This weekend I am at home and I am on a cleaning tear. Maybe I am just in one of my many manic phases and I will get through a million things, or maybe I'll just get drunk. Either way, i have so many things to do and i am wasting time here. Go figure. What we'll do for attention, eh what?

Anyway, everyone hates doing chores. These are the chores i hate doing but still must get done:

shine shoes - pending
press shirts - dropped off at cleaners
dusting - pending
flip mattress (it's new) - done
change bedding - pending
beat rug - pending
put away winter clothes (thank god!)- pending
throw away bric a brac - pending (any takers?)
feed the goddman cat - ????

There are others to be sure, still what chores do you all hate having to do?

Somehow, I picture you as Patrick Bateman... not physically, but more in the wall street serial killer sort of way.

haha. I never have to shine shoes! I always laugh at my father when he does them. It looks the most dull job ever. He's amazing at it, after decades in the army!

Ironing-boring as fuck. Don't trust me with ironing.
Putting stuff in the dishwasher-okay, it doesn't sound like much of a chore, but hey.
Unloading the dishwasher-I know you all know what I mean.
Changing the bedcovers- I'm incredibly lazy.
re-wiring my guitar-I hate doing this.(More laze)
emptying the 'trash'

I only iron when I need to, same with doing laundry. When I clean my room it usually takes about 3 or four rubbish bags, so maybe I should do that more often...
Guess I get off pretty easy then

haha same as me about the rubbishbags. I always have a lot of newspaper cuttings all over the floor etc (Now I sound like a serial killer!) and waste paper takes up a lot of room.

Are you really supposed to flip new mattresses? I just spent a shitload of money on the cheapest one I could find and I don't want to have to buy a new one until sometime in the year 3000.

Feeding the rabbit--good, because he is very appreciative of it.
Cleaning my room--full-on ugliness
Cleaning out my car--see 'room.'
Unloading the dishes from the dishwasher--okay
Laundry--okay

Are you sure tsukikage doesn't mean 'moon'? My Japanese is so poor but that sounds kind of familiar.

So kind of the opposite of moonlight. Sorry.

Moon shadow is a cool concept though.

Cause she's an irratic psycho. You don't want her to have your number in her possesssion, man.

And it's not king of the hill. He has a teaching certificate and like eighty bazillion degrees, but for some reason he likes truck-driving. Go figure.

i'll tell. this once. a drinking buddy of mine was assaulted by one of his students. the school did nothing. the student laughs at his teacher and threatens to harm him. my drinking buddy resigns and is now suing the board of ed. this is true.

still, i used to be a substitute teacher at my high school while i was in college. the easiest 70 bucks a day i ever made.

one kid in a spanish class thought it would be funny to make paper airplanes and sail them around the classroom. i asked him to stand up and come to the front of the class. i told him to tell us all why paper airplanes fly and if his answer was satisfying he could throw them all day long to his hearts content. if he didn't wantto explain or if his answer was insufficient i told him he would go to the dean of discipline, mr.v. he opted to go directly to mr. v. i didn't have much trouble after that episode.

He couldn't tell you why they fly?

I mean even in basic terms?

I'm not a physicist, or for that matter allowed to leave the house without my helmet, and I think I could at least BS my way through that.

of course it's a white. what do you take me for, a witless rube?

do not for one single minute deign to tell me what wine goes with what food. riesling is a traditional accompaniement to rabbit. rabbit is white meat, too, by the way, or do you consider pork a red meat, you aussie dunderhead.

just a heads up, i can only have red wine with red meat purist, i keep the bible on my night table, larousse's gastronomique. it's all there. white wine with rabbit, white wine with cheese. think outside the bun.

d-deh-dunderhead? I was only trying to help! *starts sobbing*
Rabbit is a white meat? Whoah. ok.
And if I was cooking, which I can't so I won't, I'd go for a roasting in a sweet sauce, with some boiled carrots (cause who doesn't love a good irony) and a dessert wine. Then again I'm more likely to just make a dinner of subway cookies and vodka+redbulls.

apolgies, loki. i am a sensitive reactionary in general, but when it comes to food i am mercenary in my reactions. i mistakenly thought you were challenging my metier. no worries. i'll take my meds.

additionally, if i am ignorant of a preparation, a food product or whatnot i'll admit it. i am a gastronome. that is my life's calling. it's just a shame i can't make any $$$ of of these god-given talents.

still, you're not far off. when i lived in germany my host family prepared rabbit in a riesling sauce with shallots, champignons and carrots as my going away meal. wow! the thought of how good that was makes me drool.

the chore that sucks to me the most is unloading the dishwasher. i *HATE* touching dishes when they come out of the dishwasher. this doesn't bother me when, say, they've been washed in the sink...i think its something about the cascade detergent on them or something. like you know that dawn commercial where they rub their thumb against a glas to show how clean it got? i have to leave the room. to me that sound, and that feeling, is like fingernails on a chalkboard. euughhh.

i know, i'm weird.

I take care of the dogs. Feeding them, picking-up after them, bathing them, walking them etc.

And frame why do you even do some of that stuff? Packing winter clothes? Shrink wrapping sweaters? I keep all my clothes together folded, undfolded, piled yet still somehow looking neat.
