about a month ago i was shitting bricks at the cracker factory but things are working out quite nicely at the moment and i owe it all to my good buddy al swearengen:
i've posted al's take on misfortune more times than i can count but it's absolutely the best advice i've ever been given. if you let them fuck you once, they'll fuck you twice.....ad infinitum. i have no ill feelings towards the cracker factory in general but a few of the administrative lackeys are on my shit list. i still plan to "give some back" but that can wait. i'm happy as a clam at the moment and only a fool would mess with bliss. when the happiness fades, it'll be back to business.
the batcave has been painted and it's a little brighter now so it's time for a new name. say hello to "the nest".
and at the other end of the nest:
i built the structure holding the tv over 20 years ago out of old 4x4's, 2x3's and 3/4 inch plywood. there was a lot of scotch consumed while i built it and of course the kids helped so i have an emotional attachment to it. the lovely mrs myshkin thinks it's a piece of junk and the movers wanted to throw it in the trash. the son of a bitch weighs a ton. this was my conundrum; get a great big tv that wouldn't fit in the old frame or keep the old frame and settle for a 50 incher. i just couldn't part with the old girl so i had to settle for a smallish tv. so it goes, life is still good.
i love you sons of bitches.
oh yeah, the england/italy world cup match was best game i've seen in years. yes, life is good.

Billy, glad to hear that you're standing-up to those that keep trying to push you down at the Cracker Factory, mate. :-P Nice job you've done on the 'Bat-Cave'', as well, matey. Bloody hell, in fact, I'd go so far as to say that you should be proud of your DIY/handywork, my friend. Looks really comforting and inviting. Should I wait for _my_ invite or are you gonna email it me? :-P Nah, seriously, looks really nice. Did I just type 'Nice'? I'll refrase that and replace it with cosy 'n cool! :-P
BTW, you obviously know your soccer, my friend! :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You & Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Peace,
Steve...
thanks farmer giles, i'm quite comfortable in the nest.
Billy, mate, over here, in 'Blighty', when we use the term 'In the nest', it's generally speaking about and referencing a woman's vagina. Hmmm, interesting read and assumption, Billy. Seems like you had the whole thing planned/mapped out! Out of the cave and into the nest [the love nest] :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
PS Nice TV cabinet, BTW! :-P
Ciao!
No meteor is gonna crush my god damned TV set, by Blodeuwedd.
Honey, hand me that sawzall!
Is the nest one room? Because the wall is pale green at one end and pale grey at the other. The only thing wrong with that frame is that it doesn't have casters so you can roll it onto the floor when the carpet needs cleaning. Glad you enjoyed the football - if you search for 'Mario Balotelli' on You Tube you'll find some interesting stuff.
farmer - it's strictly a turtle nest.
thims - the plan in the back of my head was to turn it into a turtle tank but the best laid plans....
gb - the color is lindenwood. i had no idea what color it was but trevor linden is one of the most popular vancouver canucks in history so i said, gimme some of that. it's a greeny brown.
Hum....
Harry has a very nice nest also, or prison, depending on how you look at it.
Second story, good view and a private bathroom. Leave a watermelon at the top of the stairs and he won't even notice when the rest of us are shagging his mother downstairs.
now you owe harry about 30 apologies. (and i think you still owe me a few)
Sit back with a good cup of coffee and wait for them.
BTW, I like the lime green, that is about the shade I painted Helen's kitchen. It is a most pleasant color.
i'm red/green color blind and thought i was getting a light brown color because the name was lindenWOOD. i always thought wood was brown and leaves were green. but no harm, no foul. everyone seems to think i picked out a good color.
I think a light green really cheers a room up even though I've never been much of a green fan. Like, who wants a green car?
The corner market just put two old phone booths up for sale, one of them in the nest might be kind of cool.
The nest looks good and the TV stand looks solid as a rock, throw it out?
No way!
You're wise to enjoy the bliss while you can, everything else can wait.
My in law has a chair like your gold one...comfortable.
Coffee is on
Glad to hear all is well, BP. The nest looks fabulous. How are liking the World Cup right now? Big match for the US this weekend. Need to beat Portugal and they are sitting pretty. Take care my friend.
bill - do i look like clark kent?
dora - yes, it's an old comfortable chair. i like old comfortable stuff.
tex - yes, bliss r us around here. and loving it.
mr shife - i'm enthralled with most games. too bad england is knocked out and i'm gonna miss the cameroonians too.
It is the longest day of the year, enjoy it.
Bill, why the fuck would I or any other macho Englishman want to enjoy the longest day of the year, mate? :-P
Shag off and watch The World Cup, cunt! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Words fail me...
Very nice nest. :)
