Takes a lickin', still no tickin'


It's already 6pm and I just consulted my list of things to-do and I got nothin'. I did work a bit on my fellowship application today and looked up dentists in the area, but no can do in the tickin' off the list department.

I did clean much of my apartment today (including the overflowing sink of dishes) and turned my vacuum over to pull the fuzz out of the brushes. I don't know what got me thinking about pulling the cover off, but when I did the belt came off in my hands. Oh, I guess that's what's been making that horrible noise.

So before taking a little time out to see Sweeney Todd, I biked to Kelly's Sew and Vac, which is now called Party & Vac. Yes, I agree that's bizarre. I went down the aisle of Hawaiian stuff and graduation decorations to the back and picked up a #7 for my Bissell. Now I just need to figure out how the heck to install it.

On my little biking adventure I considered all of the possible status updates for my facebook profile. I think I decided on "Hope Mirlis audibly pants while biking in the wind." It wasn't until I left with the new belt that I felt my bike's tires and they were both just about our of air. After the movie I stopped by one of the million bike shops in town and filled up my tires. It was amazingly easy to ride home. I believe my new profile status will read, "Hope Mirlis feels like a dumbass."
