koncupiscence+ weekend, weekend, i am so ready for the weekend! tick tock tick tock. this past week we FINALLY had rain in LA - like real, actual, rain for THREE DAYS. it was glorious. i wore socks and shoes to work for the first time since, idk, april? and two nights ago i busted out my hoodie and fuzzy socks for after work snuggling and it was cozy and fantastic and i love fall, hooray!! ....and now it's supposed to be 95 degrees this weekend. sigh... SIGH.
+ so up until last weekend, i had pretty much only envisioned the color scheme i wanted for my house in my head. i felt fairly confident about it, but i feel even better now. i grabbed about 20 paint chips on saturday and placed them all over the house in the truefax lighting of each room, and was really pleased with the results. i've narrowed them down to two shades of each color that i keep flip-flopping between. but regardless of which i choose, i think the whole scheme flows really nicely. i'm excited. i'll try to do a picspam this weekend.
and initially i was going to put in a greenish/black granite, but instead i think i'm going to stick with just black. i think it will look more classic/timeless with the white cabinets and then i can use all sorts of colors for that extra little punch here and there (yellow! orange! turquoise! red! hollah!).
next up is sofa shopping. i went to four different stores last weekend - most of which were a complete bust. i did find one chair w/ottoman that i'm considering, but the couches were all either ugly, the wrong style, or uncomfortable. i need something that i can flop onto and spend many hours loafing like a big loaf. so this weekend i'm checking out 'the sofa company' which has excellent reviews on yelp. fingers crossed! and if there's time, wallpaper shopping for my bordello bedroom, woo!
+ in lol whut news, one of the remodeling/decorating blogs i follow, young house love dot com, recently answered some questions from their readers, and this one made me aruhh?!
and not only that, but a few questions down they mention that panic was also the last concert they attended. lol whut. i've never actually known anyone outside of fandom who's even heard of panic, and those who know of fall out boy typically only know of pete and assume he's the lead singer. probably a generational thing, but still. always amusing when worlds unexpectedly collide.
+ nanowrimo is coming up! but once again, i don't think i'll be participating. :( every year i think that next year will be the year i really give it a hearty, college try. but idk, it never seems to work out. my head's so deep in house planning right now, that it's honestly hard to focus on anything else, and then K2 is coming for two weeks in november (NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING \:D/), so clearly i won't be holing up in my room typing while she's here. so i'll shoot for 2011. as it turns out, 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for me: finally moving in to my house, mcr tour, hawaii w/K2, turning 40 :\\\\, and now, nanowrimo. woot woot, year of the krit, here i come.
+ and lastly, most who care have already seen this, but i just want it here because... well, because.
lil nestor-ieros. ♥
(also, om nom mcr box set!!1! my brother has agreed to get it for me for my birthday, and it is taking everything in me to not turn around and ask DID YOU ORDER IT YET? DID YOU GET IT? DID YOU ORDER IT? YOU WON'T FORGET TO ORDER THAT RIGHT? DID YOU ORDER IT YET???)
