Mice Are Making Me Angry
We have this mice problem in the house. I think part of it is from the church as I see them outside near it when it is warm out. Luckily they are little house mice and not big rats. I want to kill them more than anythin…

brick house
When they demo'd my walls we discovered there's brick behind them. Who would have expected that? Not necessarily a good thing, but I guess if the house burns down, my neighbors will be fine. I'll be roasted in a brick o…

Earthquake Insurance
I know, I know -- I haven't been keeping up with what's been going on with me lately. Mostly because, why would you give a damn? But also because, it would irrevocably dispel any illusion you may or may not have of "tha…

It's always something...
The kitchen & bath remodel is moving along. Luckily they didn't need me for much of the demo phase, except when they uncovered a hornets nest (literally) in the ceiling on Friday. It's amazing what you can co-exist with…

Fireplaces - ~$3000 later
What a strange day. We went down to Jamestown to see a fireplace dealer that Dave met at a nudist place somewhere in the 90s. In the summer, we see this dude everywhere it seems, no matter what state we vacation in. Iro…

oh what a view
The roof is half-installed. I've got the felt paper up and gooped, now I just need to roll on the final layer nail it up and tar any holes and I'll be done. Of course, being done doesn't mean I haven't done a horrible j…

More disjointed mobile pics
I have been too busy to keep up with y journal these days. Soon, I think the house stuff will calm down and I won't have any outside projects. I really need a rest from other programming so I can work on estrip and my j…

Lighting Fixture and Curtains
I got a new light fixture for my office at Royalite http://www.royalitelighting.com/royalite/ on Maple. It looks so much better now. The old one was so messed up. I switched to a new camera app for my phone, it takes su…

The RObber and the Chair
Apparently, if you get a letter saying you are COMMAND TO APPEAR IN COURT, it is not that important. The prosecutor said no one ever shows up for something like this. I assumed commanded meant that we had to show up but…

The Green Room
e:terry and I cleaned out and painted the former blue room and made it into the green room in honor of e:twisted's arrival. I tried to style it in a way that I thought she would like. I am going to go get carpet tonight…

Paint is oozing out my ears
I have become, to my amazement, a somewhat decent painter. Not in the portrait kind of painter way, but in the paint-stained guy on a ladder kind of way. I've been drawing near-straight lines all over the place: the cei…

A day in the mobile life of Paul Visco
They could not fix my phone so they gave me a totally new one. At the sprint store in Amherst they have a repair facility and if you have the $6/month insurance and you have a phone they can't fix of no fault of your ow…

I still hate asbestos
There was this major traffic jam in front of the hospital this morning. There always is some sort of jam there but today it was particularly bad. Indoor Air Professionals really did a bad job cleaning. I found after clo…

A shot in the arm
It turns out my last tetanus shot was in 1991. So I'm already living on borrowed time. Seems like some other crazy things have happened. Oh yeah! I ran into someone I used to work with, like, 10 jobs ago back in Boston.…

Gone, but not forgotten
My upstairs tenants have moved out. They left me a few momentos to remember them by. No where near as bad as I expected though. I'll probably give them their full $200 security deposit back. Coal (?), broken glass, pain…
