My wife and I were in Andersonville (Chicago) for dinner a few weeks ago and went to Transistor . A great little shop for anyone in the area. We immediately saw this print by Jason Brueck / Alter Images and had to have it, but we had to order the larger size. Well this weekend we were in Andersonville again, this time to collect the print. I could not be happier with this purchase and it will be, until I die, the only thing in our house that is godly:

A better look of where he is:

While walking around we also picked up a delightfully ugly love seat that is the most comfortable thing I’ve ever been sat upon. Only $100 at an antiques store. At that same store I picked up this fun 8MM projector for $20 (and it works):

Fun Fact, the projector is a Revere Model 80. Revere Camera Company was founded in 1920 as a car radiators manufacturing business (Excel Radiator Company). They started producing movie cameras in 1939, and changed the name to Revere. The Model 80 was their first projector made early to mid 1940's and was one of the best of the day thanks to it’s quality build and features.

That’s all for now, what’s going on in your world?

Like your decor, especially the couple next to the projector. I need one.

Also, I like the green.

Someone ripped of my credit card this morning, but I get free pizza for lunch; so, in balance not too bad.

Thanks! We get new Dia de los Muertos statues every year in Mexico.

The green is probably going to stay, but all the other walls are a generic ‘renter’s beige’ type color (which is odd since this place has never been rented out by any previous owners) so that’s going white. Cabinets are going grey upper/white lower. Once we get around to it.

Well that sucks but hey, free pizza is always good!

Yes, nothing sucks out your soul like neutral beige walls. Happy painting!

Glad to hear it. You’d be surprised how long it took me to realize that you can easily reinstall Windows Media Player 12 via built in Win10 options I tried to find the damn download everywhere but couldn’t. Stumbled upon the option and felt like a complete fool.

Except for not doing it a year ago, prior to moving in, and now having a 2,300 sq ft home full of furniture and pets to have to paint around!

Yeah, BTDT. That’s why we now hire a painter. We painted a couple rooms ourselves in the past, but we just can’t be the ones to move all our crap now.

We’re thinking of hiring a team to get it down while we’re out of town in December. Typically we’ve done our home improvement ourselves, but this will be the biggest, most time consuming job. Plus I’ve got this mess of shelves I built for the cats that will be super fun to take down and put back up which, on top of all the other stuff, adds to the desire to hire people:

Yes, hire. If you do that yourself, you’ll need to rubberize the walls anyway by the time you’re done.

Very true. We probably will.

why use windows 10 when you can use windows 95

In most cases, this is a very valid question. But, to answer, because Surface Pro 3 and PS4 remote play when I’m too lazy to walk downstairs.
