Exaggerating Rumours

Sunday, March 20, 2005

I hate plumbing

I was supposed to take part in Neurocam Assignment NTC 6421/01 today. I woke up early, despite my hangover, and prepared my things to move back into my house after spending two weeks looking after my sister’s house and dog. I had everything prepared and ready to go when I made a last minute decision to use the toilet. Wrong move. Toilet was blocked; 5 hours later...

You've no idea how pissed off I am. Not just to miss what sounded like an extremely interesting assignment, but also to have spent five hours trying to clean up a mess never destined for civilized suburbia. The toilet is still blocked, so a nice surprise for the newlyweds to come home to.

I'm supposed to see Dave Mathews Band (or as I prefer, the Carter Beauford Band) tonight at the Palais but I don't know if I can be bothered. I'm simply in the worst mood, a kind of, "why is this shit happening to me?" (literally) mood. Sorry for anyone who didn't make the quota for this assignment, if only I had a way of contacting you, you could have taken my place.

One thing that puts bad moods into perspective is the movie Hotel Rwanda. What a movie. Beautifully made, wonderfully acted. Can't recommend it enough. My problems are zilch.

  • I was thinking that there was room for one more...

    It's a shame that you missed it.

  • I trust, Xade, that you'll be filling us in when the cone of silence has been lifted. There is no reason to be coy, let it all out.

    And you've no idea the amount of cursing I leveled at the world during assignment toilet cleanup. At 10:30, when I doubted whether I'd be able to make it, I began swearing at traffic I hadn't even given the opportunity to cut me off yet.
