tonight in my apologetics class we were discussing the problem of evil. i have carefully thought about many aspects to this problem and have convictions regarding it, with the exception of the following issue.
vomit. that's as nice and as accurate as i can be concerning my feelings about the latest renovations having taken place in my abode therein. i don't think it was grammatically correct to use therein at the end of the last sentence, but it is one of my favorite words so bite me. anyway, back to vomit. it's kind of like the color of what might happen if a person were to eat cherry jello with lots of whipped cream and then look at our **new** kitchen. they would throw up, and the color of their vomit would most likely resemble the color of our kitchen. which is a very light pink. which, in and of itself, is not an evil color. i own a couple articles of clothing that resemble such a hue. but the problems with it are manifold in our kitchen. i don't know that much about decorating, but i do know that it is generally wise to stick with a color scheme that is mostly warm or mostly cool colors. too much mixing of the two tends to effect a response known in the scientific field as "ugly." i also know and happen to have very strong feelings about the use of more neutral colors in a room. wood cupboards and trimmings in the same room should be the same color. additionally, you should not have some appliances that are white and some that are off white unless they are donated to you. if you have a sink countertop and then an island in your kitchen FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY make sure the countertops match. please note that the reason i emphasize such rules is because currently they are ALL being broken in my kitchen. the walls are light pink, the sink countertop is light speckled grey, the island countertop is light speckled taupe. most of the cupboards are an ugly dark poo brown; the cupboards on the island are a lighter brown. there is a "window" in the kitchen that overlooks the dining area and today the trim around that opening was painted from dark brown to white. only you can still see the brown under the white paint. as if this weren't enough, the stove and refrigerator are ivory colored while the microwave and toaster are very white, not unlike me. it is a designer's nightmare. i tried to tell her. she didn't believe me. you know how you watch the really bad auditions on american idol and you think to yourself, does this person not know how much their voice makes me want to lash out irrationally? do they really think they can sing? well i wonder the same with my roommate. does she really not see how hideous the color scheme is in our kitchen? can you be color-deaf? let me know if you have an answer.
