What on earth are you building Clone?

Savage Clone 12.25.2006 12:00 PM

I have many home improvements to make.
First off, I am going to do my bathroom in galvanized corrugated steel, as opposed to the raw "construction project in progress" walls that I have been rocking for an embarrassingly long period of time.

Пятхъдесят Шест 12.25.2006 12:07 PM

I wish I was handy and crafty, my place could use some work.

Don't you think a steel bathroom would be reminiscent of a public restroom? You'll have to show pictures when its complete. Just to get a better idea.

Savage Clone 12.25.2006 12:16 PM

I'm going for an industrial feel. It's that crinkly zigzaggy kind of steel, and non-rusting. My bathroom is tiny so I'm having some fun with it.


And I'm not that handy. I did my living room mostly on my own, but if you look closely my amateurish skills are obvious. My dad will be helping for sure.

So far my favourite present is the Jeff Tweedy 'Sunken Treasure' live DVD. Tons of fun:)

Glice 12.25.2006 01:55 PM

Besides the haul of items - CDs, books, some utterly fantastic Italian Leather shoes which'll need to be sent back because they're too small, some fantastic 78s which've travelled a fair way across the country - my favourite thing of this Christmas was getting some film of my five-year-old neice dancing to Melt Banana wearing my Melt Banana t-shirt. Brilliance itself.

A hat from Peru.
Photoshop Compendium (a thousand sites + 3h dvd) - a lot to do.
Bob Dylan book.
Banksy T-Shirt.

I don't know that's basically all. And a bit of money, which isn't bad at all. You know.

Isoflurane 12.25.2006 03:19 PM

I got a bunch of money.
I like getting the money more than I like presents, but I feel like a heel giving money.
I got a trip to memphis, and I get to spend time with my lovely lady.
That's all I got.
I bought myself a ton of Stax/Volt 7"ers to work on my collection.
I also paid off all of my medical bills, which feels pretty good.

No. These are cords. It would be a cord overload if I wore them with it. I have a new wool peacoat I've been wearing alot lately.
