Miscellany

I just vac­u­umed the entire first floor of the house with­out using up even one spoon. Yay Room­ba! I’ll send it upstairs with shad­owkatt or curiousmay9 after it’s done recharging.

I planned to do noth­ing today. That’s a first for me. And I did try. I only did two loads of dish­es and five of laun­dry as a result.

Have you seen Google Schol­ar?

The Atlanta Freecy­cle list only allows want­ed posts on Thurs­days now. I looked through the mes­sages this morn­ing and real­ized that they were the only thing hit­ting the list today, so I went ahead and post­ed a few offers that I kept mean­ing to send to the list. Four down, two to go—I just need to make sure nobody in the house­hold wants the last two items.

I do love decluttering.

I can’t find the Shop-Vac. It needs a new hose, but I don’t know which size to buy with­out see­ing it. It’s prob­a­bly in the “hid­den room” off the garage—home of all things that don’t have an imme­di­ate use.

We rearranged the sit­ting room in a big way and changed the bed­room a lit­tle. I’m very hap­py with the results so far. I’m still seek­ing the right place for my craft draw­ers, though.

While paint­ing, I tripped over a cord and broke one of our bed­side lamps. I’ve nev­er liked the damned things any­way. They were just some that sam­bear had owned for years. Now there’s just one. While Sam says he can fix the bro­ken lamp, there’s no fix­ing the lamp­shade he stepped on while com­ing to my aid.

I watched Fri­da yes­ter­day. It’s not an “easy” movie, but it’s damned good.

Did any­one else find the tan­go scene and the scene with (I pre­sume) Josephine Bak­er to be sex­i­er than any­thing else in the movie? Why weren’t any of the scenes with men that hot?
