i cleaned my desk today.

my cleaning habits i find curious. i'm not a neat freak, by any stretch, but i've noticed that i like to keep my messes localized. that's relaxed quite a bit now that i live by myself because i think that when i was living with other people, i always realized how irritating it was to step on something that belonged to a roommate, so i didn't want to inconvenience someone else by having to step over or on something of mine.

normally, i get really distracted when i clean up. going through stuff to get thrown out, i find stuff that's so inconsequential, but somehow peripherally interesting and i spend so much time looking at that stuff, thinking of what it reminds me of that it takes almost two hours to do something simple like clean off my desk.

i had a really good conversation with katie today, definitely the week's highlight. we talked about stuff we'd never really talked about before and went on for a while. it was good though, her perspective was really cool to get, it's definitely a friendship that's growing, which is a bit ironic since we seem to be closer now that we live across the country from each other than we were when we lived across campus from each other. i don't really do countdowns, but there's just a little over a month before i get to see her. that'll be sweet.

bone's interview went well, swimmingly it'd even seem, and now he's got a decision to make. i feel sort of torn, mostly because of the location, i'm not sure how i feel about advising him to move to iowa. in any case, him having a choice to make is better than him not having one.

stick to making tacos. . . that'll never stop being funny.

feeling: sluggish
thinking of: the vacuum cleaner
