I'm halfway through the last episode of S3, and I swear, I must not have watched the last few episodes in real time. None of this seems familiar, and I'm also completely bummed that it's going to be over in 20 minutes.

Hah--I'm only halfway through Season 2, but a lot of this is definitely "whoa, I totally forgot that happened!!"

I definitely didn't see the end of S3 in real time. I'm so sad now. And I really hope we get a hint of what Rob Thomas had planned to end the season, since it got cut off two episodes early. Stupid CW.

I am so pumped for this movie.

Bailed on dinner. Got there, it was mobbed, wait was going to be an hour. Idea of waiting an hour at the already packed bar basically put me at defcon 2. So I made my apologies and went to Home Despot. No crowds.

I would've loved to spend time with my friends, but not under those circumstances.

It's annoying, but I know my limits.

But now I have 5' of pine to saw into bits to make stain samples and another tin of stain to try. I think Lowes tomorrow.

I must say, I think Weevil looked way hotter with his mustache--suddenly in these eps he doesn't have one, and it's disappointing.

(lisah, believe Emily works with you.) I was surprised to see the sign go up, must get the scuttlebutt.

She does! I'll have to find out why they're moving. Their bathroom has a lot of the elements we are planning for our bathroom that we're redoing--the floor and the subway tile with black capper anyway. It's current look, that it's had since I bought the place, is redone in the 70s probably. There's horrible drop ceiling and some kind of vinyl wall covering. We're ripping everything out and making it bigger by building into the light shaft. By "we" I mean my friend the contractor. "We" are not nearly that DIY-capable. Tomorrow he and Bob are going to the reclaimed building materials place to, we hope, get a clawfoot tub that we will have reglazed and painted. Good times!

Anyone want to go sofa shopping for me? I got my tax refund and am feeling flush. My problem is, I like the midcentury look like this or this, but I feel like it wouldn't be that comfortable to sit on? Can anyone tell me different?

I'm horrible at sofa shopping. Even when I can test them out and try to predict long term comfort. I'm 0-2. My current couch, which is actually comfy, is a hand me down from some friends.

In other news...Fernet.

Emily said it is basically to be closer to aging family.

Let me know what you find out about reglazing. I still need to get my purple sink reglazed/patched and out of the front room. And I still want it purple! I think I need to do the tub as well, enough of the top finish is gone, I worry (and scrub a lot to remove stains that like to gather in the more porous parts.)

Ben-formerly-of-next-door got a sweet deal on a clawfoot from...I think Second Chances? It's a beauty. I don't know if he had to refinish it or not, I assume so.

It seems really hard! Eh, I'm in no rush, I guess.
