3rd of July

...so now it's July, and I'm committed to writing three posts a week, and it's late Tuesday, and I have very little to say. Oh, well, you know my motto, "when in doubt, make a list." Things I should be doing:

• Finishing up my self-paced online music appreciation class that started in May and ends Saturday. I, um, just took the midterm. But hey, I got a 95! Specifically:
• Completing classes,
• Researching the vibraphone,
• Writing a “concert attendance report” on the opera I went to last week,
• Writing two other short assignments
• Finding a dentist. Part of my tooth fell out last night.
• Cleaning my house in anticipation of the family who will visit soon. Specifically:
• Making the office inhabitable for me.
• Putting away the clothes that are on the bed in my room.
• Cramming the costumes back into the costume trunk in the guest room.
• Tidying the living room.
• Going to the dump. Trash pickup here is so expensive, but not having trash pickup involves actually remembering to go to the dump at a time the dump is open.
• Making dinner.
• Going to the bank.
• Going to the drugstore.

Things I have been doing instead:

• Playing with the dog I'm dog-sitting.
• Feeding the cat I'm cat-sitting.
• Reading an old Danielle Steele novel in the interest of keeping said cat company.
• Playing video games.
• Watching the Seven Up series (which, no kidding, if you haven't seen, you must)
• Watching crappy TV with much less redeeming social value than the Seven Up series
• A little bowling (not very much, seriously)

So, yeah, I should get back to that top list. How about you? What's new?
