color on request
my mom and i spent today cleaning out adam's bedroom and painting it. the painting was sort of spur of the moment as we looked at the many, many nails in the wall and accumulated grime after we got everything off the floor. 'what this needs,' i said, 'is some clean paint.' 'with almond extract,' added my mom, 'for the smell.' thus, i pawed thru the copius canisters of color in the garage determining which were solid matter, which were full of rusty bits, and which were still usable. we came up with white. lots of white. also yellow, purple, and some stinky varnish. the room is now a lovely shade of white. mostly. it was really bad paint. now all it needs is a bed and it will be ready for jason to sleep in on the off chance that he comes to stay this week. i almost want to institutionalize 'painting for guests'. we should paint the room everytime someone might come to visit. my blisters are a sign of my love.

you can, yes. but my mom has a huge phobia about the color purple. something to do with an aunt. or great-aunt. so i don’t know if i can get that one past her. but i’m painting my bedroom purple next week. so you can always sleep in it.
