Irritable blogging syndrome

Dave: Tessa and I decided about a year ago that we wanted to do something creative together, two brains into one idea. We set out and bought a gallon of bright yellow paint, a gallon of bright orange paint and a gallon of vodka... and at around four in the morning we had our first finished project: our bedroom had two bright yellow walls and two bright orange walls, not to mention a lot of mixed yellow and orange on the carpet and bedspread (I guess when you're so inspired and full of martinis, drop cloths don't come to mind). Of course this led to the realization that to prevent blindness and/or madness we would have to turn the room into the guest room and move down the hall. The next plan was to dye our white living room curtains a nice burgundy. So once again after a few warm-up martinis we filled the bathtub with dye and proceeded... what came out of our "great" idea was not a set of funky hip burgundy curtains, but a color that I don't even know how to articulate.... pinky, salmony... dried pepto bismal vomit? The funny thing is is that they still hang in the window of our old rental apartment. If you live in Vancouver I'll give you the address and you can drive by and see them for yourself, it's worth the trip. Our next idea was a little better, maybe due to the fact we didn't warm up with our usual barrel of drinks. We decided to buy a dozen pink (maybe the curtains inspired us) and a dozen white baby shirts. We drew a big green and pink flower and silk-screened it on the front. We decided that we'd sell them on e-bay and make millions so we could buy a huge farm and adopt all the dogs in shelters...... we still have all the shirts except the six we've given away, I don't know why they didn't sell.

When we discovered blogging it was another way we could create something together, something we could look back on one day and laugh... and the colors we chose for the site are not even orange, yellow or pink. It doesn't even matter if anyone reads this, we're just having fun and have discovered yet another way to play.
