You Know You're a Procrastinator When....

it's the first day of summer and you're struck by the feeling that it is time to undertake your spring cleaning.


Granted, until very recently I did not have any shelves or anything like that in my room so that all my things had to be in my closet, in boxes piled all over the room, or on the desk. Predictably, the room was a mess when that was the situation, but thanks to my overpriced Ikea shelves, I should be able to do better now. Or is that actually true? Ultimate tournaments the pas
t two weekends (Tour 1 with Burro Electrico and Windmill Windup with Johnny Chimpo) and the extra days I took for the bike ride to Windmill have left me with a very messy room once again.
Below you can see a "before" shot of my room, taken a few minutes ago. Hopefully by tonight I'll be able to post an "after" picture.

UPDATE: I completed the cleaning of my room almost a week ago by spending all Sunday cleaning furiously. I never took a picture, and now it;s somewhat messy again, although multiple vacuums and mopings have left the place much cleaner. As the Brazilian (my brother in law) commented: "I knew you cleaned because when I walked past your room, it smelled clean. You know, different from the rest of the house."
I'll try and pick up, then take the "after" picture this weekend.

Yet another month

Yet another month of what, you ask. Well, failure. Complete and utter failure. At least as far as this blog is concerned, since it has yet again turned into more than a full calendar month between posts. And this despite the fact that I have been steadily gathering material for a number of different posts covering such varied topics as work, ultimate, sports generally and the NBA specifically, group vs. individual dynamics, food, travel and politics. I’ll try and post some more in the coming days, particularly as ultimate is concerned: I’ve got some real highlights of the season coming up, and one of them will most likely be combined with some travel, the other with none. Confused? I’ll explain later.
And for those of you still reading not only this boring blog, but this ultra-boring housekeeping post, let me reward you with a great clip I found while aimlessly stumbling from one part of the interwebs to another:
