Massive

Had a massive day in the studio. Having spent half the night trying to breathe thru this new cold, and thru a miasma of toxic cats piss tear gas, which seems to be the overwhelming personality of my shared house at the moment, i got to the studio a bit late, via Mascot steel to get a respirator for the melted foam chemicals. Perhaps the respirator could be useful at home as well. I don't think they make a cartridge for cats piss though.

I soon realised i need some liquid nails that actually works as opposed to the useless shite fake liquid nails that i got in marrikville hardware that was double the price it should have been even though everything in the store is 40% off for renovation sale..... won't bother going there again, even after the renos, thanks... can't imagine paying full price in there. How do inner westerners deal with the gouging they get? Have often wondered that, being i'm from the blurbs, & while a small locality tax is OK, since rents are maybe higher (but maroubra ain't cheap actually), its not usually a reasonable markup is it..

anyway enough warning people off there, it sucks ass, but its 10 minutes drive to big hardware & i got some fast action liquid nails and some cans of expanding foam (love this stuff). Then spent the day gluing foam slabs onto the big bloke & then trimming him with the hot wire. And sweeping up massive amounts of foam offcuts into a huge pile.

Anyway a massive day & the fact i stayed upright during it a plus. Hopefully this cold will just be loads of sneeze & not much else.

The day was remarkable in that i actually felt like i was enjoying myself sometimes. Hope i feel that way more often as the project continues.
