Changes

[poliphilo]

Joe stayed up all night painting his bedroom. He also painted the kitchen floor.

I coped with his "music while you work" (great hits of the 60s- how I hate great hits of the 60s) by inserting ear-plugs.

 The kitchen floor, which was black, is now slate grey- a huge improvement.

His bedroom, which was blue, is now pale apricot with little, glossy, black squares dotted about- which is nicer than it sounds.

And his door has the Eye of Sauron painted on it along with his army nick-name, PIG DOG.

Ah. Self Expression. Something I"m sure he wasn't allowed in the Army.

Well yes,

He's since covered it over with a big poster of Bruce Willis in Sin City.

Funny: painting was the first thing Kate did when she moved in, too--she painted the guest bedroom light green and hung white curtains.

Mad Dog! I love it.

It's a way of personalising, I guess, of making a place feel like it's really yours.

I meant "Pig Dog." My brain is broken.

Pig Dog was his army nick-name. It's meant to suggest complete loyalty combined with...

...er...

...something else.

I can't really mock- I'm on a Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen kick right now.
