We have an interesting relationship: I carefully explain what I want, then he does whatever he wants. I’ve been trying to somehow get through it and just get the work done. I’ve already cut back on the projects I was planning to give him, but I’m not at all sure I won’t have to switch painters. He knows a lot, but he wants things done his way, despite my initial and up-front specifications. Sigh.WTH?? He's not going to be living there, so what's his problem?? He prefers to do things the way he’s used to. Most of us do, but I was very clear from the start that he had to use a special paint, due to my allergies.

I’m watching Tron Ares. I’m not overly enjoying it. But some of the action scenes are fun.
