If you intend to use it as a chalkboard and don't know this already, they work better with a thin layer of chalk dust on them. Probably not ideal in a home office for a number of reason, but The More You Know.

Chalk. Nice.

The chalkboard paint squares work better when dusted with chalk? I know nothing about this magical nonsense!

I don't know that it's specific to chalkboard paint, but yes, chalkboards seem to work better with a layer of dust. I guess it can't hurt to try?

Yeah, you need to invite a bunch of mathematicians over. They'll show you what to do with your chalkboard...

Heh, I know some mathematicians, though they've got nothing on the physicists.

Did you take that on the train? Cuz then I think it's rightfully a large victory.

Half of it was taken on the train/bus, and half I borught home in a cab a couple days later.  Excited to set it up in my kitchen!

I have never been a player of stringed instruments (beyond a term or two of viola when I was an early-teen) but the other day I went out and bought a ukelele (spurred on by being visited by a friend who brought a couple). Actually I bought 4 ukeleles on the grounds that if you have one, and a small child, you need 2, and if you need 2, you may as well buy one for everyone, and when you buy 4 they're $25 each instead of $30. Anyway. I've learned how to play 4 chords fairly badly, but with some hope of playing them more quickly, so I'm feeling quietly confident. The same friend who came over the other day has a regular uke jam that I'm hoping to get to some time soon. And it's orange.

That's the hope! We all sat around this evening playing chords together :-)

I am imagining the ukelele family portrait and it is very very cute. And congrats on learning chords!

I finished painting my room.  It was totally the wrong season to paint and I had a couple more hiccups than I would have planned, but it's done.  I'm way happier with my room and now I'm going to eat donuts and samosas and watch shows about serial killers.  Yes!

I been reading a moomin book again and it feels good, feels good to read fiction. Also my boss said 'excellent work' at me and I am moving up to 40 hours a week. So I currently have serious money that I can save, and maybe travel overseas can start becoming a shadowy reality. Also I had praline chocolate today.

There are really few pleasures greater to me than grinding a pen nib into a nice italic edge. It's becoming sort of an embarrassing passion.

Saturday, on my way out of the beer festival where I was volunteering, I helped some guys who were tearing down the cigar tent and they gave me a cigar. A nice one I guess, though I am certainly not the most knowledgeable about them.  Earlier today, I had my annual employee evaluation, in which I was told what an awesome job I'm doing and given a decent raise. Right now, I am sitting in my driveway, smoking a cigar, drinking a homebrewed oatmeal stout.

I love it when a plan comes together.

That is awesome. I wish I had a cigar. I'm drinking a delicious homebrewed Bourbon vanilla porter, though.

Hell yeah, I've had those before! I used to buy R&J robustos when I worked at that tobacconists' after dropping out of high school. They're pretty tasty. I liked those and Punch coronas a lot.
