Post 12. Kitchen! Day 2.


After Joe was done stripping the hardwood, we discovered it's got slats under it, on top of the cement...


That's the living room... and Joe working on the slats.


That's what it looks like at the end of day 2.

Post 11. Kitchen! Day 1 - Prep.

Uncle Fred, Tom, Me, Ramyt.



Crin & Erin taking the tiles off the backsplash. The island is already gone. That countertop was a b*tch to move.




The Granite Countertop nearly killed us...:P As Tom said, us young whippersnappers don't stand a shovel to Uncle Fred.


Post 10. It's been a few days...

...but I've been busy with quite a few things.

We've started our kitchen renovation (we're on day 2) and things are looking good... long way to go but we've had a good start.

We also attended Ramyt's gig at Smartbar on Saturday night, which was cool and tons of fun.

Erin and Tom put up a super birthday dinner, also on Saturday night, and we wolfed on huge prime rib, salad and asparagus...yummy.

I had the day off from work today 'cos it was the first day with the builder who's doing the kitchen project. Kitchen updates and pictures will be on the posts marked "Kitchen!"

We're going to see my mom today and drop off Ramyt to Naperville. She had her second chemo dose last Friday - and really isn't feeling too good. She's really feeling the effects, and is in a lot of pain. Give her a call sometime, and tell her to hang in there.

Post 8. Apple Has a Boo-Boo.

Perusing Apple.com/Trailers yielded a semi-hilarious email posted as the description for the upcoming movie Sex & Death 101 with Winona Ryder.

It reads: "Below is the general info for Anchor Bay Entertainments April 4th release, Sex and Death 101 starring Simon Baker and Winona Ryder, please let me know if there is anything else you need of me."

Post 7. This Is A Kick In Performic's Rear-End... :D

The cows have flown, the pigs have shat and the droppings smell silly.

Now wipe that grin for your faces, Performics, 'cos you just got PWNED by Google (inadvertently, albeit).

Quoting D'Mac:

To everyone at Performics in Chicago who made a point at the Google St. Paddy's party to say "Welcome to OUR party", I say:
