World’s Biggest Museum

Have you guys heard of this new Scott Pilgrim movie?…

I’m a fan of the Scott Pilgrim novels, and I’d been looking forward to the sixth book in the series finally coming out. I had been waiting and waiting, then the movie came out, and I still hadn’t heard when the last book was gonna appear. As it turns out, that’s because I am a moron and apparently don’t pay very good attention to anything. The last book came out in June. So last Thursday I went and bought it. Hooray! Then, because I can, I went and read it on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where I also caught some weirdo foreigner who, while posing for a picture, lost his balance and nearly fell off of one of the large marble steps around the side of said memorial. (How’s that for a sentence!?!?)

Anyhow, also because I can, I then went to another two three memorials and whatnot, a museum, and Macy’s! I bought an iced coffee and three new shirts!!! No pics of the shirts (yet), but, because I can, here are some lame photos of large buildings.

(I should point out that they were setting up the multiple stages and television screens andwhatnot for Glenn Beck’s respectful celebration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. That might be today or tomorrow, maybe. They’re gonna restore honor to something. Or something.)

New Kitchen Pics

“…and thusly did he complete the third and final kitchen.”

Totally! I just downloaded a wordpress app for my phone, so I’m gonna try to do some renovo-blogging en route to the airport. We will see how it works out.

So I started the basement kitchen on Tuesday, after spending far too much time at IKEA doing the design. In the end, I was really happy with the clean, crisp look IKEA offered, and I think I did a decent job making use of the smallish space. All the cabinets have cool rack things in them, and the end cabinet with the hidden corner has one of those cool lazy-susanesque pull outs. Anyhow, to the photos! I also added photos of some of the painting we did and the bar!
