Demolition

Sunday, Sept. 03, 2006 - 1:00 a.m.

The Bay Bridge onramp demolition is about six hours ahead of schedule as of this writing.

Knock on concrete. And hurry it the hell up.

So here's what happened yesterday with my alleged dinner date with Dan and Jan.

It didn't happen.

Earlier in the week, Dan said he'd charge his cell phone and call me on his when he and Jan were finished looking at the Monet exhibit at the Palace of the Leigion of Honor, so neither couple would be stuck somewhere waiting for the other to call.

Then at like, six pm, he'd call, and the four of us would make dinner plans.

We didn't receive his call. So, dinner didn't happen.

Oh well. No harm, no foul, and the plans were not set in stone. Not QUITE being stood up. :-)

Here's a list of Saturday 8s, found over on The Memes List, to the left:

1. in your house, what is the most useful appliance or gadget you own/use?

We have three nested Pyrex bowls, at least one of which we have used every day.

2. in your house, what is the least useful appliance or gadget you own/use?

I guess probably the Swiffer mop. There's about thirty square feet of moppable surface in the entire apartment.

3. think about your kitchen appliances & cabinets - do you love or hate your kitchen now?

When I'm scrubbing the floor, I love it, as there's only nine square feet of linoleum in it. The rest of the time, I am ambivalent.

4. What room in your house needs to be cleaned the most, and why?

5.Do you know anyone who is a hoarder or serious pack rat, to the point where it affects their lives?

I'm on the verge of being that myself!

6. In your place, which room would you love to have completely redone to your specifications, money being no object?

If money were no object -- I'd fucking MOVE. But that's not the question... I guess a newer kitchen would be nice.

7. What would you have done to this room? give us brief details - construction, furniture, style, colours...

Birch cabinetry and white appliances.

8. Are you a fan of redecorating/renovating shows?

No, I find them oddly depressing. Well, except for Queer Eye, if that counts.

Column to the left.

There ya go. Have a nice Sunday.
