This is getting out of hand

Despite my best attempts at exiting the frame I find myself once again stuck in a box and swinging a paint brush. This must stop - it has become tiresome and now rates highly on the torture-ometer. As a form of torture it may well be over take being forced to listed to Barry Manilow on a loop while sitting on a rusty garden implement as rats nibble on one's nipples.
Well, I don't recommend my escape strategy: If you end up sick at the ED and spend a couple of days recovering mostly in bed, the painting remains when you crawl out, and the only thing accomplished is being three days behind on the remodel. Just get it done. :-/

all this sounds way too painful. great shot
March 27th, 2015  
Most excellent comp!! I was named after a Barry Manilow song. Isn't that awful!!!!
March 27th, 2015  
A great shot Graeme...
March 27th, 2015  
Great shot... despite the torture!
March 27th, 2015  
Mmmm, I am with you on the Barry Manilow loop. At least you are half way back now, Cool shot :)
March 27th, 2015  
Love this shot!
March 27th, 2015  
Love the composition in this
March 27th, 2015  
If you're painting, the project must be coming to an end? Love this composition. Fav! :-) Good luck.

@melston Ugh, you poor thing..I'm cracking on as we speak ;)
@brigette It is, it is. I'm almost at the end of my very long tether.
@amandal You poor, poor thing ;)
@tonygig Thanks very much :)
@monty147 Thank you kindly :)
@hermann I'm almost at the halfway point. I have no idea what anybody else in the house is doing.
@lsanderson55 Thank you so much :)
@rachelwithey Thanks very much indeed :)
@jetr I'm almost half way - there are parts that need painting before I can go any further. Sigh.
March 27th, 2015  
Do we get the other side tomorrow? I really like this. You look quite attractive given there's only half of you, or is that why you seem attractive. I guess you'll not be pleased with that comment as you get your highs by scaring your friends!
March 27th, 2015  
@shepherdmanswife The less you see of me of the more attractive I get...it's the story of my life
March 28th, 2015  
@graemestevens I don't agree. I wasn't attracted one iota to the escapee eyebrows!
March 28th, 2015  
You know, you're not half bad looking... on a good day - and in a certain light. Oh, go on then... have a Fav.
March 28th, 2015  
you look so normal - in that "I am quite evil" sort of way - not half a good looker either hahahahaha
March 28th, 2015  
Glad to see at least half your face has found it's way back together. This is very nice, and a fav. I think a version with the other side of your face coming of the left edge of this shot would be cool too. I'm not demanding or anything...
March 28th, 2015  
Well, this is intriguing. There's no fire, no blood, nothing looks dead, you even have a shirt on... I'm not convinced this person is you.
I'm with @shepherdmanswife and @annied ... you look normal and vaguely attractive, not sure if that's in spite of only seeing half of you or because we're only seeing half of you.
March 28th, 2015  
@ludgate hahahahaha well said Megan
March 28th, 2015  
@annied Really, @shepherdmanswife said it first. I was just agreeing. Hehe. So true though.
March 28th, 2015  
@shepherdmanswife Everyone likes their plushness...don't deny yourself ;)
@vignouse Thank you kindly...unless of course by "certain light" you mean complete darkness...
@annied Oh stop, you'll make me blush ;)
@888rachel Good lord, a woman who isn't demanding? Whatever next? ;)
@ludgate I've never been called intriguing before...how delightful. As for the "vaguely attractive" part...gee, thanks ;)
March 28th, 2015  
Love the composition!
March 28th, 2015  
@graemestevens well just in case one day you want a little colour :)
March 28th, 2015  
How did your left eye brow allow this,
March 28th, 2015  
Sam
This half of your face looks tired! I hope all that painting isn't killing you :)
March 28th, 2015  
What an image you paint! But in this shot you look half normal!
March 28th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Only half...
@gigiflower I'm knackered (not literally of course)
@jack4john I think it's staging a revolution as we speak!
@kwind Thanks very much :)
@annied Highly unlikely ;)
March 28th, 2015  
@graemestevens phhttt yeh sure - I've seen it in your vicinity
March 28th, 2015  
Oh, MANDY! Great shot! ;)
March 28th, 2015  
are you maybe 'ready to take a chance again'?
March 28th, 2015  
Cool use of negative space!
March 28th, 2015  
@susale Thanks very much :)
@juliedduncan Thank you kindly :)
@northy Maybe, maybe not ;)
@annied I still don't know how that happens...
March 28th, 2015  
Give me a paint brush before Barry any day.
March 28th, 2015  
@andy3168 There is that...I should be thankful that there's no evidence of Barry yet
March 28th, 2015  
Nice shot!
March 28th, 2015  
@graemestevens must be one of those strange anomalies that occur in wormholes black holes and the like
March 28th, 2015  
Ooops-what happened?U look so serious here:)
March 28th, 2015  
I was going to say something about barrying manilow, but didn't.....
March 28th, 2015  
@mhuntphotography Thanks very much :)
@annied I prefer to explain it with "and the like"...let's leave some mystery shall we?
@joemuli The paint brush happened...
@blueberry1222 A wise move all things considered
March 28th, 2015  
For what it's worth, this is a great selfie. A lot better than sitting in a rusty garden implement :)
March 28th, 2015  
@karlow75 I don't know so much - after all the painting I've been doing I may well be tempted to take a seat!
March 28th, 2015  
@graemestevens mystery it is - and it keeps your penchant for dark holes under wraps hahahahahahaha
March 28th, 2015  
I trust the other half is a happy man.
March 29th, 2015  
Is it wrong that I cringed more at the Barry manilow than at the nipple chewing rat?
March 29th, 2015  
@annied Steady... ;)
@yaorenliu Not yet he's not...
@deak68 Nope, I feel the same
March 29th, 2015  
@graemestevens ah wonky - sorry lol
March 29th, 2015  
@annied I'm feeling magnanimous and shall forgive you this time
March 29th, 2015  
@graemestevens phew - now I can relax ( well continue actually )
March 29th, 2015  
I can't believe that nobody else has said this (maybe they were too distracted by your "vague attractiveness"), but you look like you painted yourself into a corner!
March 29th, 2015  
@panthora Ha! I see what you did there! ;)
March 29th, 2015  
March 29th, 2015  
Must be a pretty big room, or did you let here pick black? I heard black needs many coats. ;-)
March 30th, 2015  
@eyeamlisa It's a huge room, 6 meters by 5.4 metres...and she's gone for white on 3 of the walls, which I thought would be easy until I started to see all those imperfections...
March 30th, 2015  
Ah, gotcha. Well, good lunch either that!
March 30th, 2015  
Oops, *luck, but maybe you need a lunch break?!
March 30th, 2015  
@eyeamlisa I need both thanks ;)
