In keeping up with the news, the painting is mostly finished, at least for now. The living room has been painted a nice mossy green. The kitchen is what one could easily refer to as spice. And my bedroom? Why nothing but the finest, choicest yellows for my bedroom. lol That's right, I said yellowS. Only two though, so don't fret too much. The primary wall color is what some call a "kindergarten sunshine yellow" or a nice "Cheer Bear yellow". Xavier says it's "Banana Yellow". The trim, the built in shelves, the bottoms of the ceiling beams, and one side of the soffets are a beautiful ochre. Mmmm. OH! And then, the COOLEST part, is that Ariel worked REALLY hard to make a pattern of ochre and light yellow diamonds. It's truly transcendental.

On 12/5 the movers told me my stuff would be there in 4 days. 7 days later (today), the stuff has still not arrived. Fret not fair friends, they assure me that it'll be here this weekend or, at the latest, *next* Tuesday. /sigh

Perhaps they shouldn't list themselves under the heading of "MOVERS" in the Yellowpages. Perhaps they are better suited for the section entitled, "LOAFERS" or perhaps "TARDY"

I believe in truth in advertising and this company certainly begs for some editorial re-assignment.

What he said was: "Humble subordiantes make more violent palmreading (gitana) or those @#$%^&*()_+ movers, anyway.

I, for one, would like to see a wonderful TECHNICOLOR pic of your new room. How about it, eh?

Now, let me tell you why the word "gitana" is controversial....

The place sounds great. Hope the movers get off their duffs. On the upside, you can consider it a Christmas present to yourself.

@randall: It'd have to be the "tardy" section of the phonebook. If they went under the loafer section they'd have to sell shoes...

@dear ole dad: not too shabby. Any guesses on the buffalo one?

@angela: indeed!

@michael: I promise pics, pics, and more pics as soon as I find my camera...

@anonymous: What's your take on the use of @ to make spanish words gender neutral? As in gitan@s for both male and female gypsies (or gipsies is you prefer).

Sorry, I forgot to identify myself on the last "anonymous." I personally like the @ for gender neutrality.

Now all we have to do is figure out how that character would be pronounced in Spanish. "Hee-tahn-ampersand" makes for tough conversation.
