I'm a Homersexual

"Girls, what talented singer wanders between you, the sweetest of them all, that makes you more gay?"

- Omero

Are you turned on by the epic poetry of ancient Greece? If so, you might be Homersexual* too.

OK. That silly interlude was just a catchy hook to introduce this little bit of craftiness I did yesterday while my building's hydro was out ALL DAY**.

My bust of blind, old Homer, with all his sexy hair, was pretty beat up - so I refreshed it with some funky spray paint. See before and after below.

Homer is the guardian of my radio mainly because there are super-annoying lights that flash behind where he is positioned and I can't tolerate them (or turn them off).

I found this stereo in the basement (free) and it serves its function (plays CBC) well but it's rather ugly. I'm thinking of deconstructing it and putting the remains into a smaller wooden casing with only an On/Off button and volume control. Nice and minimal.

But that's a project for another day... for now super-pink-homer will continue to stand guard because he cuts a fine figure and represents greatness.


Homie also fits well into this bell-jar I just got. Maybe if I ever do the stereo project, I'll move Homer in here permanently with a funny speech bubble or something.... we'll see...

* Just in case any family is reading this... I'm NOT referring to my brother-in-law who is also also named "Homer".

late edit: I just goggled "homersexual" and was surprised to find many other definitions for it via Urban Dictionary. hahaha!

** The power outage was a planned maintenance outage but it went 2 hours longer than anticipated. Oh boy was I getting antsy by the time the power came back on! When I could start using beautiful, yummy electricity again I realized I'm also hydrosexual. I like electricity A LOT!! It's really very awesome.
