still cheaper than therapy*


31.1.05
i didn't break the mantel. it's still in one piece. still functions as a sort of a tilted shelf. And i wouldn't put anything heavy on it. it just doesn't really fit the wall any more. and around the edges it's visible that the Previous Homeowner who, like a freaking genius,* painted the fireplace a pinkish pale mauve sort of color, didn't paint under the (hideous) mantel. And they have new ones at Lowes. But still, who paints the fireplace - the focal point of the living room - to blend in with the other walls? who does that? why would anyone think that was a good idea? who paints fucking brick? and why? and how many coats of paint did that take anyway? So now i have to get the expensive textured paint stuff to (a)make the fireplace brick-colored and (b)get back the pokey prickley rough-clay-bricky texture that painting over it removes. Bastards. i've hated the fireplace and the mantel for ages now. So off it goes. This weekend. Hold me to it.
