Well, we got Coldplay's new album and Jack Johnson's new one, too. Oh, we got the house painted as well. The color is called Napoleon. We'll spend some time paying for it, but the siding and trim needed the protection, and the house could hardly have been less interesting than it was before:
Good Lord, it's hot. That's part of why we had the house painted by someone besides ourselves (in addition to professional know-how and a big sprayer that I don't have). After spending the weekend watching the work, fighting ants and termites, and installing a floodlight above the deck, Lindz and I enjoyed some beers and a burger down the road at the Taproom.
The process will never end. Despite my efforts, the huge, "Land of the Lost" style cockroaches will still show up in our living room from time to time. Ants are only briefly deterred by my chemical warfare. Things will leak and creak that were just fine last week. Unseen enemies lurk in the wall voids, rejoicing at my unease.
Fortunately, there's beer.

So now it really is blue. Looks nice.
Is 'X&Y' as good as I think it is? I need it too.
Oh, and what chemicals did you try on the ants?
That is truly blue! Very spiffy looking. Patriotic, too. Sorry about the vermin infestation. They probably are having orgies in your hot weather and dreaming of the day we humans nuke ourselves back to the stone age so they can take over the earth.
