Incompentence

I had the flat to myself last night, time to kick back and do what I want to do for a few hours. Bliss. I got home played my moves on wordscraper, smoked a joint out of the window instead of on the street downstairs watching the crack head that lives in the shop freezer opposite our front door and watching some scabby prostitute get driven in to the cul-de-sac provide her service than walk back out bandy behind the car that has just left her there. It was nice to get mellow without the (warranted) paranoia kicking in before hand. Now I feel yummy and dopey and ready to start preparation for the stew I will be teaching Mark to make tomorrow evening. So I choose a cd (Space age play boys), plug in the stereo-what is passing for a stereo as the one we were using broke a week or so ago. Put it in the unnecessarily complicated disk holder and look for the on button. Hmmmm, ok the play button might work. It makes the light on the display come on but only while I hold the button down. Git bugger, bugger git! It's a weird little contraption, sort of mini player and you can take a bit off to that it's a portable cd player. So I pull off the portable bit and look for an "on" button. Nothing doing. It has a battery slot, so I hunt around and find some double A batteries. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference; it still won't play. So I press every button on this thing, what more can I do? Absolutely nothing happens. I realise how reliant I am on Mark, I don't even know how to work anything that can make noise in this poxy pokey little flat. Grrr, I'm annoyed now.

I'm listening to music from my mobile phone in my kitchen whilst chopping up a swede-if that were capitalised it wouldn't be half bad, but it's only the vegetable, it used to be my favourite vegetable now I can't say it's name with out sneering it. I'm back here again.

The security guy called me angel again this morning. Funny how good "Good morning Angel" made me feel. I know you don't read this or even know it exists, but I want to say thank you for giving me back a smile. :)
