hmm. i only have five days left to do my taxes.

bother.

here are other things i haven't done yet:

  • catalog and organize my dad's family pictures so that we can make copies and return them to my aunt, his sister, in kansas.
  • finish entering the notebooks full of my grandma (mom's mom)'s cousin's genealogical research into my geneaology computer program. (like probably half the people alive of european descent by now, i seem to be a direct descendant of charlemagne. via the hills of tennessee, colonial virginia, and younger sons of english royalists.)
  • catalog and organize our family home videos, in preparation for transferring them to DVD once i get the proper equipment.
  • look into preserving my grandpa (dad's dad)'s old home movies, hidden in a closet for almost thirty years due to fear of damaging them by handling/screening them any further. also due to fear that they may already be piles of disintegrated celluloid.
  • sell, give away, recycle, or throw out all of the things that i own but do not need/use. including my boxes of papers and junk from college. and grad school. and the years in between. and before that.
  • WRITE, REGULARLY. SOMEWHERE BESIDES HERE.
  • wash and wax my car.
  • buy the album "seed" by afro-celt (aka afro-celt sound system).

    that'll do to go on with.

    about 3 pm
