After priming my kitchen walls in white, it became such an inviting canvas for me to do some abstract art. Here are the opening splashes of my paint brush with the new Orange!

When we redesigned our kitchen, we wanted to make it a lot different. Something more modern, something more unique. I was quite open to bold colours, but little did I expect we would have selected a bright orange. I'm not sure how it'll turn out in the end when the kitchen is all done. However, I have some cautious optimism that things will be okay.

I suspect people will either say WOW or WTF when they see the final product. At least it's bound to invoke a reaction. :) The colour needs a cool name like Shawn's choices. lol

Chicken Wings for lunch today - my favourite type: Louisiana. I just adore these wings from M&M Meat Shops.

On Boxing Day, they had these wings on discount for $6.99 plus a free 1L bottle of Pepsi. Great deal considering a box typically sells for $11.99 (i think). Limit of 3 per customer. This was my conversation with the girl at M&M Meat Shops.

me: "Can I get 3 boxes of the Louisiana?"
girl: "How many do you want?"
me: "Isn't there a limit of 3?"
girl: "For you, there's no limit. :D"
me: "You serious?!?"
girl: "I can see you love these wings."
me: "Sweet!" :P

Man, as if painting all the walls wasn't enough for tonight, I had to deal with this lamp that broke, while trying to watch the WJHC. I got a feeling earlier this evening when I moved the light that it was kind of unstable. When I accidentally bumped it with my ladder, I just resigned and watched it come slowly crashing.. down. :(

After 3 months I finally assembled my Toronto Marathon frame. :)

I completed the 2009 Toronto Marathon back on October 18, 2009 with a chip time of 3:58:56.9. I ordered the photo on the left from the Official Race Photographers for CDN $21. It arrived several weeks ago. The right photo was taken by the awesome photographer named Doris. I've been meaning to print it forever to finish up the frame. Last night at 11:30pm, I logged onto Black's Photo website to upload and print my photo, only to discover they had a 75% off all 5x7 prints promotion that was to expire in 30 minutes! Caught the deal just in time, and had my second photo printed for $0.55. :)

Next race, I definitely need my own photographers.

January 3, 2010 - Photo 3 of 365
My Home.

Every weekend for the next while will be dedicated to the kitchen. Today was the first day of painting.

When we picked our ceiling paint, for some reason, we didn't like the pure white that is typical of ceiling paint. We elected to go with an off-shade known as Silk Moon. After applying two coats of this paint today, I cannot really tell the difference.

And yes, those goggles are the same ones from CHEM 201.
