Cleaning spree

Wow, just finished an hour and a half cleaning spree. I bought groceries today and they wouldn’t all fit in the cabinets as I would like. And I had been thinking about rearranging the stuff in the cabinets to be more efficient and utilize the space better. So, I figured today would be a good day.

I moved stuff around and put things away… And then it all looked so neat and organized, but there were still dirty dishes out. So, I put the dishes away. And then the counters were all bare and dirty. So, I wiped down the counters. And then the kitchen table looked messy, so I gathered up all the newspapers for recycling. And then the living room looked sloppy. So, I gathered up a bunch of miscellaneous stuff and put them away. And then I was putting extra detergent and shampoo away in our closet shelving unit thing and that was all messy, so I rearranged the shelves and stocked it like a grocery store. All the deodorants on one shelf, shampoo on another, hair things, medicine, contact stuff, etc.

Now my room looks messy because my clothes are all out. I need to go to bed…

 

Hiding in a briar patch on Huckleberry trail

So, I got no work done yesterday because I was so engrossed in this breaking news: Manhunt in Blacksburg. Synopsis: Guy attempts to rob deli, goes to jail awaiting trial. Gets hurt and is brought to the hospital. Overpowers deputy, fatally shoots a hospital security guard. Shoots another officer while on the run. Gets caught.

I followed the story on Fark, thanks to Ian, because there were so many people in lockdown on campus with nothing to do. So, of course they read Fark and update Wikipedia — *gasp* which has been taken down! Someone wrote up an entry for the convict and it was more up to date than the news sites.

In any case, the reason they thought he was in Squires and had to shut that down and have police snipers on the roof of the library?

A GIRL WHO WAS IN SQUIRES CALLED HER MOTHER AND SAID “I FEEL LIKE I’M A HOSTAGE”. MOTHER FREAKED AND CALLED POLICE.

Lady, what kind of stupid daughter do you think you raised? In a hostage situation, when given a cell phone, you think she would call you instead of the police!? And then you call the police diverting dozens of officers for over 3 hours? You couldn’t figure it out any faster than that?

Sure, I don’t know how accurate that story is, but he was never spotted on campus and Squires was still evacuated. Also, exciting news yesterday, some girl got locked out of her car and some guy ODed on drugs. Yes, I listened to the police scanner online. The capture was *awesome*.

EDIT: Wikipedia entry still there, just can’t search for him yet, I guess. William Morva.
