bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored

There's nothing to read on the internet so I have to fill it up for myself.

I'm suffering my normal post Festival Flat and even booking for flights to Canberra to attend May Crown has only helped fill in the time for half an hour (one time unit, as Hugh Grant says in "About a Boy")

What now?

A virtuous me would be doing something like:

clean up my desk
sort out my finances
tidy the family room so Rose can play in it
sort out the kitchen so we can stop eating hot cross buns and jerky and make real food.
find my bedroom so I can get dressed on Monday morning
participate in the laundry process
etc

I'm not virtuous, I'm sort of pathetic.

I know the feeling. I've done the washing, it's all over the living room. Along with the sewing stuff I discarded pre-festival.

*yawn*

My Festival gear is all over the house and yard. I figure that if I sort out a box or basket each day I'll get it sorted by 2028. Soon enough. As my four year old pointed out - "You should do your school work before you sew."

*sigh*

I think I will go make a fire under my copper.

I am bored too, but at least you guys are all posting, which gives me something to read!

All I have done is rearrange my living and dining area and stuck my collection of festival tickets and other paraphernalia into scrap books. Oh. and have been to Safeway twice, because I didn't run into enough drongoes on the first visit.

I now have two spare pieces of furniture which I need to expel from the house, else my rearranging will have count for naught in my efforts to simplify.

And I keep shifting the world's most complicated (and now hated) medieval hood around from table to couch to table to bench and I suspect eventually, to bin.

Bugger that - go the movies!

Or go down the street and look for a chopping block in one of the Asian groceries, and buy me something nice while you're there.

Actually, some of that chewy peanut brittle would be good.

Thanks in advance.

Excellent plan!

we went to the Comedy Festival*. Nothing especially funny, but a nightout! Without Rose! Just the two of us!

*Chosen because he used to be in Showtime and I knew he was funny.

Your boredom mojo is seriously compromised by the words, "All I have done" followed by a list of stuff longer than I've done in the last 4 days.

Well done! And good on you for supporting up and coming comedians too. (Nice and cheap, aren't they?)

When do I get my peanut brittle?

[lurextoga.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, but my blog is called *Embellished* in Brunswick, so I could be making it up and have done absolutely nothing.

But I admit, I'm not this time, not even the bit about the drongoes. If it helps, I sustained a number of bruising and jarring injuries while doing the rearranging, and am now regretting it all. I should have just stayed still on the couch watching Monty Python.

I like the idea of the comedy fest. Low effort. I'll be doing that again tonight, with all my mates.

Funk

Bal and I fooped around last night thinking up ways to use the work Funk in relation to post-festivalness. Funk, Funky, Funkaleptic, Funkyisis...... you get it. And of course it ended up in "funk off". :)

I got the 12 loads of washing done, but now there's a massive pile of folding looming in it's new lair..... my living room. And the rest of my house? ....meh. I think it's time for instigating the five minute ritual again. (5 mins per room, per day. By the end of the week you have a nice neat house)

*funk* I'll do it later.

I had a totally pathetic day too. finishing with dinner with Miss D and then sleeping on the couch from 9.30 pm to about 1 am when I shifted to the bed. After 12 hours of sleep I may now be slightly awake. I may even get all the washing done today. Possibly unpack a few boxes. Buy curtain fabric. Read a book on the couch. Decisions decisions.

On a completely unrelated point

This festival I fell in love all over again with one of the pavilions in your campsite - it's the style that basically looks like a house frame - no guy ropes or anything.

I remember after festival last year I spoke briefly to the person responsible for this design and he was going to get me some details on the how-to of it all, but never did, and I never chased it up, and of course now I can't remember who it was.

Is there any info floating about on how to make this style of tent, 'cos I really, really like it and my poor tent has finally kicked the bucket after this year.

[doushkasmum.livejournal.com]

The red one was made by Rowan and Nicodemus (sp?) from Polit, the green one was made by Waldo to their design. E-mail me at doushkasmum at livejounal dot com and I can put you in contact with Waldo. The only tricky bit in the design is the welding of the pipes that form the joints for the frame.
