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!
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.
Whoopsie. Note to self, always check the oven before turning it on.
Always.
I have an organized collection of music files here on my computer, but I don’t rip all of every CD I have for my listening pleasure. This means that I have a catch-all directory, and when I got done listening to some anime soundtrack selections I decided to queue up a few tracks out of “AllTheRest.”
A few. Okay, it totals three and a half hours of music, and it’ll give you an idea of the kinds of things I listen to:

Wendi and the kids have returned. The children are cleaning their room in anticipation of The Great Bunny Photo Shoot, and Wendi’s preparing for her impending DJ gig. Me, I’m chowing on Wheat Thins, drinking Mug root beer, and looking forward to lots of orange juice, corn dogs and chicken.
That’s right. We now how to live, baby.
After eight hours, I can safely say that I’m well on pace to manage another sixteen hours of this nonsense. It’s all for a good cause, right? Doing the right thing is where it’s at!
(Erica learned a pointed lesson just now. She offered to vacuum their bedroom’s floor, then decided she didn’t ‘want to,’ badgering Alex into doing it. So she pouted and got her way, then assumed she’d get to jump onto the Dreamcast while Alex did her chosen chore. Uh, no. Alex gets first crack at the gaming console, kiddo.)
(So now she’s in there vacuuming, having offered to do ‘the other half’ of the chore. Heh.)
What do you know? What’s going on around me really does provide a rich source of writing material. Imagine the hell outta that…
