MORE CABINET SHITE.
The last base cabinet drawers are in. This involved some wacky antics with angle brackets because there was NO WARNING WHATSOEVER in the 30" base cab directions about two extra pieces, one of which rilly rilly needed to be installed before, oh, the cabinet was screwed into the wall and a counter put on it.
It was a bitch, holding up this 24" x 1.5" piece of wood so I could attach it, but I did it. (It also involved ripping composite board to fill spaces. I got to use the table saw, YEAH!) The drawers after were a piece of cake.
Now all that remains is the pullout pantry and converting a base cabinet with a hinged door into a pullout trash can holder.
I told King, when I dragged him out to see, "If I were walking through a house, and saw this kitchen, I'd shit myself." It's cute, sure, but it's functional and there's room for everything already, and we haven't even done anything with the pantry/closet yet.
Going on to the pullout building tomorrow means I'll be back in-studio by Monday. I can hardly wait! Windows! Space to draw! Wheeee!
I know I've been going on about it. I'm ready to be done, but I am really proud that I designed and built it myself. That means OBSESSIVE DOCUMENTATION!
DICK DALE:
Glad to see how many people dug the clip of Dick Dale I posted yesterday. I forgot to say I found it via boingboing.net
Everyone needs a little BoingBoing every day. So to speak.
RUMBLE GIRLS:RLO:
It tackles something I have been thinking about for years, something that has bugged me about the Beauty and the Beast story, which is: Beauty falls in love with Beast, and her reward is a...good-looking man. (Do not get me started on the transformation in the Disney film. That was dreadful.)
Why, then, does Beauty have to fall in love with the Beast? Why not just learn to love a good-looking guy who's an asshole? What's really happening here is an woman imprisoned by her father's fuck-up is stuck with a scary animal, and she has to fall in love with him so HE gets his old body back.
They're all dicks and the doormat fixes everything, and her reward is a dude she can show her friends.
BLEH.
I wanted a Beast who didn't change. So I made one, and his crazy-ass Beauty to go with.
Did I mention Carla Speed McNeil's writing the intro? I asked Adam Warren, but he distracted me with Carla, and Carla said yes.
