Chemical Slow Down
Looking for a new hair texturizer with unlimited styling possibilities and long lasting hold? Put away your fancy Aveda hair control granules with marshmallow and flax, cause I got a homemade recipe for hair gel that will have everyone at the office asking, “How does Johnny get his hair to look so good?”.
Simply take four parts drywall dust (freshly sanded with superfine 360-grit sandpaper). Add a generous amount of oil based primer/sealer. Now finish it off by twisting the tips of your hair follicles gently with a bit of orange peel spray texurizer (set to fine). Tada! Not only will you have manageable hair that you can contour and build into any shape Eero Saarinen could have imagined, but your hair will smell terrific.
This weekend I finally finished repairing and cleaning up this mess. I don’t even want to go into the amount of horrible chemicals that had to be dialed in to bring the bathroom back from its toxic surprise. Suffice it say that today I am feeling a tad under the weather and I have no doubt that even with all masks worn and safety precautions taken that the chemicals got the best of me. But it was worth it. The ‘greenboard’ water-resistant gypsum drywall turned out damn clean and square (if I may brag for a second), and now with everything pulled out of the bathroom and the walls a sparkling white, the ball is in the misses’ court to choose her paint color.
As I toiled this weekend, the metaphor that was continually with me was that of those Russian nesting dolls. You can’t complete one project without a bunch of nested little projects hiding underneath. But you never know what those projects will be until you uncap that first one.
Also, is anybody else watching that Breaking Bonaduce show on VH1? Man is that guy a train wreck. I love it.
