Shades of Gray

At my house, laundry is a task performed on a grand scale. Laundry in college is to laundry at home as the Erie canal is to the Panamanian one. While in college I divide clothes into whites and colors (sometimes, if I haven't done laundry in a while, I go crazy and separate light colored clothes from dark colored clothes), at home there are many more baskets devoted to laundry, and those baskets are put to good use. Each basket houses a different shade or hue, and the color differentiation is impressive and daunting. I have to be honest, when I sort laundry from a hamper at home I always have clothes where I am not sure what basket they should go into. Is an olive green light green or is it a dark green that should go with tans? These types of decisions are very hard for me: its hard for me to just choose a basket and I often instead take shortcuts by leaving the clothes I am unsure about in the bottom of the hamper I am clearing out. Call me an unthinking, spineless perfectionist but I am going to say it like I prefer to see it: sometimes shades of gray are off-putting.

Post about Lack of Posts

Hello,

Sorry about the lack of posts. A lot of it during the academic school year has to do with just being busy, but during spring break I can't plead the homework excuse. Some of not posting has to do with being busy enjoying other things (but when a noticeable amount of time spent enjoying other things consists of surfing espn.com and facebook it might be more appropriate to call 'enjoying other things' 'being lazy'). This would actually be my preferred reason for why I have not posted very often, but to be honest, a lot of the times I just don't have anything to talk about in a blog post at the end of the day. This is a bit disappointing as I feel in any given day I should have learned or experienced enough to make a blog post. Maybe I can go on a hot streak, and put on a good run of posts. I'll start with a couple of tonight.

Peace,
Dksays.
