My roommate Lee had an inspiration this morning: "Let's paint our room today!" I thought this sounded like a productive way to spend the afternoon.

So we went to Lowe's to buy paint and supplies. Some nice employee mixed our paint and then told us how to paint, for which we were grateful. Especially grateful because we had decided a simple paint-job wasn't good enough--we wanted the crackled look. Some might consider this a foolish task for two inexperienced painters. I may end up agreeing with them. I'll let you know when we're done.

You might also be wondering why Lee and I have time to do all this on a Tuesday. It's actually quite simple: we don't have Tuesday classes and we don't care for doing homework.

I'll post a picture of our crackled wall after we finish. Happy trails!
