Home renos progressing nicely

Off

The kitchen cabinets are all in, and the granite countertop should be arriving on Saturday. The cabinet guy finally put the bar countertop in place and it’s starting to look fabulous. R couldn’t wait to start putting stuff away, and when I got home last night most of the booze was already stacked.

They thoughtfully put in a wine rack for us:

The sink should be in later this week. Right now, it’s quite conspicuous by its absence:

Once the outlet is rewired, the bar fridge will go in below. There’s a raised bar section as well, so we’ll need to get some tall stools that match the hot orange countertop:

This wasn’t all the booze. Turns out we were missing one more box of liquor bottles. These shelves are quite full now:

The only things left to install are some more tiki-themed knick-knacks, or maybe a bright neon fixture, and a “bar is open” sign.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
