In Which I Get A PS2 / Saturday, February 05, 2005
Hello!
Well it's been a fairly busy week. I've spent most of it waiting for my PS2 to arrive. I'd better tell you about that before you think "Tsk! He's been busy playing on that. That's why he hasn't written anything in a while." It arrived on Thursday. It was broken. The CD drawer doesn't work. You can imagine the roller coster of emotions. I come home, see the box sitting outside our front door, run up and unpack it all happy ready to play Simpsons: Hit and Run.... And then I try and put the game in. Woe is me! So anyhow, now we've got to send it back to the bloke we bought it from for a refund. Once we can afford it we'll actually go out and buy a new one (Ash paid $120 for this one, and they cost $150 new and it'll have extra gizmos, be cooler and thinner and we'll have a warranty on it, so it's worth the extra 30 bucks) Oh, dinner's ready. I'll be right back.
Ok I'm back. Ash invented some kind of fancy food. It was very tasty! Anyhow, as I was saying erm... New PS2. That was pretty much the end of that wasn't it?
On with a new paragraph then. What else have we been up to? Oh our new bed arrived. It's very comfy, which is a shame because it makes it harder to get up for work in the morning! We bought some fancy sheets as well, they're 400 count, and they were only $50 for a whole set. I know that probably means nothing to most people, but Dianne will be impressed!
We're broke at the moment so we figured it would be the best time to go and look around Ikea (no money means no spending, just like going into a casino without your debit card) so we did some window shopping, made a list and worked out for $1500 we could (and will!) pretty much furnish the whole apartment. Apart from sofas and stuff. They're kind of pricey there and there's many other cheaper places for that kind of stuff round here.
Apart from all that stuff it's just been the ol' rat race for me. I got lost in DC a couple of times... I've decided that the the closer to DC you get the more confusing navigating your way around is. Reston or Chantilly: No problem. Arlington and Alexandria: "What do you mean I can't turn left anywhere along this road?", "Oh so you're a one way street, just like it doesn't say on the map!" etc. Iknow I keep mantioning this whole thing, but it is basically what's going through my mind most of the day. Apart from laughing at coompletely unfunny things (eg."Laurel street. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"). It's amazing what you'll do when you're driving alone isn't it? I hope I'm not going mad. I don't think I am but isn't that the first sign of madness? Then again maybe I do think I am as the last sentance just proved. Oh babbling, I spend a lot of my time babbling to myself too. Just like I am now. I'm kind of stuck here I don't know how to end this paragraph now. Oh hold I can do it how they do it in Law and Order. DUNG DUNG!
Mother's flying in on Wednesday, which quite convieniently turns out to be my payday. I figure I'll take Wednesday afternoon off, work Thursday so mother can get over her Jet-lag a bit and then I'll take Friday. Monday and Tuesday off so we can spend some time together. Maybe I'll be able to take some more time off later, but I'm dealing with things one week at a time. Ash should be able to get some time off, so I guess we can take mummy-sitting in turns. The odd day though I might just have to give her a lift to the metro in the morning and wish her the best of luck. DUNG DUNG!
Well that's about all I've got/all I can be bothered to write right now. Tune in next week for more completely uninteresting things. Don't go away, there will be a preview of next weeks episode after these words from our sponsors.
Drink Beer. Scientists say it's good for you
(warning: Scientists don't actually say it's good for you unless they're actually drinking it)
Eat fish. They deserve it. There's too many of the little f**kers anyhow.
Buy something off us. We've got a funny advert. Look at the Funny kids! Seriously though: Buy something you cheapskates!
Don't eat at Mc Donalds. All their burgers taste like butt.
On next weeks episode:
blah blah blah mother's here, blah blah blah traffic is still rubbish, blah blah blah remember what I said about me going mad and babbling too much? blah blah blah blah blah
/Hopped!
