Feb. 8th, 2006 09:09 pmThe plan for tonight was to get the computer room in a semblance of order, and I think we accomplished that. Well, kind of. There are no boxes in the floor anymore, and even if everything isn't it its correct spot, I can at least sit down without tripping over loose cords. I really need to do more work than this but I have had a headache all day and I really don't want to. It was odd because I suddenly had this giant spot in my eye that looked like I had stared into the sun for an hour, and when it finally went away, I had a lovely migraine in its place. I really had never had that happen before, but I was strangely pleased to be able to connect one of my maladies to another.
I did, however, proofread M's resume. He called me mean, and also intimated that I had begun getting on his nerves as soon as I got up this morning. Then he thanked me when I was done, but only after implying that I was dragging things out to prevent him from playing computer games. I think it's pretty clear that I should not ever be in a position where I can judge people based on their resumes because I am absurdly picky when it comes to formatting and consistency. (Hi, dear Mosaic Minds staffers, you who have put up with my excessive desires for straight quotes and valid xhtml and staff pictures placed and sized just so--shall I take this opportunity to lavish you with praise and shmoogles for putting up for me, and did you get the joke there?)
Anyway. Life is slowly getting back to normal chez Yayer. We've spent more time in this room tonight than we have since the first night that we had our computers back, when we sat and read through a zillion LJ posts at once. Our house is still not done.. we have stacks of boxes in the sunroom still, and my parents are probably coming down this weekend to pick up their stuff, so it's going to be pretty embarrassing to have made such limited progress.
Now, on to the important stuff. We have white baseboards and trim throughout the house. The computer room is currently a sickly blue color that really has to go. (The master bedroom is the same color but we're not tackling the crappy painted-over-bubbled-wallpaper walls* until everything else is done.) Our desks are brushed aluminum and pale wood--they look like this. The hardwood floors (oak) have a distinctly red cast to them.. not like cedar, but something of the feel of them, although lighter. We are in this room most of the time, and so I'd like it to look nice. The art we have for this room is mainly blue and gray, and the overall style of the room is kinda edgy and modern with the desks and matching bookcase. What color should we paint the walls?
*I've mentioned this twice now, and you may be wondering exactly how we bought a house and then noticed that the master bedroom walls are in such bad shape. The answer is that there is no overhead light in that room. There's a fan, but no light, so there will be one very shortly. Anyway, you really can't see it much when the lights are off, but now that we have lamps and such in there, it's pretty noticeable. Speaking of there not being a light, why is there no light? The living room doesn't have an overhead light either. I think that's so weird.
