Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have to use the camera to see the places that still need work. I literally can't get my head up there, so will have to work blind.
Get a Super-Soaker and fill it with paint stripper?

Because books.
Matt's AWESOME. Walking through the Arts and Crafts exhibit with him in SF was fascinating, because he knew so much about the wood in all the furniture, and the craftsmanship. I learned so much that day.

Hah! Actually, the stripper I use is thicker than paint, almost gel-like. And I can get it up there, just can't get much leverage to get it out. To scrape the back of the spindles, I fit hands on either side of the spindle (vertically, not wide enough to turn my wrists,) hold the scraper with two hands almost parallel to the spindle and push up. I predict wrist pain tomorrow. And fingers.
Matt suggested rope, which is on the list for the weekend. I'm already using a damp rag for the banister, but I can't get it down there.
Now know why that section of banister had just the original varnish, no paint. It was probably varnished before it was installed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
As I was just now sitting in mac's room waiting for him to fall asleep, I was falling asleep and I kinda woke up with 2 names in my head: Sinclair Beauregard and Walter Montgomery, both with my last name. Maybe they're the names for our future dogs. no clue, just weird.
And now for me, bed. Since the cats keep waking me up between 4:30 and 5 and I am going to try to get to sleep now and just get up for good at that hour, see how that works.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, I would love a Bancomat! It's like an Automat, only they push money through the little slots at you!

Bancomat is far superior to the automat and certainly better than a laundromat.

Skipping like a crazy person to ask Kat a question. I think you posted a link a couple of Halloweens ago to a site that sold awesome, reasonably priced baby/toddler costumes. If it was you, do you remember the link?

I find Automats fascinating, hough I've never eaten at one. I couldn't tell you why - vending machines are not so alluring and it's basically the same idea. I do like the ones with spinny things behind little doors.

Hmm... well, GC, I think it was when Babystyle was going out of business. They had adorable costumes. One Step Ahead has adorable costumes but probably not reasonably priced: [link] What is S going as? I can look around to see if I see anything.
