Oct. 17th, 2007 12:26 amAfter work, I went to the paint store on Long Beach Rd. across from The Men's Wearhouse, where I got the suit for whenever I had to go to court, and Oceanside Conservatory of Dance, where I took tap lessons for a brief stint. The place, Weinstein's Paint Store, has a sign in the window that says "Wallpaper Sale!" with an exclamation mark and everything. But the only wallpaper they had was in the fifty or so sample books. The guy said their other store does the wallpaper. Which is weird because of the sign and all.
Then the girl at CVS, across from the Oceanside P.O., said I could get a utility knife at Staples, across from Mt. Oceanside, where the girl with beautiful eyes told me no they don't carry them. So I got one from Ace Hardware in Island Park, across from a topless bar called The Bear.
I like the Island Park Ace Hardware even though I've only been there today and yesterday. I might make it a go-to place for when I need a place to go to. The girl at the register flirted with me, which wass a little awkward but nice.
So wallpaper will have to wait for a bit. In the meanwhile, I cut the carpet and laid it down to see what it would look like.
It's not glued down yet and I didn't bother to trim the plastic hairs or pick off the loose bits, but that's how it's going to look. The color is kind of dark and I'm not 100% sure I like material, although the shag does leave more room for error. But it's not glued down yet, like I said, so there's time to switch. I might end up getting the wallpaper from this website; the "Marie Antoinette" design looks nice. But I want some real texture to it, so I'll try Home Depot when I return the Dremel.
When I was a kid my neighbors across the street were the Tramantanos, parents Bob and Lilly, sons Rob and Chris, both older than I was. Bob was a really cool dad. I liked him a lot. One day he took me inside their house and showed me the miniature house he was working on. It was a highly detailed, multi-bedroom miniature house with a shingled roof that looked like the shingles had been affixed one at a time. I can't remember exactly how old I was. Young, probably 3rd or 4th grade. Bob was a hobbyist, a real handy guy and it seemed like he was home all the time. I don't remember what his occupation was, though truck-driving and Belmont Raceway come to mind. I think Lilly made most of the income, working in real estate. The Tramantano's lawn was so perfectly landscaped and their backyard, small as it was, had an in-ground pool with a slide. They had a Corvette in the garage.
I don't know what happened to Chris or Rob. I was all right friends with both of them. Toward the end, Chris rode a motorcycle. Bob and Lilly moved to the Berkshires a few years ago. That was disappointing. My mom still has a picture of me taken by Lilly on their front steps dressed up as Groucho Marx one Halloween. She framed it and gave it to my mom. The funny thing is I trick-or-treated alone that year. Like without my parents or friends or anyone.
Plus I had never seen a Marx Brothers film.
