Mr. Clean

Yesterday, I purchased a Swiffer for the first time. I’ve yet to try it out but I’m envisioning a near utopian existence as far as cleanliness goes. You see, I’ve no vacuum. And I’ve got hardwood floors. So normally, I sweep. And every once in a while, I mop. But with two growing boys(cats), there’s a lot of cleaning to do. We’ll see how this goes.

I also tried that guitar game for the PlayStation at Flynn’s. Guitar Hero, I think it’s called. It was fun but frustrating. Because I CAN play guitar. However, I am no good at Guitar Hero. If you are no good at Guitar Hero, the rest of the band stops the song. Do you know how embarrassing that is? Even if it’s just a made-up cyber based band, it still stings. But I should have known I wasn’t up to “More Than A Feeling”. Like Alanis sings, you live, you learn.

Also, for those following along at home, I’ve yet to introduce Phase Two the Educating Roberto experiment. Phase Two is buying some wheat grass for him to graze. This weekend I am installing a range for the cats to roam. But I threw away ‘Bert’s eat blanky. He’s sure to be jonesin’ right now.

And finally, I’ve been reading some Sherlock Holmes stories again. And I had forgotten that the Case of the Five Pips is about the KKK. And I was curious if Gladys Knight & the Pips was like an allusion to that. You know, sort of twisting it. It would make sense. Her last name, and the Pips. In the story, supposedly, KKK dudes would send their victim some orange pips in the mail before they went after them. Must research this. V. fascinating. If true, Gladys Knight becomes even cooler in my book. If not, must mean Gladys and the boys just like oranges. Or maybe the Pips were short? Or huge fans of Great Expectations and C. Dickens? See how many questions this brings up?
