I see dead people.
So, I have this big giant HP subway poster that was a gift from the Lovely Roommate. It's 46" by 60". It's big. And it's that heavy vinyl outdoor material, so it's kind of heavy and it's always been really difficult to hang.
Since actually having it framed would be prohibitively expensive for such a large piece, I decided that the best thing to do would be to mount it over stretcher bars, like a blank canvas. It's so large that losing an inch on all sides wouldn't matter much, and I could just staple-gun it into place. I found out that Utrecht, the art-supply store downtown, sells stretcher bars in even-inch increments up to 100".
So I went down there to pick them up last night, and as I was in the neighborhood, I stopped in to visit Brian the Art Guy. We were chatting and suddenly he said "Hey, let's go to Greenlawn Cemetery!"
That might seem odd unless you know that I have a cemetery-photography hobby, and that Brian has frequently accompanied me on my I-see-dead-people trip. I had never been to Greenlawn, which is the largest cemetery in Columbus and is less than a half a mile from Brian's house. So we set out.
It's a great cemetery. Very old, but still active. It has huge monuments and mauseoleums for many of Columbus' founding fathers and earliest citizens, many of whom now have streets named after them. We drove around, checked out the supposedly-haunted bridges and gravesites (Brian's very into weirdness and the paranormal...Bigfoot is one of his hobbies), and almost got ourselves locked in when we didn't realize the place closes at 7.
Anyway, I got my stretcher bars but I don't seem to have the right staples for my staple gun. Woe.
Okay, so Annie's dealing with the baby's disability a lot better than Sean and Julia are. Way to freak the kid out, assholes. She's just dealing with it by familiarizing herself with it. YOU guys, on the other hand, are jumping to the worst possible interpretation of her actions and probably giving her a complex, not to mention yourselves. H8 you both so hard right now.
Richard Chamberlain? Brilliant. And gee, you think Christian's having a sexual identity crisis? I don't know why he's so threatened by the possibility that he's bi. That's twice as many people you could have sex with, Christian! Yay, right?
Don't even get me started on the whole Scientology angle. I never thought Matt was that gullible. I can believe it of Kimber in a second, but after being nearly sucked in by the whole Aryan Nation thing, you'd think Matt would be a little more hesitant to fall for another sales pitch. That character used to be smart and mature. I guess that's too hard to write consistently.
Yay, Laura won a challenge! That dress was super-cute. It was definitely my favorite. But argh, we had to see vincent and Angela again! At least Vincent kept his mouth shut about what gets him off. Yuck.
Bye bye, Kayne. You were a little ray of sunshine.
