Oh. Oh my. Oh my lord. Yes. Yes. Yes.

"Bitte nicht berühren!"

Does this include humping?



I need to visit the Glashütte Original manufactory.

And just for an added top-off, here is the A. Lange & Söhne Double Split Chronograph.

Training for a fight

I *finally* got around to finishing the paint job in my bathroom. We've been in this house for three years now, and I managed to get the entire bedroom, closet, and bath painted during the extra month we had before moving in. I never finished up the bathroom cabinets and baseboard, though. Well, I managed to get the cabinet walls and baseboard painted last night, along with the cabinet holding the sink. Tonight I'll paint the cabinet and drawer fronts, as it's a different color and I only bought one paint brush.

That will officially conclude the painting job I started 3 years ago. The walls need touch-up, as I made the mistake of using water-based paint in a bathroom, so the paint is literally melting down the walls and looks suitably creepy at this point. Eileen noted that it would have made for a very interesting effect if the background was black instead of white. Seeing the melty outlines in black instead of white would have been even more creepy, but worth keeping and not requiring touch-up.

In the meantime, I have Mr. Miyagi's voice in my head - "Remember, 'paint the fence'?"

Or in this case, paint the cabinets. Man, my wrists hurts.
