God Bless Mr. Dyson
We’ve had probably 5 vacuums in just as many years. This last one we bought at Christmastime, and it already broke. Stupid cheap vacuums. Anyways, we had friends coming over on Saturday and our house really needed vacuuming. I evaluated the situation, and after several months of trying to fix the dumb vacuum that we just bought, I said “forget it!! I’m going to BUY A DYSON!”
And I did.
And it rocks.
I don’t know how many of you out there care about your vacuums. I certainly didn’t until now…I went to Target at like 8AM on Saturday, bought it, brought it home, put it together, and the most amazing vacuuming experience of my life ensued. This thing is crazy. It got up SO much dirt! We vacuumed over about 2/3 of the house, and the tank was almost filled up with the dust/dirt. I was completely flabbergasted that our carpets would be that dirty, AND that this thing would clean so deeply.
I seriously almost vacuumed again tonight for the fun of it. Seriously. This is perhaps one of the best purchases we’ve made in a LONG time. I highly recommend without reserve!
And, in other news, I’m sick. Ugh. Back to work on Tuesday, though. This week is my office-mate’s last week before she moves to Merced. We’re ALL going to miss her a TON around the UG Registrar. Bye Erin!!
I’ve set myself on an arranging schedule, since I have 55 days left until my first orchestra rehearsal for the GALA (Concordia Univ, Irvine) and about 40 songs to orchestrate. I just put one of them each day on my calendar, leaving my some time to do copy work at the end and a little bit of a buffer zone in case I fall behind. It’s going to work perfectly–I’m very excited about my calendar, and this will help me stay on track.
Battlestar Gallactica is getting really good again. It went through a weird phase towards the middle of this season, but is getting back to its roots. The last few episodes have been GREAT.

My older sister raves about her Dyson too!!! I might have to invest in one…can I just vaccum my dog with it and skip the middle man?
BSG rules!!!
Our vaccum is broke too….hummm, Dyson, are they expensive?
I think you should get a Dyson toilet.
^^About as much as an 80GB iPod.
Ha, that was my thought exactly, Mike.
So Daniel, can I come over and vacuum your house?
… no, really.
We have to give Erin and hard time this week.
Seriously- I’ve thought about vacuuming about 4 times since we vacuumed on Saturday, and each time I’m like- Okay the floor is still clean. Just wait a little bit, ooh, I dropped some popcorn- I totally get to vacuum. And yes Debbie- very expensive.
^^Totally. Every time I see a little speck on the rug, I think, “OH! It’s time to vacuum!!”
We have a Kirby and I’m glad I have a good vacuum, too. I vacuum mattresses, furniture, the carpet, the wood floors, you name it. And it also shampoos, although I can’t figure out how to work it without my dad’s help…
You guys are so funny with the vacuuming thing. I’m not sure there’s a vacuum that’s good enough to make me WANT to vacuum. If only they could come up with something that makes me want to dust. Ugh.
How much was that vacuum? I’ve had some of your same luck–vacuums that suck everything but dirt and dust. They just SUCK!
you WANT to read what I just posted about Lost on my blog…
