I walked into the Blind Eye last night to find somebody’s birthday party in full swing, had a swift pint and left to go home and listen to music, write, copy CDs, all the fun of the night in, you could say.
On arriving at the house I decided to test out my new printer, plugged it into the computer and… nothing. So I pulled the plug out and it exploded. The power is still off eighteen hours later and since the only person who knows how to get it fixed or even speaks Czech (Jacques) is away until Tuesday… well, there’s going to have to be some serious candles / cold food / reading / generally staying out and getting pissed to avoid the dark dark flat.
While I’m complaining, I should mention three days ago when my damn shitty IKEA bed decided to finally collapse on the floor with me on top of it, in the middle of the night. And then there’s the mysterious dripping ceiling.
I am hiding in the Planet@ internet cafe.

There’s dripping from the ceiling…

I too am hiding out in Planet@. But we have candles and matches – but oh – no toilet paper. Oh well, back to the bidet lovin’ I guess..
Re: There’s dripping from the ceiling…
Tis your karma for deleting dirty blog entries. :-P So did you get the dvd or was it lost in the marvel of the czech public service? – Dan
Re: There’s dripping from the ceiling…
I’m sorry, there was no entry deleted. I’m not sure exactly what you’re talking about there.
Anyway, ye, the DVD did get through. Terribly impolite of me to forget to thank you for that, but let it be so now. Much mirth has been had. Especially at the Barbara Woodhouse remix. Thank.
Re: There’s dripping from the ceiling…
… Considered applying for a job at the local Czech Minitrue? :-P
No worries, saw it one day and thought it’d be a good way to say thanks. Hope all is good.
