thursday

walked up to get coffee this moring. it was clear and cool, great day for a light jacket without any chance of overheating. returned aqua teen hunger force movie, which we had watched sunday night, and the flying scotsman, which we watched as we went to sleep last night. back home, i sorted out emails and prepared to ship the first two things i donated to the 'we has posters' auction for clay from gigposters. greg arrived to work on the drywall, and we agreed about how far he should be working towards perfection. budget vs. reality, old old house vs. not wanting to have to stare at cracks in the walls.

filled the car with recycling and headed south. first stop was skokie millwork, to order more trim for the 'caps' above the interiors of the windows. i'll post photos in a couple weeks when i have something to show. spent an hour trying to find a trim sample which was close to a particular part of trim we have through half of our house (now that half has been torn out). no luck, but i think they can make me the right thing without having to manufacture new knives for the shaper tool (which would be an additional $250).

from there, i went to TBM. loaded some more of the torn-out floor tiles into boxes which i could throw away in the dumpster. loaded 330 lbs. of paper into my car. got some films, and some ink. sorted prints which are going into inventory. shot photos of the cyclocross posters and the 'beaver dam' print demo posters, to be added to TBM.com.

headed down to screwball to burn a screen, load in paper, mix ink, and leave instructions for mat and sue, who are printing 1275 pieces, beginning at 5pm today. saw steve, and good old keith herzik, who i don't get to see enough.

from there, i went to meet diana and my parents and gramma ryan for my dad's birthday dinner, rescheduled from tuesday night (when i was puking). way too much pasta. i had a mojito and a cappuccino, but not at the same time.

home now. time to worry about the TO-DO list.
