my vacuum sucks

properly. finally. it had been useless for a bit (i'd rather not say how long, but too long). basically, i would push it across the floor and it would spew extra dirt/dust etc onto the carpet. it actually made things worse! so i went out to my patio and took it apart to get it figured out. (i only cut myself once in the process, so i'd say it went pretty well.) turns out there was a clog in the one tube thingy. it required that i jam a dowel into the tube with lots of force to get it free. ick. i was pretty much covered in dust, but got it back together and now it sucks again! yay me = ms. fixit!
