Previous Vlog (Day 3711) | Next Vlog (Day 3713)

Stephen, Mallory, Dan, Roland, William, and Michael just finished having lunch together. Lindsey had to leave because she had a work meeting, but she told them that there will be a week where she doesn't have meetings. So, she won't have to leave early for meetings.

Back at home, they are cleaning the house. Stephen and Mal clean before guests arrive and after guests leave. They always clean the guest bathroom after their guests leave in order to have it ready for the next guest. Today, they are also washing the cushions and pillows on the couch since they haven't cleaned them in a while. They were planning on cleaning them before Nick and Paul arrived, but they never ended up doing it. Then, they planned to do it before Emile and Masae arrived, but that also didn't happen. The couch cushions and pillows haven't been washed since they moved into the new house. Stephen doesn't remember whether they had 1 or 2 couches at the old house. It has only been a couple of months, but Stephen has already forgotten the layout of their old house.

The Untitled Goose Game - "Une Oie" painting was sold tonight. This painting took Mal the longest to finish compared to all her other paintings, so it was a big deal for them to watch how the auction goes. They both know the person who won the auction personally. The person who won the auction is Lana who sent them a message saying to FaceTime her before they ship out the painting. She also told Stephen to make sure to film this call. Before they FaceTime Lana, Mal talks about how she has been painting the bottom part of the canvas. Whenever a painting video comes out, Mal usually hasn't finished painting the bottom part of it. She usually paints the bottom part in the time between the release of the video and the time to ship off the painting. This is why Mal paints the colors she uses for her painting in her notebook, so she can reference the colors later.

Lana talks about how they mentioned in the vlog that was released today that they wouldn't be able to enjoy the painting for long. But, they will be able to enjoy it for longer since Lana is giving this painting to Stephen's parents as a gift. She says that she had always wanted to do something for Stephen's parents since they are amazing people, but she had no idea what to do. Then, she remembered that Steve mentioned in a recent vlog that he is inspired by Mal's paintings and they were in the process of remodeling their room. So, she decided to get one of Mal's paintings for them. However, the highest bid was already hundreds of dollars, so she didn't have enough money. So, she contacted the High Heel Gang who helped her win the auction for the painting.

Stephen says that his parents will lose their minds when they tell them that the painting belongs to them. Steve will be especially thrilled. Stephen says that Mal has never been able to keep any of her paintings, so this is really great. He says that the "High Heel Gang" is the best name for a group of outlaws. Stephen says that he can already hear what his mom will say when they tell her: "No! No! They should've have done that! No they can't do that! No!". He says that they will let his parents know about this tomorrow.
