The first gets the cold… shower

It was not love. It was COLD.

As the water was dripping down his body and swirling into the drain, he was waking up. Waking up shivering. Waking up and shivering. Not what he intended, the shivering.

And he was realizing yet another difference between communism and capitalism. In capitalism you pay by the meter for what you’re getting. In communism you pay by the meter for how much you’re getting. These were his thoughts at six a.m. while taking his cold shower coming down to him from the hot water pipe. He was still in communism, obviously, he thought. “And also this is what you get for being first”, he issued yet another Simonism before he got sucked into making ready for his imminent trip to his lover.

The voice of experience

Remember my coffee-post? Well here is advice from a friend whom I have told the story:

Finally, my best advise is in general to drink coffee BEFORE handling the mobile. It not only prevents dropping it into coffee, but also minimizes the number of rude calls one makes in the morning. Likewise, it’s best not to use the mobile phone while or after consuming large quantities of alcohol. Again it helps prevent dropping the mobile into your drink (which is not good for your drink) and limits the chance of making a late night, drunk call to someone you might regret.”

Reverse logic

“…bla bla bla… . THAT’s my second point. My FIRST point is … yada yada yada.”

When you get it

“An equation is worth a thousand words, but I am not going into the details” said the speaker promptly jumping to the next slide. The people didn’t have time to show their puzzled little faces.

What’s up with the paper labels on shower gel bottles?

Are you trying to kill me?! I always manage to get the little buggers all over my body. And that’s annoying even for that short while.

Underground

What are you trying to say, Hamlet*?

Should you cry or should you laugh when your boyfriend calls you that?

* Hamlet, you know, the crazy guy

Socks-in-flops

I swear taking the subway is very revealing. Apparently the season is open all over again for socks in your sandals, flip-flops and the like.

Plus, if you are a true lady and have kept your purse, the fancy one! with big metal handles, in the rain, OIL IT! Otherwise it’s going to sound like you are carrying a big rusty door with you at every step you take, and I am going to crack up with laughter.

My doctoress was really happy to see me. I find that nice. But I also find that awkward. But then I finally find it nice.

I hate Smecta and trying to keep hydrated. Probably part of the strategy is prescribing me so many pills that I’d actually have to drink while I am medicating. I get bloated with anticipation of each pill.

Compulsion blues

Many many happy birthday wishes later, and I still think the day would have been better spent cleaning the house. Or rendering order in those piles of paper.

I am not built for frustration, but I experience it more often than I should.

As time goes by, it turns out I am more interested in feasible projects.

Related to all of the above, I did the laundry yesterday. Now let me find a picture for you.

Appy is going bye-bye and gay dating

Fair warning, there are two separate topics right there. Also I am not parting with my Appy, we’re leaving together in hour first e-honeymoon. I hear most BT operated hotspots are six pounds an hour. Sterling. Fucking. They want to ruin my relation with Appy, or what?!

The gay dating site is providing for the drama and amusement in my life. I know, it’s not much of an entertainment, but since I don’t have cable… One guy says “not looking for relation, if I were, I’d be looking for a relation with girls”. That’s sad, closeted, true, and telling. Another guy’s nick innocently states totalsm, like in Satu Mare. Like in sado-maso. Thats’s a funny missunderstanding.

OK, I have a couple of flights to catch, and a terminal to change in Heathrow. Heathrow in less than two hours? What were the travel company thinking?!
