Today I was listening to The 2 Tone Collection and wishing I could get up and skank out to the rocksteady beat.

I had written a whole bunch of stuff this afternoon about the weekend, and then my computer hosed and I lost the whole goddamn thing. It’s getting to be a common thread with this journal of mine. Now I’ve decided I’m editing a mirrored copy locally and posting once at the end of the day so that i might maybe have a mirror of what I’m doing. And perhaps if Dreamweaver wasn’t so annoying, and HomeSite had some better upload features (and didn’t crash), I’d use one or the other permanently.

My back hurts pretty bad. I spent the weekend painting Jen’s kitchen and then taking care of her yesterday when she stayed on my couch sick from work. I also put the first coat of paint on the left-hand wall going up the stairs in the hall. It turned out a little dark, but once I cut the edges in I really kind of like it. I’ll see just how dark it makes the place in the evenings and how much light is sucked up in the daylight, but for now it’s pretty good.
