The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

Yesterday I spent the day either getting paint on me, or getting paint off me. I started from the time Carma and Joey left to go buy more paint, and didn't get finished until 4pm. I started with the downstairs bathroom and had the majority of it finished when they returned. I probably would have finished if the paint roller hadn't broke. After they returned, I finished the bathroom and moved on to the downstairs kitchen. By the time Carma was finished mowing, it was time to move the stuff shoved in the back corner so I could paint there. And it was then that I finally had some help.

I had paint everywhere. On my arms and legs, in my hair, and on my face. We didn't have anything to take the paint off, so I rubbed my skin raw with a brillo pad (steel wool). And it wasn't until later after the paint was dried when I got to go and take a shower. I still have flecks of paint on in places, but it's not too bad. I quite liked the white in my hair though. It made me wish I had taken the blue hair dye with me when we moved. Instead, it is in the storage unit, but I am not digging through that stuff.

Next weekend we are painting the downstairs living room. It should be easy, because there won't be as many corners. However, keeping Joey out of everything will still be difficult. He was under our feet the whole time. That's why I was asked to start while he wasn't here.

Speaking on that, yesterday I had to shut my door to keep him out. I was really tired after the painting, but he was whining and wanting to play the PS3. I said no, but he then said "Please!" at least 100 times. It was like a CD skipping. I had to physically remove him from my room and shut the door, because walking away only resulted in him following me. It's pretty bad when I have to literally barricade my bedroom door just so he won't come in.

Today I don't have any plans. So I may spend the day playing video games. I still haven't finished Nier. Or Thief. Actually, even when I only have a fraction of my video game collection, I have quite the backlog. Here's what I have, but haven't finished. Sorry, but it won't be in the normal alphabetical order. I am making this list on the fly, and don't have an updated list on the new laptop yet.

In case you were wondering, that's 59 titles. There's also a few games that are only partially complete, meaning I have seen the credits, but haven't bothered to fully complete the game. Like Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. And then there's also a couple games on my PS3 that I still haven't finished. Like that Back to the Future game and Eufloria. I have had some of these games for more than a year, and still haven't played them other than to check and see if they worked. Anyway, I shouldn't complain that I have nothing to do. Because in fact, I have a lot I can do.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
