'Cause I'm Neato
I've been doing some early spring cleaning this weekend and I've been dancing around the house to garage music a lot. It's all I can do to not throw things out the window, I'm so ready to just get rid of all my crap from miserable days past and just feel new and open and ready to start again fresh. It feels GREAT to purge all the old things I don't need anymore. And it feels even better to do it in a t-shirt and panties, with the window shades all the way up and sunlight coming in, screaming songs like this at the top of my lungs.
I wonder if my neighbors hate me now. But hey, I beat them, 'cause I'm awesome.
The song, by the way, is from the just-released CD from the Dollyrots, a band signed by one of the coolest women on earth, Joan Jett, on her Blackheart Records label. Go buy it, and stuff from all the bands on the label, because a dollar for Joan is a dollar well spent. I'm currently seething with jealousy because all of the Blackhearts Records bands did a showcase at SXSW this weekend. Hiromi, I hope you took full advantage, and maybe gave Joan Jett a kiss for me.

Ha! Yesterday, I finally bought some Murphy's Oil Soap and cleaned my wood floor with that instead of the lavender crap I usually use, and now my floor is beautiful and shiny and feels great under my bare feet. A small thing, but it made me feel really good. And I too cleaned in panties! I left the blinds open just enough to let the sun in.

Blimey, it's bright in here!
Must be something in the air, because I just cleaned my house too. As much as I ever do:

Oh yeah, I can clean damned near ANYTHING listening to that. I would look rather funny however, doing it in a t-shirt and panties though :P

Hiromi: Panties are the best cleaning clothing. It feels freer, somehow. If I had my way, I'd outlaw pants, at the very least. Heh.
Nikki: It's that season. I can always smell spring in the air. Literally. It always reminds me that I'm still an animal underneath it all. And look, instinct to build a new nest, too.
bella: See? It's an instinct thing. Want to come finish cleaning my place? I'm tired now.
Ryder: I dunno. Might be funny to you, but might be interesting to *me.*
