A Clean Stove

Sat, 10 Feb 2007 23:37:35 GMT

I admit, I have an obsession. My stove has to be shining clean, or it's a sign that I'm living too fast.

Cleaning a stove is a soothing process. Cleaning a desk means finding new homes for things, and possibly getting distracted; same goes for cleaning a bedroom. But cleaning a stove lets you think entirely separately from what you're actually doing, and you end up with something nice and sparkling clean to prove it. My bedroom can be a mess, my desk can be a mess, but if the stove's a mess for more than a week, then I'm much too busy for far too long.

I cleaned the stove today. It's been covered with stuff for over two weeks.

Now's not the time to catch up with everything that's been going on—Ari's new job, or my three jobs (one real one, and two contract jobs), or my schoolwork, or our trip to San Jose, or the projects we didn't finish before the trip, or how the apartment's a mess, or the swing dancing, or my mental state over all of this. No, that'll come later, if anybody is interested at all. Now is the time to use the weekend to catch up on sleep, and work, and homework, and mental stability.

Now is the time for cleaning stoves.

I'm still alive, in case anyone was holding his or her breath. And I'm up to a lot. But you don't get to know most of it. =P

Perhaps, someday soon, I'll write up some of the stuff I'm up to. But only if you're curious.

So I don't usually post, at least not here. But I just got back from the Gelato lounge, and did 3 minutes of stand up comedy at the school's open mic. There were like 100 people there.

I sucked royally.

But I'm proud of myself for trying, kinda. I said I was going to do it, and I did. So yay.

Two finals down, one to go. It's hard (Electrical Engineering 40) tomorrow (Monday) at 8:00am, but I'll see how I do. I'm worried about my GPA being sub 2.0, but we'll see when I get my grades back.

I've also ALMOST finished launching the DeCal site at www.decal.org, so that's one more weight lifted off my back.

Then I can go home, and dance, and work, and finally finish up all the CRAP that my life has become.

In other news, Jaimee and I were in a car crash yesterday (Saturday) at about 12:30. Traffic stopped suddenly, my tires slipped, and I rear-ended the SUV in front of us. Everyone's okay, but my car is far from drivable, and I hurt my wrist. And yet I still managed to make it to class for my 5pm final.

So, that's my life.

So yeah, I'm coming back to Santa Rosa to dance one last time (in a while, at least). So I'll see you this evening, maybe.

So, yeah. I'm sitting here in my room on Unit 1. I guess I'd better go before they close the Dining Commons, but anyway...I'm moved in! And I'll post some pictures as soon as I have some time!

Why don't I have time? Because my STUPID desktop computer died on the trip over, so I had to go take a 40 minute BART train over to Concord to get new parts, but now my computer's going to run faster, but it's still kind of annoying.

So I'm going to go do that this morning. I'll post more later.

Have fun, kids.

Hey everybody! I'm back on Xanga...at least, I'm back posting on Xanga.

Part of the reason I haven't been blogging is that I feel like I'm just so busy. I'm doing a lot of work...other than that, there's a movie group today, the fair tomorrow, dancing Friday, my mom's birthday on Saturday, Beach Blanket Babylon on Sunday, going to Marin with Meghan to see her Dad on Monday, hiking on Tuesday, and then we're back where we started. Crap, maybe I do have more going on than I thought.

So, I still haven't sorted through my England pics, and I still haven't gotten the pictures developed from my trip to SF last week. And I still don't go up to Annadel as often as I should. See, I'm getting depressed already.

Oh, but you should try downloading Google Earth (if you're not on a Mac, sorry Ben). It's fun. And free. Meaning I like it.

Thanks everyone. I'll post more later.

p.s.> Please check out the Fat Joe video below. I hate to call attention to the previous post, but just wanted to spread the word about the new Xanga video. I'll explain more next post, I promise.
