Day: July 26, 2003

  • Getting the blood flowing.

    This whole “sitting in front of the computer and typing almost non-stop” thing is great, but I need to get the numbness out of my butt, the soreness out of my shoulder and some energy back into my body.

    If you need me, I’ll be wandering aimlessly around the house… on and off. (Okay, so I’m not going to get very far from the computer. This is ME we’re talking about here, folks.)

    What do you think, by the way? Is it working? Does it look good? Feedback, people, feedback! I’m workin’ in a vacuum here, and we know that all nature abhors a vacuum…

  • Houseworkathon

    I know what I’ll be spending at least part of my time on. Dishes, garbage and laundry.

    That’s right, folks. Do I know how to live, or what? I’d really like to get the damned houseflies out of the house, though, and given the pigsty that our house has become and given that I’m not leaving the house today… it’s a good match, wouldn’t you agree?

    Mind you, I’ll be drafting the children for some of it. Their room really needs a good-clean, and they can pick up the living room. Mwahahaha…

  • Another “occupy my time” idea.

    Oh yeah. Someone loaned me Serial Experiments Lain, and I’m only six episodes in. That’ll give me something to do for at least some of these little half-hour breaks, won’t it?

    What do you mean, you don’t think I’m ever going to get off my arse and do anything other than chat, websurf and check email? Well, I never!

    I’m not that bad. Really. (Right?)

  • La(y)in(g) around watching cartoons

    So I’ve put away the 7th episode of Lain, and I’m still not sure if I’m going to end up really liking or loathing the series. It keeps skating the edge of being really trite and annoying in its little routine of dancing around the plotline and being oh-so-mysterious.

    I’ll keep watching, though. Hopefully there’ll be foodstuffs arriving soon, so I can snack and watch anime to my heart’s content. Between housework, chatting and email, of course!

  • Getting a load off.

    What do you know? I was a productive member of the household for almost half an hour. I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, which also meant cleaning out the sink and throwing away all kinds of foodstuffs left out for the flies to graze upon.

    Next time, garbage. No, not Shirley Manson and company, sad to say.

    Also next time, pictures. Not of bunnies, sadly (still waiting for Erica to be home for that) but of what happens when plastic utensils are left in an oven when that oven is turned on by someone who didn’t know that dirty dishes were being stored therein. Yeah, it’s kinda neat but mostly just geeky.

    And it’s bloggable, which is what this is all about: Finding goofy things to fill 24 hours’ worth of entries. Yeah.

  • Death of a plastic utensil.

    Whoopsie. Note to self, always check the oven before turning it on.

    Always.
