Neglect.

Clearly I'm not paying attention, when my own website isn't working for 7 days...

As an unnoticed malfunction might imply, I can't say that there's too much going on at the moment. I was supposed to do a cross-country trek to BC, which didn't pan out. Other than that, I've been doing some occasional work and spending some quality time with my Wii... Not exactly the kind of thing one needs to give daily updates on, right?

Right.

About the only useful thing I'm up to at the moment, would be trying to fix my parent's home. It's going back on the block and this time the idea is for it to be less 'au natural' and more pleasing to the eye. That means saying goodbye to the two-thirds of the house that still wears the original eggshell white builders paint (18 years and counting!) and also repainting the other third. There's also the matter of ripping up the tiles and linoleum in the kitchen, bathroom and hallway and replacing it with something that isn't ugly.

So far I've ripped down a bunch of ugly wallpaper borders, patched walls and scraped popcorn stucco off of ceilings. Now it's time to paint and make it look like I'm doing something, even though I am doing something.
