The Domestic Aietradaea (minus the cows)

[aietradaea]

10 things that Aietra has learned about being domestic and self-sufficient:

1. Lint, dry mud, hair and those little tissuey bits from leaving tissues in one’s trouser pockets can be effectively removed with a hairbrush.
2. Nothing can be effectively removed with a hairbrush if woollen socks have been included in the wash - they fly off and are then sucked straight back on by the static electricity, along with all the little tissuey bits that you brushed off last week.
3. Little tissuey bits do not, in fact, just kind of go away if a carpet is not vacuumed.
4. Nor does anything else.
5. Dry cheerios do, in fact, leave residue on a bowl.
6. Residue from dry cheerios is impossible to remove after a period of approximately a week.
7. Your biggest storage space is the floor.
8. If you eat garlic for tea, change your pillowcase the next morning.
9. Junk food can be remarkably sustaining if enough of it is consumed.
10. Woodlice are the perfect roommates.  They will put up with whatever music you listen to, they eat the mess made by your pot plants, and I swear they telepathically encourage me to wash my hair every now and again!

Wow...can't believe I've been here nearly three weeks.  Feels like hardly any time at all...

(And I've only listened to Comfortably Numb twice in that entire time!  I underestimate this song...)

Eep.  Ben's never heard OVO.  Right, I shall have to do something about that before it's too late!

Your life is incomplete until you've heard OVO.

Mind you, that's what I told him about Lord of the Rings and WALL-E.  And that's what he told me about 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars.  When will our lives be complete?!

Hang on - people spend years studying philosophy to try and answer that question.

o.O ?
