cleaning, and concerts

[low_delta]

I'm supposed to be cleaning the office. It's *really* a mess. And we're planning on doing a bit of remodeling, so at some point in the near future, we'll have to take everything out.

Here's how cleaning goes...

What do I do? Oh, my gaming stuff is all out. I should put that away. Oh, I should update my character sheet first while I still remember the stuff. *an hour later* This stereo doesn't really work anymore. *takes it to the garbage can* *comes back and cleans a few more things up* *finds a stack of CDs* Oh, I had totally lost these! I should put them away. Hmm, I'd better rip them to my computer first. Otherwise I'll never do them. *spends the next two hours at the computer*

Tonight, I didn't get very far when I found a couple boxes of my ticket stubs. Several years ago, I spent a while putting together a list of all the concerts I've been to. I have (almost) all the stubs, and back then my memory was better than it is now, but it still took me quite a whiel to put it all together. I had to make a few phone calls to friends, to figure out some of the details. Of particular importance were the opening acts. This was several pages. Within the year, I had lost half the sheets. And though the others aren't lost, exactly, I'm not sure where they are at the moment. So now I've begun a new project of logging (again) all these shows.

Don't tell Cyn, since I'm supposed to be cleaning the office. I'm going to try and limit my time on this, though. A half hour or so each night, for a long time, rather then a couple of weeks solid.

What sort of remodeling project, are you planning? Will you so it yourself?

We have a hodgepodge of desks in our office, so we're going to get a built-in sort of thing. No, I can't do it. But I do plan on doing some lighting work.

Hmmm. We have the same cleaning styles it seems.

Donald: Can I have a needle to sew my coat back together?

Ran: Sure, just help me with these canning jars.

15 minutes later:

Donald: I don't quite understand why finding the box we brought the last wine purchase home in helps in finding a needle.

Ran: Well, you see, the needle is in the attic, and if I'm going to get out the ladder to go to the attic I want to put away all the canning jars, and to do that we need to find that box....

Well, that sounds reasonable. What I did was only partly reasonable. :-)

I keep all my movie ticket stubs (I have them in a box but need to get an album to put them in). It's interesting to see how many we've seen over the years (we used to go a couple times a month, but not so much these days). There are other stubs from the Kodos Drummers and other cool stuff, but no concerts in a LONG time.

I have all my ticket stubs in three check boxes (like that checks come in). An album would be cool, but I don't think they make them with pages the right size.

I used to go to quite a few concerts, and Cyn and I used to go a lot of them too, but in the last couple of years, it seems we've kinda given them up.
