As some may know we're re-doing some of our house (yay, the joys of homeownership...). We have a brand-new lovely yellow stucco and now I have to pick a trim color. I didn't pick it ahead of time, because teeny swatches never look the same when spread all over your house. But now, I'm at the stage where I need to pick.
I could do white (white-ish) trim. It's sort of traditional, especially on my California crackerbox. So it's my fallback if I can't find something else, but I would like not to be a color coward and pick something a bit more ... colorful. So I'm playing around with the color pickers on various paint manufacturer sites and it's great fun. But man are some of them HORRIBLE. People on my street would never speak to me again.
"Oh, there's the crazy lady with the appalling yellow and teal house. Funny, she LOOKED so normal..."
"Let's hurry past, so she won't speak to us!"
hee.
In other t.v. news, LIFE continues to amuse me. William Sanderson as a guest star! How can you go wrong? It's not a show I feel I need to devote a lot of attention to, but it's fun. Now if only they would also add Timothy Olyphant from Deadwood, and I'd watch this show forever and ever.
(lallalalala implausible law and police work lalalalala not real -- SEE? WIlling suspension of disbelief at work)
In my other crime show of the week, I'm completely unable to tear myself away from the Hotch angst-fest of Criminal Minds. I'm weak that way, I admit. All the cases so far have reflected rather deliciously on his personal life, and it's awesome to watch him pretend that everything is JUST FINE THANK YOU as he gets wound tighter and tighter. I'm wondering if he snaps and that's how Joe Mantegna gets brought in as a new supervisor.
But I miss Gideon. Nobody else does the little voice-over tags with as much gravitas as Mandy Patinkin. *sniff* But generally, for having to rewrite everything without him, they did a really amazing job considering how quickly it had to be done. Helps having a giant ensemble I guess, but still, good work making it seem almost as if the episodes were written that way all along.
Back to the paint game!
