Clean the Feckin’ Garage
Today, I did it all.
I’ve been struggling recently with the fact that I have so many hobbies and projects that I’ve spread myself very thin and have been having a hard time getting anything finished. Not today. Today I started a project, finished the project and played with two hobbies - ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
It started this morning when I woke up and realized that, for the first time in months, I had nothing that I had to get done. I had no calculus homework, no job-work, no Christmas shopping, parent-sitting, tennis or any other obligations. The day was mine to do what I wanted with it. I considered spending the day shooting photos, cleaning the garage, cleaning the basement, building a new workbench, or finishing a book.
I decided to clean up and rearrange the garage since Dorrie has been unable to park her CRV without having to get in and out to make sure she’s parked all the way inside. Since I just upgraded the PowerBook with an extra 512 Mb of memory, I wanted to test out the memory and the Nikon controller software used automate my camera. What I ended up with after all of this was a time-lapse video (created with iMovie) of the garage-cleaning project. This was a blast to create. I’m going to do another one some time.
How much do I love the cleaning the garage movie?? And, you posted again! (without waiting a month). I’m so happy…
Good stuff. Me likey.
What if you could really do things in the same frame rate as this video.
You’d be super fast. You could become the worlds best pick-pocket.
I’d like to fly. Or maybe burn things with my eyes.
I must have too much time on my hands. I just watched you clean your garage. Pretty cool Mike.

How many times did you think “I’d better watch which way I’m facing” when you were bending over?
And I like the score as well.
