I spent 3 hours yesterday electric sanding the walls of the small bathroom in my home. What painful, joyus fun! I got to dress like a radio-ninja with my t shirt face mask and my very large headset (pumping a steady wave of Kpop thrue me ears). I used the Leedah drumming trick: putting earplugs in my ears to lower the outside volume of the sander, then pumping up the volume on my headphones so I could still hear the music. By the first hour I was OK, because it hadn't listened to all my Korean stuff for a pretty long time. By hour two, I was begining to feel the burn. Holding up that electric sander in such unfavorable painty-dust-filled-air conditions gets pretty tiring. By hour three I was a hot sweaty mess (in a radio-ninja outfit). Being stuck in that little bathroom, I started to get really hot (the sander creates a lot of heat; that day was especially burning too). Ok by the end of the third hour the ground is coverd with all kinds of paint flakes, dust, sheets, and I'm breathing hard because obviously radio-ninja clothes aren't good enough air filters. I think I'll finish the rest tonight.

Oh what a painfully joyus life I lead!!!
