Alone and Together (Day 277)

I have the next three days off! It was my intention to be as productive as possible during these three days, but my plans are so often completely pointless. The only thing that's set in stone that I plan to do is work on getting my vehicle insured, licensed, and the taxes paid for. Once that's taken care of, I probably won't have much money left. If it costs too much, I may have to put it off. I'd like to get it done right away though, if at all possible. I'm really appreciate of my uncle for letting me use his vehicle for the past few weeks, but I'd love to be able to drive my car again. This is not only because I'd have access to it any time I want, but because it's--well, it's mine. And that means something. Having something that's completely mine just makes me feel a little bit better about my life.

I also have a nice stereo in my car that supports Bluetooth--meaning I can play whatever music I have on my iPhone over my car speakers. For the past several weeks I've been listening to my uncle's Sirius XM radio on the only station I felt I really enjoyed on any level, Alt Nation. Most of the stuff played on that station is still pretty mainstream, but most of it is pretty listenable, even if it's not normally the kind of thing I'd seek out on my own. One song in particular has really stuck with me--a song called "Shark Attack" by Grouplove. It is super catchy. I've been considering listening to more of their music but I'm feeling lazy for now.

I've also had some half-baked plans for the past little while now to do some serious cleaning in this house. I just don't know where to start. This place is a mess, but I don't know how to deal with it. It's an overwhelming amount of work and I think some of the problems just aren't solvable. It almost seems more realistic just to make sure the place is livable. I wish I could hire a consultant to solve this issue--although I think such a person might just suggest burning everything to the ground in an effort to purge the area of filth. I don't wanna do that. I'm reasonably pleased with the way things are now or at least I'm complacent. I'm not surrounded my mountains of trash, but carpets need vacuuming, floors need cleaning, and clutter needs to be stored. I just don't know where to put this stuff or what to use--and I don't really have a very good vacuum cleaner. I really should enlist help from someone. Oh well.

My grand plans are most likely just going to devolve into playing a lot of video games and watching Bob's Burgers/It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia/anime. That generally seems to be what happens in most situations. I might try to play some more Final Fantasy X tonight or tomorrow, but I'm honestly more interested in Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden at the moment. I'll likely have some more to say on one of those games tomorrow afternoon/evening.
