Oops, I didn't realize I hadn't posted in 5 days!! A few things have happened since last tuesday. We have mostly been busy with a new painting!

Bought a reproduction of Van Gogh's Starry Night from eBay. We have been thinking about getting a good painting to hang over our fireplace and I liked this one.

Anyway, after spending $30 on the painting itself, we set to work trying to get it framed. A quick visit to the right stores nearby told us we would have to do it ourselves. Just having them stretch the painting would cost us $60 - it wasn't worth it. So we bought the stretcher bars, stapler gun, frame, clips, wire and set down to work. We found these instructions adequate. A couple of hours spent on the canvas means we now have it framed beautifully. Will try to upload a picture here for you to see.

The weekend was mostly quiet. We had dinner at Rajesh Parikh's on saturday. Had some excellent gujarati food and a good evening. His daughter Nikki is very friendly and cute.

Watched Green Bay beat the SF 49-ers on Sunday.

Finally watched Gladiator last night. Its more than 18 months since I bought the DVD. Don't ask me why. :) It was a good movie too.
