Wednesday I went to the beach with Matt Warnick; we just chilled out there for a couple hours playing guitar and talking. It wasn't flipping awesome but it was still restorative. We played some O.A.R. songs and I sang. I recorded some video of it but when I was listening to my voice I realized it sucked! Haha so I don' t know if you'll see those vids on facebook or not.
Afterwards we went to see some friend/acquaintances who were at the beach too, and that was fun even though we didn't really know them. Apparently a lot of the stuff I said was really funny. I guess several girls + social awkwardness because two unfamiliar guys show up = laughs.
Then I went home that night. The next day I got up and started sanding the paint off of this floor lamp that my friend was gonna throw away. You know how college female freshman furnishings are always green, orange, purple, and yellow? This was somewhere between snot green and lime. Anyway, I sanded that paint off (without reading the label on spray paint which says when you sand paint it may contain lead, so that probably explains any drop in IQ from now on, because I definitely inhaled some of it).
Then I took the lampshades from the lamp and sprayed green and yellow on the inside. When lit, it looks like lemon/lime colors. I wanted it to go with the beach theme of the apartment.
I then painted the main shaft and base with this new spraypaint that looks like sand/adobe texture with sand grits in it. Hopefully it's dry by now... I had to leave it at home because it wasn't. Then part of the lamp that flexes like a Mr. snake light, I painted light blue.
So when the dang thing dries, if it does, it'll be amazing. Apparently I have a thing for making lamps... this is the second one I've made. I love lamp.
