nightdog_barksWell now. Thank you, DW, for telling me one of my icons didn't get imported. You even told me which one it was, so I could easily retrieve it from LJ and upload it here. Nice.
Cloudy and humid -- thunderstorms rolled through late yesterday afternoon, and then more thunder and rain early this morning. Lots of birds at the feeders -- Chango and I stepped out on the deck and were immediately scolded and fussed at by the titmice and chickadees. 75 degrees right now (23.9 Celsius).
Mr. N gets home from Kansas City tonight so must do housely things, so I'll be in and out of here off and on today, trying to figure things out. :-)

Date: 2010-09-02 05:29 pm (UTC)I need to check with Corgiguy and see if there's room in this week's budget for the carpet cleaner to come do his magic. Things are looking pretty dire downstairs and a good cleaning always improves it considerably. I decided we could live with the horrible carpet a few years longer in return for getting the Fit paid off ahead of time, but we'd like to have a hard floor put in before the critters reach the age of senile incontinence. :)

Date: 2010-09-02 05:34 pm (UTC)Your post is different here than over there! Amazing! *g*
I'm done with class, and feeling rather fried-in-the-head, but I've got a meeting this afternoon, so. I think I'll have some lunch. And maybe play with my DW a bit.

Yeah, I figure I'll always have at least a token presence on LJ, but they're not getting any more of my money.

Date: 2010-09-02 07:01 pm (UTC)Since it's a violation of LJ's own terms of service, it'll be fun to see if a few lawsuits take wing.

Date: 2010-09-02 07:33 pm (UTC)Now, see, that makes sense. That's sort of Standard Operating Procedure for Facebook, and despite much insistence that Facebook never pays for these kinds of linking deals, I believe they want that juicy new market and have offered something juicy in return. If not cash, then some means of generating lots of cash, such as promoting LJ on Facebook. A deal has been made.
And this being Facebook, I do not believe that a deal, once made, can ever truly be unmade, and that's why I'm here on DW now.

I ... think I just used all my available words/brain cells in my comment below.
Must. Buy. More. Coffee.

Date: 2010-09-02 07:26 pm (UTC)... I was actually ready to walk away from this gig. This gentleman is a really nice guy but oh, bless his heart, his house.
I mean, he inherited a lot of the decorative travesties when he bought the place, but seems intent on inflicting a whole new and different set upon it. Although I doubt anything could outdo the blue-and-black-scattered-zits sponge-painting job in the room where he wants the mural. I've never seen anything quite like it, and my only real demand was that this had to be well painted over before I begin. Because my artist's paints are not that opaque, and would require many layers to hide those splotches.
He's removing the early-'80s striped pinkish floral wallpaper in the kitchen ... but replacing it with a wallpaper that resembles some kind of fabric from Jamaica, maybe? It's a large abstract pattern of deep blue with oranges, reds, yellows.
And he just seems so unsure of himself, and rushed, and I wish he'd take a breath and chill out. But I'll only be there for a day, and it'll be good money, and I talked him out of the Idea That Would Have Looked All Wrong and we settled on the Idea That Could Actually Be OK, so.
Why, why, why must I be out of caffeinated coffee today?

Date: 2010-09-02 07:42 pm (UTC)And in fairness, the Sponge Paint Polka-Dots weren't this man's doing, either. And some of the house's wallpaper, he has ditched in favor of plain old paint and in a pleasant color, so it's not all horrendous. He just seems to have no concept whatsoever of "these things do not belong together."
I have a feeling he's probably not a very good cook.

Date: 2010-09-02 08:22 pm (UTC)I'm so, so sorry you don't have coffee. And also, your client's house sounds a little like our house must have been, at one point--we found the wallpaper extras in the basement, and the previous owner said when they moved in it was all over the house--shiny gold and silver, with white designs in fleur-de-lis and such. Oh, and the white was fuzzy. GOD. NO.
