stormdog: (Tawas dog)
As I sat on the floor this morning eating my breakfast of hashbrowns with Louisiana hot sauce (I seem to left the ketchup bottle at work, but the hot sauce is just as good if not better), I had my laptop plugged in to my stereo downstairs. I queued up all the tracks from Enya's The Memory of Trees, whose use as cleaning-up-the-house music has almost certainly rubbed off on me from my mother. I had, however, entirely forgotten that, earlier this morning, I had had occasion to play a clip from the animated The Tick series, and that I had left Winamp on 'shuffle' mode.

So the first track of The Memory of Trees fades away in a subtle and mystical blend of sound, and, waiting in anticipation of more of the same, I was jarred from my eating by a growly voice shouting "So he says to me, you wanna be bad baby, you wanna be a supervillian? And I says 'Yeah baby yeah!!! What do I gotta do?' And he says to me 'You got bombs baby! Blow up the comet club!' and I says 'Yeah baby yeah, cause I'm the EVIL MIDNIGHT BOMBER what BOMBS at MIDNIGHT!!!!!"

*giggles* Had I been standing up, I would probably have actually jumped a foot in the air.

But as far as the cleaning goes, things are going pretty well. I have the computer room and bedroom mostly done. They're going to need another pass to finish things up and organize, but that will be true for all of the rooms. The stairs are done and vacuumed. Now I'm going to work on the entry way and living room. At least, until [livejournal.com profile] todd_riverden and [livejournal.com profile] serinthia are ready to go out for pool. [livejournal.com profile] wooisme and I were over at their place on Thursday and they suggested that as a possibility for Saturday afternoon. Since Moira is down in the city today I'd be looking for something to do anyway, and I've never actually been to a pool hall, though I have played with my grandparents' table when visiting them. They assured me that this one will be mostly smoke-free on an early Saturday afternoon, so I expect it will be much fun.

Oh, by the way; that was a really pleasant way to be woken up this morning, Moira. Thanks. *smiles*
