Diario de Tepintzin

This is just me throwing out initial pitches, but I'd ultimately like to do something.

Our condo is, well, kinda beige. Some pics:











The predominant colours are beige, brown and blue. I'm thinking about how to add some more colour. Fake plants are a good possibility (can't have real ones or certain blue cats who shall remain nameless will dig in/throw about/crap in the pots). I'm on the lookout for more paintings for the walls. Finally I'm considering painting some walls. I think painting the whole living room would be too much visually, but one or two walls might work. I think some blue in the bedroom might be nice, and stencils are something seki_raku knows about.

I know there are some armchair designers out there. I'd like to hear ideas.

Decorating my pod is, for me, conducive to feelings of security. I know that I can always hole up in a room that will make me smile on seeing it.

I mentioned my new orange sheets the other day. Here they are:

After Mass today, Fr. H stopped me and actually gave me a hug and thanked me for participating in RCIA which I didn't expect. After that I went as usual to the MWR to wait for folks for board games, but everybody wanted to see the 1400 movie "Whiteout" so I went too. Meh, it was okay for a free movie, about a murderer on the loose in an Antarctic base.

I went back to the theatre to see "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" but between it being abysmally stupid and me having a headache, I decided I'd rather be at home watching more Stargate: Atlantis so that's what I did.

We'll start putting in for R&R dates next week or so. As I've said, I'm aiming to be home for New Year's.

Here's the first rose of 2007. It's been duly placed on the altar of Our Lady of Guadalupe as an ofrenda:( Read more... )

Here is the entrance to our complex:( Read more... )
