Seriously, three cars? How old are the Saab and the other car? That is so red state. Which ones run?

It has been a dark week in many respects - the closing of First Ave is certainly one of them. A Minneapolis institution closed by squabbling among the owners.

NO! What about Seventh Street Entry? I imagine that closed along with it?

Trifecta, bitches!

Agreed. RT, have you finished your book report yet?

No. I haven't had time to review the material. It occured to me that I did a porn purge a few months ago, and I don't have any straight porn on hand for the comparison. I'll probaby end up watching something off of pay per view. Expect the report on Monday.

We'll all be waiting with 'bated breath.

Fringe, suck it up and rip out the tile. After living with no counter top for a while, you'll find a way to pay for a new one. I promise.

Definitely. If all else fails you can sell one of sunny's cars to raise the cash.

I'm not really comfortable with bright red. I'm not really a primary color kind of person. The cabinets are fairly light and more cool than warm. Maybe a brightish medium/dark blue? There's not a ton of wall space -- cabinets and the refrigerator cover much of the walls, and there's a passthrough/bar over the sink area. The only appliances I would really have on the counter are a matte grey metallic mixer and maybe a black coffeemaker.

I just finished having my entire house painted and have thought endlessly about color for the past couple of weeks, so LISTEN TO ME.

Blue won't warm it up, and is not a good color for kitchens because it is considered unappetizing.

Because there's not a lot of wall space, I encourage you to try Benjamin Moore's Spanish Red or something very similar. It's a warm red, not too blue but definitely not too orange. It looks absolutely fabulous with matte grey and black, and it warms up all the white in my kitchen. (My cabinets are Swiss Coffee white; I have white appliances with charcoal gray accents (i.e., burner grates); and my countertop will be a dark gray with tan/black flecks.) It looks equally great in sunlight and under incandescent light (I don't have a single fluorescent light in my home, so can't tell you how that will work).

Plus, it will stimulate the appetite -- it may just inspire you to have sex on your black and white counters, especially with a dark haired man (they look good in red).

Don't be afraid of the red, sweetheart. It's a fantastic color for even a small kitchen. Just buy a quart, or one of those 2 oz. Benjamin Moore samples, and try it.

And use Benjamin Moore paint. The finish is better than Behr's.

KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF MY AUTOS

I just dropped a tiny drop of clear nail polish on my pants. Are there any recs to get nail polish out of fabric?

I just bought a red toaster. I am now thinking about having sex on it with a dark-haired man. He will have to be lean.

Take a scalpel and cut out the affected area.

I have named my hangover Clarence. Clarence says he wants me to go take a nap under a partner's desk.

2001, 2000

They all run fine. I now have a sedan (saab 9-3) a work truck to tow the horse trailer (Ford f250 super duty v10) and my urban sport utility vehicle. I'm going to keep the saab tidy and trash the Element. Save the truck for when necessary.

If it were up to me (it's not), my entire apartment would be painted some kind of deep red.

But that is b/c I am so passionate and romantic.

Our dining room is red, with white molding/chair rail. It looks pretty nice. I'm going to send fringey a photo...

What do you mean no reason? He's divine.

I feel a little gross observing that, as he's, like, 17 or something..., but I'm sure the feeling will pass.




There. It's gone.

Bedroom and kitchen here.

Since I'm dark-haired, I'm going to send fringey a photo of me lying on the counter half-naked...
