To add to Bill's tips:

1. Use fabric softner on the wallpaper, simply sponge it on and let it sit for an hour, the paper peels right off.
2. Use a basecoat in the bathroom, Killz works best.
3. Get one of those little plastic "edge painters", my god those are the shizit.
4. Drink beer AFTER painting... not at 9am before you start...
5. Buy me a beer... just because.
