The truth about paintstrippers and other similar devices.

No folks, just a weak metaphor. There's nothing about DIY to be found here... ok so maybe in future when I actually have the cash for real renovations. Anyway, moving on.

The events of the last few weeks have left me somewhat bewildered. Why you may ask? These events will have to remain unknown for the time being, since there's a small part of me that still clings to the notion of 'bad karma'. You know: that too much elaboration now might somehow have a negative affect on my good fortunes. Annoyingly cryptic I know, but suffice to say that these events have rather successfully managed to strip away several stubborn layers of ingrained cynicism with surprising ease. I will say this: the windfall is largely due to one person in particular - and a very pretty one at that.

I hope it stays that way for a good long while.
