My last post was over a month ago. That one was a month and a half after the previous one.

I’m a total slacker. And I apologize.

I’m not sure what has prompted my posting laziness as of late. To be certain, some of it has been the number of nights I find myself walking in after midnight, getting ready for bed, and promptly falling asleep. But that’s really just an excuse. I guess the bigger reason is I just haven’t really felt like it. Nothing too amazing has been going on lately, and I haven’t felt the need to ramble aimlessly as much.

The other factor is the sheer number of distractions I have when I’m home. The apartment needs to be cleaned, there are recorded TV shows waiting to be watched on my media center, websites to search, friends to IM with, etc, etc, etc.

It would be fair to say I’ve been suffering from a distraction overload lately. Tonight was the first night I’ve been home in a while (or so it seems, in reality I was home last Friday and just chose to be lazy instead of productive). I enjoy going out and doing stuff with friends, but there really is something to be said for taking a break, getting some space, and just being alone. The state of my apartment hasn’t been helping either. I’m not a neat freak by any stretch of imagination, but things had just gotten completely out of control. The really frustrating part was I’ve been trying to get some cleaning and organizing done for the last week or so, and just haven’t made much progress. I really need a large chunk of time where I can get a bunch done at once. Otherwise, I get stuck dealing with the reoccuring tasks (dishes and laundry most notably), and never get to cleaning the bathroom, or filing my old bills (and paying the new ones…)

In that regard, tonight was a good night. I spent too much time running errands (picked up some parts at Fry’s for work, just in case I can’t get them from on-hand stock; dropped off five rolls of film at WalMart), so I didn’t get as much time at home as I would have liked. None the less, as soon as I got home I attacked the mess, and made some progress. It was very theraputic (even lint-rolling an entire bed sheet that had been attacked by one of my blankets, and was covered in lint even after two trips through the drier. Light cream colored fuzz all over a dark blue sheet. Ugh.)

Ok. It’s late, and I’m tired. I have more that I’d like to post, but it’ll have to wait. Hopefully not too long.
