Still Busy
As I mentioned earlier, I am not teaching summer school this summer. I am taking a well deserved rest. But that doesn't mean I am not busy. Egads! Since I have all this time, M is like, Well, now you can do the things you've been meaning to do for the past... 5 years! Like pulling out the shrubbery in front... or changing the toilet seats and plungers... or fixing the hole in the drywall... or CLEANING YOUR DESK.
Yes, I am a slob. It has taken me five days so far, and I am almost finished with cleaming up the area around my desk. Man! What a pain. It is amazing what you can accumulate when you are in the habit of just stacking papers and shit on the floor. I found graded finals from Spring Semester 2003! But it is a bit neater now, and I am surpised at the room I have to stretch my feet when I lean back.
Anyway, so far, I've trimmed most of the shrubbery in front, although I still need to pull the roots of the over-zealous azaleas. I have changed the three toilet seats and two plungers that needed changing. The dry wall is another matter. It is a hole in the ceiling and I find my coordination rather lacking. But I will try one more time, when I feel a bit more up to the task.
Besides that, I have been watching my J-dorama as usual and find myself unusually addicted to it. Last week, I thought I'd try to watch some American movies and rented six DVDs from Blockbuster, including A History of Violence, Harry Potter, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Derailed. While I enjoyed watching them, I found myself trying to watch them quickly so I could hurry up and return to my beloved J-dorama! Curse this year's seniors! A pox on those who have awakened my weakness for sappy Japanese TV shows!
*sigh*
Oh well, back to housework...

I've pretty much given up on trying to cleanup my desk. It's a lost cause.
A History of Violence was... interesting. Harry Potter was good only in the sense that you got to see book four on screen.
Now that I think about it... I think the strain of all the chores in the summer will probably make you appreciate being in the office again all the more this fall.
Sometimes, cleaning is very satisfying because there is concrete evidence that some work was completed.
but then again, moving around keeps u healthy so i am w/ m on this one!
It FORCES me to clean.
In reponse to a post you did about what our favorite entry was, it was when you write about your mom. It's sooooo moving and interesting.
Haha.. a man of similar heart. *pats pile of paperwork near desk*. =P
