The Difference Between Latex and Acrylic...

...absolutely nothing. Now, I'm sure I have some extremely opinionated painter somewhere who reads my blog and in a fit of fury tips over a can of expensive burnt umber oil onto an accurate reproduction or Breugel's Icharus. However, before tipping any umber you should be aware of the basis on which I am judging the two types of paint, namely how aggresively they stick to my hair. I recently finished sanding, finishing, priming, and painting the threshold of my front door. While it seemed exciting at first, the coolness of saying 'threshold' (sounds like something out of Star Trek) quickly wore off. I soon found myself bent over at odd angles attempting to belt sand something that despised domestic upkeep with a passion that can be compared only to...well as you can well imagine I'm waaay too tired to make ven half-way decent analogies. The point is that today was very housework intensive. In addition to painting the treshold, I also mowed our lawn and a few bushes (yes, with the mower). And the fun was not limited to just my house. Being a man who enjoys taking the initiative, I also took care of my neighbor's dogs today. At first glance I did not truly believe they were dogs. I suppose my views of dogs might be jaded a bit by my own dog, whose appearance is one that one would commonly associate with the friendly canine. These things were more akin to the disturbing result of some breeding mix up between a guinea pig and a toaster oven. They moved very slowly, had a lot of fur, and enjoyed to poop. Well, I earned myself a crisp Jackson, so I suppose it was worth it. Besides, I got kick out of watching them attempt to eat. When you're that size, Kibbles can be quite an intimidating sight.
