Tidbits And Tantalizers

Wow. Only two posts in the month of May. I suck.

The remodeling of my neighbors bathroom is complete. The buzz around the building is that it is a success. The neighbor directly below has yet to complain about a wet ceiling. It was a $6500 dollar tab and after materials and outside labor and services I have about $12.75, enough to buy a sandwich. But for me, it’s not about the money, it’s the work. No wait. That’s my acting mantra! Oh no!

GREEDY, the new play I’m currently rehearsing is a week and a day from opening. I find myself wandering aimlessly into oncoming traffic, hoping for some graceful exit. But I know that all that stems from barrels of insecurity. My cast mates (gloriously talented folks) seem upbeat and positive about the process. I try to join the fun but become occasionally paralyzed by the notion that they are all looking at me thinking, “if only he were better”. When I did I AM MY OWN WIFE, I often complained about my fellow cast members, and I am sure that this behavior is coming back to roost. Barrels and Barrels.

The tile for the back splash has finally been procured and will arrive in two weeks or so. Meanwhile I am constructing the “entertainment center/bookcase” on the window wall of the living room. It will house the tv, the stereo, books, records, the printer and other big ugly peripherals, and house the radiator as well as offer a window seat with storage inside. It will be a painted unit to keep the cost down but it should turn out fairly well. It will join this unit in look.



















During my free time I built a pot rack on the cheap.



And bought a wine rack and paper towel holder, sticking with the wrought iron theme.








Meatier posts soon to follow. A shout out to all those toiling away in Iowa City making the Bard spring once again to life.
