Cleaning Continues
Nov. 24th, 2001 12:12 amWhew...my room is beginning to look halfway decent again. Decent enough, in fact, that I think I'll put a few pictures up here. Hey, if
trasaric can log his sleep times, I can at least log the cleanliness or lack thereupon of my room. If having company is a compelling reason to make one wish to clean, well, maybe having virtual company will do it for me.
Yes, these photos are fuzzy. I'm using this cheapie little 100K "Yahoo!" branded digital camera, whose rangefinder doesn't always tell the truth and whose pictures are awfully blurred. But hey, it's better than nothing.

This is a new plywood chest of drawers I bought and put together. Had to go back for a hammer, and I maybe didn't get everything nailed together quite perfectly...but it'll do.

I've also put some shelves in, from the same manufacturer, to hold little geegaws and knicknacks, such as my unicorn figurine collection. It's actually two sets of shelves; they stack. Joe helped me put the second one together today. Most annoyingly, when I put the first one together, I accidentally put one of the shelves in upside down. It doesn't really matter too much, though. The stuff on top is going to need to be sorted out and organized sooner or later.

I've put three new stackable drawers between my bed and shelf, where a couple of boxes of videotapes used to be. These ought to be much more useful, and will make a better bedside table, too.

I'm particularly proud of how Joe and I organized this bookshelf, taking all the junk out of the middle two shelves and putting the books back in nice and neat. The third shelf up, where the stuffed unicorn is stuffed in place, had a big old nest of roaches hiding behind some books. Eww.

It's so nice to have a clean floor again. Especially one that's been vacuumed, thanks to the new Hoover.

Of course, there's still some stuff that needs doing. A couple of the surfaces in my room, such as the DVD and tape rack area on top of my dresser. As you can see, there's an awful lot of stuff there.

And I also need to straighten and organize my CDs--as well as the kitchen that you can see beyond it.
Okay, I'll stop inflicting the photos on you. There are a few more on a photo page on my website, though; if you'd like a more complete view at the room as it's been cleaned, or as is yet to be cleaned, that's where to look.
I'll try to rant on the idiocy of "Buy Nothing Day" tomorrow, when I have more energy for it.
