You know something has gone horribly wrong with the weather when you find yourself under a val kilmer cloud.

frank black quotes:
"If I could be anyone, I'd be Dr. Doolittle and talk to the animals. We'd shoot some shit"
"Everyone thinks I'm a wimp and even my own band hates me. Oh, well. I guess I'll just flip 'em the bird!"
"I used to listen to Iggy Pop naked cause I'm always naked in my apartment"

this one's for adam:
"I saw Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds for the first time today and I never liked music so much. Joey and I went for a pizza afterwards. Cave and Harvey joined us. Then we took in a movie in Brussels and I was creamin' my drawers."

I think this will make booka laugh.

I'm not sure if this is considered a want or a need.
Ok, it's a need: The Egg & Muffin Toaster.

Strange but true: Frank Black's iTunes Playlist is all Burl Ives.

what did i get myself into?

Per booka's request, here's another house decorating paint photo. This is the beginning of the dining room (original color was a light lavender). The green needs a second coat, therefore the plan is to stencil the whole room & then stencil it a second time for a second coat. Doing two at once doesn't jive.

Adam has been so kind as to paint most of the downstairs of the house. What do you think of the studio!? I luv it! Go team house of Payne! More photos of more painted rooms to follow........
