Six colored pictures (all in a row) of a marigold

I keep at it, telling myself: "My philosophy-meandering should not be considered intimidating. Or profound. Or philosophical."

I wonder about the implications of stacking remote controls neatly on the coffee table without realizing that I am doing it. I am either OCD, or bored. Or both.

I have completed a phase transition. I can tell because I am now constantly cleaning and organizing my apartment. Cleanliness and organization takes priority in all tasks.

An unneeded wrapper or piece of foil can not be placed on the table until a more convenient time, no. It will be taken to the most appropriate trash receptacle at this or that very moment.

A blown bulb in my corner lamp? I am off to Home Depot immediately. 300w will not be necessary. A 150w bulb will provide more than 2,000 lumens, and that's plenty.

After the bulb is replaced, I get to bolting the two matching bookcases together. Into one bookcase which is twice the size. Of course, I will require bolts and nuts and washers. It's off to Home Depot!

When I get back, I find that holes will need to be drilled to facilitate bolt installation. It's off to Home Depot!

New holes make dust. Wield thy vacuum!

Later, I am slicing strawberries that have been in the refrigerator for nigh on two weeks. Most of the strawberries are covered in fuzzy mold. I found that I can wash off the mold, and cut off any brown parts, and the remaining bits of red strawberry are fine, and not tasting the least bit poisonous.

Though if I'm not heard from for a few days, maybe someone should send an ambulance.

Yes, it's clear I have become a homemaker.

Anchorman is the most comedy I have observed at the movie theatre in a very long time. There is no hope, without Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell, you are our only hope.

As an original purveyor of 80's thrash metal, I was impressed on a quick check-in with Slayer's latest. Here is a clip:

Holy shit. Are you kidding me?

Mister Araya is angrier than ever! They haven't changed in twenty years! These dudes are going on fifty!

Metallica is like two steps away from letting that guy from Matchbox 20 sing a song with them, and Megadeth is probably playing Dio covers at the Medina Canal Festival.

But Slayer... Slayer is still keepin' it real. I salute you, Slayer. God Hates Us All, indeed.
