Nilly, I thought of you while paying bills yesterday! My total for the two bills I was paying came to $77.77. I thought, Nilly would love that!
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

What is even happening?
We have framed prints still in a pile in the spare room, because they don't seem to have a place in this house, they way they did in the last house. Ditto mirrors.

I bring you Bad Album Cover Art: [link] There are a couple of dozen. I'm still deciding my favorite. I was disappointed by the Village People one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jessica, was that where this column was?
Yup.
I in particular loathe the "Here is my smug little upper-middle-class life, but it's a universal experience! Really! I have just experienced something PROFOUND about love/death/parenthood! Really UNIQUE AND PROFOUND! Where's my Cosmo?" genre.
That's it exactly.

I always hang art on the wall before doing any other decorating. I'm not sure this is a perfect test, unless there's something about me that I don't know.
Yes, but I've checked, and you aren't a guy.
In my completely accurate and professional study, 50% of women will hang the art last, if ever, and no single man will ever hang art as the first thing unless he's gay. (But not all gay men hang the art first).
I in particular loathe the "Here is my smug little upper-middle-class life, but it's a universal experience!
Is this better or worse than "smug little upper-middle-class lives are so shallow " works, like American Beauty and Fight Club?

How? I mean, I have a pile of pictures lying on my floor because I haven't decided where the larger pieces of furniture are going to go.
I do decide where major pieces of furniture go, but to a certain extent, I'm arranging the furniture around the art rather than the other way around. It's just that I don't feel moved in until the pictures are up. I can go without curtains being up or accessories being arranged for a long time. I have a pile of pictures that aren't up, but that's because I've run out of walls, unless I move to hanging things salon style. It may come to that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Another reason the pictures aren't up is that I need to repaint, and I don't see any point putting them up if I have to take them back down again.

I'm with Ginger. The art goes first, everything else is arranged around the art.

I have no idea when the art goes up. Everything needs to find its place pretty quickly, or I feel antsy. And last move, I didn't have much so it has been pretty much placed/hung as acquired.
Of course, I still have about 4 pieces I need to get framed and out of their dust jackets and onto the walls. One is a korean painting/watercolor/calligraphy thing that I've had for 3 years, but I have to have that done professionally by the artpreserver types. It is nearly as old as I am.
I have pine sap residue on my hands. I got enough off that I'm not picking up lint, but it is SO ANNOYING. Stupid pine trees, dripping on my car.
