Paint and Bobby Sherman
Painting: Few things in life I hate more. In our old house, we had acoustic ceilings, and I guess I am one of the few people left on earth that still like them--nostalgia thing partly for me, we always had it growing up.
Anyways, before we sold that house, it needed painting inside. A roof leak, which I had fixed, left a brown stain on the acoustic ceiling--which had become dingy over time anyways. This was our dining room, which I would say would have been an average size of 14x16.
Because the ceiling was old, alot of the acoustic pieces came down as you rollered the paint on. In addition, it was such a dry surface that it sucked up the paint like crazy. Imagine this: You are painting with a roller---you can't use a stick because it flexes too much to put enough pressure on the roller, which you got to have. So you use just the short roller handle, and of course, you must be on a ladder. As you paint, pieces are launching off the roller into your face and hair. Your roller fills up after a few passes, and you have to get down and wipe the pieces off, or replace the roller. And you have to paint at all different angles to get the coverage to cover the bumps, or you can see spots of old paint.
The ceiling took 7 GALLONS of paint. About 5 hours of work. HORRIBLE! When I had to then paint the walls in a room the next week, it seemed so easy.....
Bobby Sherman: The last family vacation we had we went to Disneyland, I was about 16. My dad and I got seperated from my sisters and mom. So my dad let the couple behind us go ahead of us because my mom and sisters were right behind them. The couple was Bobby Sherman and a girlfriend.
I always liked Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy. I just thought they were cool. And what amazed me about Bobby Sherman is he looked EXACTLY like he did on TV. It was a long line, so basically I stood next to him for close to an hour. He was just polite and smiled and I tried not to stare. Of course my sister was tripping out, but we are not autograph hounds, and we left him alone. I can't imagine the autographs he signed that day, but surprisingly, no one was asking that I saw. Perhaps it was because it was the late 70s, and he was really hot in 1970.
