We were walking by a liquor shop, and we spied this in the window. And we thought of Minty, and we thought of Gabe.
Rah’s favorites are the plain crystal ones at bottom.
Sorry about that, Tumblr. I was not blogging from the right blog. I think it’s time for me to think about real food too.
8:33pm
Rah continued to work as I went to recombobulate. When I came back, the Boot had become remarkably Boot-shaped:
Rah’s in very good spirits. The drilling and screwing and caulking has been falling together fast. 
These parts were put together as I wrote up the last post. Here’s what’s happening now:
The window frames are caulked and setting…
The door has been hinged, handled, and its lock has been put in,
Rah is a doofus,
And one end of the boot has been completed. Rah tells me she’s slowing down a bit for the night but before she goes, she would like to get the door, inside panels, and roof on. That would leave only the sink, windows, wheels, and paint job for tomorrow.
She has NOT eaten yet, save for cookies and chocolate and grapes. And she does make the convenient argument that she didn’t really get started today until noon. So I am going to go make a dinner run and bring something hot back for her while she gets back to drilling. She has requested a microwave pizza.
Microwave pizza it is.
7:20pm
Last night, Rah hit her biggest wall of frustration with the missing drill-bit. Today, I hit mine when we learned that the Boot must be colored in a bright and merry way, and therefore a clear design for the painting job must be made. I had misunderstood the conversation unfolding in front of me between Deberah and Rah as an official approval of the goldfish design she had whipped up during our plane ride over. 
What had actually happened was Rah showing that she’d had some ideas in mind, and Deberah telling Rah what kind of color scheme we could expect the boot to be living in during the convention. And so the task of designing what would go on the Boot had been left in my capable hands.
…HUH?
I just want to put it out there that I look like a lesbian steteotype and I’m attracted to big tough macho looking guys and I found a big tough macho looking guy who is attracted to women who look like lesbian stereotypes and I’m pretty sure that’s proof that there is someone for everyone who is looking for someone out there somewhere.
Ian, you will find her someday.
Bootstrap Homes: Re:Boot! Live from NY -
Bootstrap blog is live!
I’M DOING A THING. AND GRAHAM IS TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT IT.
(In related news, I’m in New York, and Mom, I am SO GRATEFUL you told me to concentrate on the Bootstrap build and do publishers and portfolios another time. I would be going bonkers right now if I were trying to do everything. New York is overwhelming as it is.)
