started painting my hall
in 30 degree heat.

To make it worse, I decided halfway through that I should really do the ceiling as well. It's not as white as it seemed to be from the ground.

Yay for the sig
But boo for painting in this heat. There's not even a breath of wind for ventilation - you'll be keeling over with the fumes.

Man I love Tom Waits.

If I believed in an afterlife
it'd have Tom Waits as the deity. It'd be a great reward at the end of my days to know I'd be going to a better place with a dischordant piano, Mark Ribot on guitar, and the man himself singing about how fucked up it is to be dead.

I'm depriving myself of breakfast until I get the second coat finished. that'll either spur me on or have me falling off the stepladder with weakness and heatstroke.

Set up a video camera
Just in case it's the latter.

He'd be like a singing version
of the mad preacher he plays in Domino.

I'd want him to sing the Bastards disc from Orphans I think.

There's a film where that happens, you know
I think. Wristcutters- A Love Story. Pretty interesting premise; if you kill yourself, you have to go to a special afterlife. And Tom Waits is there, helping run it.
