.
Seeing as Cringe made the front cover of Metro today, I'd say it could get busy...so get there early.
Congrats on the promotion! And I hope that your finger is all betterly now.
That's great news about your promotion! Congrats.
Oooh, congratulations sir!
(on the kitchen cabinet hinges, obviously)
Congrats indeed.
Although I marvel at your bravery, tackling DIY after the dangerous gash you gave yourself... brave or foolish...
I never bother pressing old bedsheets, m'self...
But well done with the vertical motion vis the old slippery pole thingy!
Wah hay on the promo mate. You deserve it. I mean you are like a real engineer and all. Glad they recognised the value we all knew as fact.
Hey, you didn't tell me about the promotion. That's awesome news!
Congratulations on the promotion :)
