I got back from Philadelphia Friday. It was a great trip, Lindsay showed me a lot of really cool places and kept me really busy. We even went "down the shore" to Sea Isle City, NJ. The weather sucked for a beach, but it was still nice to go somewhere different. I had to get a train home on Friday and I enjoyed it up until the point where this 40 year old Indian man sat next to me and kept asking me if everything I had was from India, and if I wanted him to get me alcohol so we could drink together... Needless to say, as soon as he got up, I got the fuck out of there and moved up to sit next to an old woman so I could avoid awkward unwanted conversation and continue what I had been doing (listening to my music and staring out the window).
Then, on Saturday, Andrew and I took a trip down to Richmond to paint a couple rooms in our house. It ended up being really eventful, though I'll spare you too many details. Let's just say there was a dead mouse, a creepy, possibly homeless guy in our alley, and someone/something digging through our trash on the back deck. And another thing... our heat and a/c have different thermostats, and we spent the whole weekend in an 87ยบ house trying to find the a/c to turn it on, only to find it one hour before we left. Oy vey. We painted our living room (which had been MAGENTA) a nice olive-y green color that looks much, much better with the style of the house and also with our 1970's pleather couch! Then we painted my room a gray-blue-green color. Both rooms need a second coat. Never use Valspar paint.
