Weekend Update
Spent the whole weekend working on loft stuff. Early Saturday morning I dragged my new designer friend Julie to the new IKEA in New Haven. I borrowed pickley’s SUV to do it, and filled it with all kinds of stuff during a 3.5 hour shopping marathon. We spent almost as much time in the store as we did on the road. The rest of the day was filled with assembling furniture, hanging lights, and organizing books. I worked straight through the night and missed the Highrock Art House event.
Also, I worked so hard on so little food (no time to eat) that I got sick again. Or maybe it’s the same sick that came back with a vengeance. I have many theories on colds, one of them being that it’s a constant battle between your body’s defenses and the cold’s… offense? When you weaken your body by overworking it or not feeding it, then your defenses are lowered and the cold gains ground (body?).
During breaks I played Puerto Rico online. So far I haven’t met any players as good as lcshih, so I usually win.
Today I finished the book organizing and started installing bookshelf lights:
Working with the lights reminds me of food preparation. First I cut off the tails, then I pry open the shell… I need a sous chef.

Poor sick Ed. =(
feel better, dude. in my experience with being sick, i seemed to discover i could trade food for sleep. but if you neglect both, then you’re in for trouble.
you can use LED’s and very thick wiring to save money on electricity. I read that most contractors use the thinnist wire possible in order to save on up-front costs, but thick wire saves enough money over time to pay for itself rather quickly.
antlipups.. show me the math!
