Summer Week 11: Begin Cinderella Transformation

Fact of the day: I clean for fun.

Or maybe I clean to de-stress. In any case, I spent the majority of today downstairs, scrubbing the carpet in the basement. A few months ago, the house had some sort of plumbing problem and.. messed up the carpet, to say the least. It wasn't anything too bad, but we haven't had time/incentive to clean it.

Luckily, for my parents, I have the incentive to clean anything and everything during the summer. Reading and doing absolutely nothing on the internets only lasts so long. (I'm excited to post all of the books I've read this summer in a later post.) So a good five hours of my day was spent scrubbing the carpet and..yeah, you've stopped reading by this point.

However, you are reading this on your own accord, so in the hopes that people are still here, I'll continue. The two rules at the house pertaining to my cleaning are:
1. Don't talk to me. I'm irritable.
2. You must do whatever I say.

It's not as if I get annoyed while cleaning, but it's just extra energy I need to exert by being nice to you? That sounds rude.. But the second rule is there because other people won't willingly choose to clean, so because I'm doing it, you must humor me. :) Usually it's just 'get me a cup of water' or 'bring me a trash bag,' so nothing too ridiculous.

I regret not taking 'Before' and 'After' pictures of the rooms in my house which I've cleaned this summer. It actually would've been really cool to see.

Imagine that's me. Except I'm Asian and scrubbing a carpet instead.

A little over a month left until WM!! SO EXCITED. :)

Currently listening to:
"White Christmas" University of Oregon On the Rocks (what can I say? It's Christmas in July)

"It's a little bit funny.."

"Yeah, you would like him. You tend to like crooners."

This is what my sister said when I informed her of my latest music discovery. When I thought about it, I guess she's right. It's not so much what's being sung, it's how it's being sung. So the idiom about being able to sing the phonebook, yeah..he could do it and I would be hanging onto every word.

But back to the present; the guy's name is Cameron Mitchell. Check him out. Do it. I first heard about him from "The Glee Project" (don't judge). His style will surprise few of you; I guess you could say he's "my type." But his voice is just something special. If you can humor me further, go to his youtube page and listen to "Clarity" or "Stop This Train." Ooh, or look up him performing "Your Song," by Elton John or as I know it, from Moulin Rouge.

Okay, that's my pitch for him. He's the one on the bottom and one on the top is the reason I actually started watching "The Glee Project." His name's Damian McGinty and he's in Celtic Thunder, who I also listen to. But yeah, good guys.

So posting the picture straight to the blog seemed to work this time, but I've been trying to edit other posts that also have image links, but the picture never ended up being the size that I wanted, and I'm far too inept at script to do it right. =/ Haha, that last bit wasn't really necessary, but I decided to add it anyway. Hope you all had a lovely Fourth of July.
