We bought a roomba. It is adorable. It just spent half an hour cleaning the floors (I needed to empty it out once), whirring around and bonking into things like a small and somewhat stupid animal, then sang a little 'I'm done' song and put itself to sleep. Aaawwwww.

(As an added bonus, the floors actually are clean now!)

Today I need to:

* Finish up some work. Yay overtime!
* Clean the parts of the kitchen that are not the floor.
* Inventory my fridge, pantry and freezer, so as to eat the things I have before I buy more.
* Make a grocery list for the things we are out of. (Hopefully will make it to Uwajimaya this week.)
* Maybe do a little more sorting of my beads.
* Write.

Our roomba is so stupid too! It's fabulous, isn't it? Just wait until it eats something it shouldn't and starts singing its sad song.

It sang a sad little song today because it got stuck. (It crawled over the base of a chair but couldn't craw back out, so it went whirrWHIRRWHIRR *sad song* and I had to go rescue it.)

:D

It... sings?

What are its songs? Is there anything besides "I'm done!" and its sad song?

It makes a series of little melodic beeps, but given that it's really, really distressingly easy to anthropomorphize, well -- 'singing' doesn't seem so far off.

It has an 'I've woken up and am ready to go!' song, too. I think that's it. The wake-up song when it wakes up, the sleep song when it's ready to sleep, and the sad song whenever it gets stuck.

I love its sad song! I love its happy "I'm all finished and docked again" song too, but I hear the sad song much more often.

Unrelated to the main topic, but if the two of you go to the Uwajimaya in Chinatown during the week, let me know (I work across the street).

I want a roomba! I'm so tired of sweaping up the cat litter and cat hair that ends up all over the apartment... which apperently you now get to deal with too, lucky you! :o)
