Creative Wish I didn't have to be.


This in fact is a picture of a system I was forced to devise due to the fact that my window leaks, and it was pouring. Mind you when I came home from work today i was slightly less than happy that my couch was all wet and my floor, and my books, and and and. UGH I did have a bad feeling due to the fact that I was wet even with my rain boots and umbrella. Having walked only two blocks from the bus. The point is that I freaking told them last month when we had a big storm that the window frame leaks. Not the actual window. The windows are not old at all so I'm sure they can be fixed with relatively little pain incurred to all. I guess my annoyance really started after I put some make shift buckets (i.e. a flower pot, two glasses, and a cake pan), by the window and the water was splashing on my on the couch. I tired to ignore it which as you might have figured only lasted about half a second. Then of course there is the issue of the dripping noise which was making me insane.
What I did thought is concoct a sort of funnel or ramp if you will to let the water run outside instead of inside. I guess its good that I hate taking out the trash otherwise the cardboard box and plastic that were sitting on my floor would have been gone, and it would have still be raining in my window.

I did it

I did make the laundry detergent about a week ago, and would like to let you know that it was a complete success. In fact it is way better than I thought it would be. It is not only cheaper than your run of the mill laundry detergent but it works better, and makes your clothes super soft 9even jeans) when you don't dry them. Not to mention you use so much less only 1 -2 tablespoons as opposed to the big scoop you'd normally use. Yes its dry detergent because the receipt for the liquid kind seemed like too much work, and for what as it turns out this on works great. It even is really good at getting out stains. And yes T its is good for the environment which is half the reason It tried it, as normal laundry detergent is not that great. Its even super east to make and only took about ten minutes. See I've decided to work mostly with green things that end up being cheaper that the less environmentally friendly things. It turns out that cleaning products are one of the best way to do such things. As it seems there is little that vinegar or baking soda can not clean. It kind of makes ya wonder why people when away from using all natural stuff in the first place.

in protest

the state of illinois has lost its mind I assure you. though im equally convinced that no one in the state government had one to start with. their new proposed law is to ban text messaging while walking. that's right folks while fucking walking. now texting whive walking can cost you 25 dollar ticket. why you ask because stupid people die while walking into cars while texting. seriously a little darwin survival of the fittest might be in order because if you can't text and watch where your walking and manage to get yourself hit by a car there really wasn't much hope for you in the first place. I am as you will note typing this on my phone while walking. haha sseriously the government of the state of illinois is a fucking joke.
