If I could I’d give this an award for Best Blog Post Ever. It’s perfectly written – you have a way of writing that can not only make the most mundane things hilarious, but you also come across as someone who I feel I actually know. Considering that there is an ocean and several thousand miles between us and I’ve never met you in my life, that’s quite something.

Oh, and the table looks great.

Up yours, Barbara.

Daniel: Great find! I hate you. LOL. But seriously, I have been in your situation before. How do you get that perfect circle! Jig saws just weren’t cutting it. No pun intended. I finally bit the bullet and bought what they call a “circle jig.” It fits onto most standard routers. The jig was about $90. I already had a router, but you can find one at any one of the big hardware stores for under $100. You can create just about any size circle up to 4′ in diameter. Well worth the investment if you think you might run into this situation again. Not to mention making circle cutouts for wall decor is always fun.

OMG! So funny! Up yours, Barbara! Great job on the table. Makes me want to move to NY to do some thrifting! (I’m tired of the LA thrift stores.)

Being as it is completely uncool to tag or poke one’s friend’s nephew, I have to say your writing is just splendid & reminds me so much of janis. The furniture is terrif too, r u selling it Daniel?

Hilarious. You should totally turn this into a short story.

I was giggling to myself while reading this post until I hit, “Up yours, Barbara.” Then I started belly laughing. You’re too funny!

Oh, I laugh hard.
Very funny.

This is gold: “…The tabletop was almost laughably tiny and the intended round shape was never fully realized by my idiotic cutting technique.”

My first visit to your site. I’ll be coming back.

Thanks for sharing the shit along with the show. Sometimes trash is just trash, but sometimes again its treasure!
