Spraypaint

I bought a model car today. I would tell you what it is, but that would require reacing over there and flipping the box over to read the top. Anyway, I pulled it out and on the side is this list of “Required paint colors”. Needless to say, that was completley ignored. There were like 4 diffrent shades of black it wanted me to buy. Black. BLACK! Black is black.. that’s what makes it black. Not this “Midnight black” and “Crystal black”. What the crap is that all about? Black is the abscence of color.. how can you have diffrent shades of something when it’s not a color at all? So it’s all black.. all of it. Took the little plastic trees outside and spraypainted all of it black. What gets me is that most of the pieces are SUPPOSE to be black, so why can’t they make them out of black plastic and save people a lot of work?! I’m lazy.. I don’t really care to paint all those tiny little pieces. I’ll be sure to post a picture of it somewhere when I’m done.

 In other news, Ginko Financial went down the other day. It was great fun.. I made these HUGE yellow signs to hang up everywhere. People would teleport in.. walk into the sign.. stare at it for a while and then try to use the system even though this HUGE sign clearly said it was broken. I made fun of some of them, to which they responded by telling me they hadn’t rezzed in yet. Still.. you go somewhere and there’s a HUGE gray block around the machine you want to use, would you assume it was suppose to be there?

 To top it all off, last night I went to open the drawr in my desk and ripped the front off of it. It was like the drawr just stayed in the hole and the front piece was in my hand. I just sort of set it back over the pile of stuff that rolled out into my bedroom floor. I think I’ll take some big drywall screws and just screw it all back together one of these days.
