Pop o’ the Morning TO YOU!
July 1st, 2004
Hi. It’s the Internet exile coming to you live from my “job”. I decided to go with POPPY for the apartment, which will from here on be designated as “the room” instead of “the apartment.” Let’s be realistic here. It is a small room with a stove, a fridge and - brace yourselves - a toilet. I don’t even have my own shower. I have to share it with the two androgynous installation artists down the hall.
Thanks to all for the input on paint colors. I didn’t feel like lugging three gallons of better-hued PPG paint across the city from East 23rd by myself, and at the Bleecker Street hardware store they only had Benjamin Moore paint. When I got to the paint store I was all about the plant green - “fern,” if you will - but all the greens and turquoises they had were horrible - too dark and/or too muted. The poppy was the only acceptable color. It’s a nice rosey orange. To those who thought it wouldn’t match the brick - REST ASSURED the brick is only on ONE of the walls (I was wrong) and is VERY dark brown, not red (I was wrong). So it will actually look great. Yes. Because I said so.
I love how I think people care about this. (But they must! They posted comments!)
BTW, totally kidding about the shared shower. They’re not androgynous! They’re really hot men!
