White People Love Macaroni and Cheese

I hung out with my buddies Ed Martinez and Eric Wostenberg last night. The last time Eric and I hung out in downtown Pancho was with us, after a night of drinking we walked past a Macaroni and Cheese restaurant. It was either due to the fact that both of us were pretty drunk or that we are white males, but once we saw it, both of us take off in a dead run to get in and order some food. Pancho took a picture of the scene and commented 'Jesus, you white people sure love macaroni and cheese.' Sure enough last night, after a couple of beers, Eric waxed poetically on how much he loved that macaroni and cheese. Fact: White People Love Macaroni and Cheese.

I spent the majority of the day working on the unit, I've finally finished painting the red wall. I put a gallon and a half of egg shell paint on that damn wall and it looked streaky as hell. A co worker said I should switch to flat for better coverage. I've now purchased 3 gallons of the same color paint, I've put on 5 coats of paint. It looks much better, although it's still streaky. I think this will be the absolute last coat I put on it for a while.

I hate my track lighting above the counter, I want it to die a painful death. To that end I spent a couple of hours at Home Depot to try and find a replacement lamp for track lighting. At the current moment the light looks like this:

It's gross. I figure for the short term I could buy some $20 replacement lamps, I was hopeful Home Depot would have a wide selection, specifically, I wanted something that looks like this:

If you can make out those lamps, you'll notice how they look like saucers. I think those have a better midcentury modern look than the IKEA crap the developer installed. At any rate, 2 hours of Home Depot shopping did not yield the track light lamp I was looking forward to installing. I'll have to shop for this on line.

But, I did buy a new faucet for my bath room. I didn't like the one that the developer installed. It had a single pivot handle for hot and cold water, it's not really my style.

I found a faucet that had a cleaner more modern look.

I have a ton of experience install bathroom faucets, it's one of the many things my mom made me do when ever she wanted to change the style of her bath rooms.

I also got a new couch, behold:

I'm a drunk and most of my friends are drunks as well, thus it was critical to get a couch that can convert into a bed (I'm against drinking and driving, but I'm for drinking). This one converts into a full sized bed for anyone, or a couple, that needs to sleep off a night of boozing.

I need to eat dinner, I think I'll go get some macaroni and cheese.
