Whoa, what’s with the new layout here for WordPress? They’ve changed things and I’m confused. 
Anyways, I thought I’d make a quick post & share with you the dirtiness that is Gael’s house. This house is actually his dad’s. His dad moved in with with my (ex?) aunt when they got married. (If you’ve forgotten, Gael’s dad met my mother’s brother’s ex- wife at church about a year ago and they got married in July 2007.) This house hasn’t been cleaned in probably… 3 or 4 years (Gael’s mom passed away a few years ago and there were only boys living here- with the exception of Gael who was in Norfolk in the Navy until early July 2007).
Anyways, since we’ve started going out (8 months on 6 April! 
) I’ve been helping him clean the house. It’s difficult to get a whole lot done what with being really busy with school and me running around trying to find a job (that’s right, I’m still looking for a job 
). A few weeks ago I was doing the dishes when I noticed the door to the backyard next to me. It was horrific. Covered in dirt and God- knows- what. Here’s some pictures I took:
Most of the door is cleaned by this point. The bottom shows how dirty it was with cigarette smoke and general non- cleaning.
Another view of the bottom.
A close- up of the bottom.
The top curtain which I late soaked in bleach. It came out white but we threw it out along with the disintegrating curtain rods.
Icky, huh?

Woah – at that mess :0 But good work on the cleaning! (Gambatte!)
Congrats on the 8 months anniversary!
BTW – I think you can make your own mod on the 120 to convert to 135, except I heard somewhere that it was permanent! D; So be determined that you want to make pretty 35mm pictures forever before you make the switch!
I just got the 35mm cos’ the places for developing the film from the 120 where charging a vital appendage per roll D; —> which makes jayne a sad panda!

Comment by Ys 9 April 2008 @ 6.54 amPoor guys, poor house. It’s already bad enough they’re men so cleaning is LOW on the list but to clean during hard times must have been even more impossible. Glad you’re around to help get some pieces back together now!
Comment by Jen 9 April 2008 @ 9.26 amEwww, I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes! I just want to grab a big hose and make it all go clean without having to contact anything with my hands. I don’t think all the bleach in the world can save your curtains, dear, I would have gotten out to buy myself a new pair too :D
