House arrest
It’s been about 10 months since I moved to this god forsaken city and last weekend, during a particularly jobless but stoned Sunday afternoon (Read usual Sunday afternoon) I decided to get myself a snack. Now a house that has 2 guys for occupants is not a house where one would expect to find a well stocked fridge, clean dishes, water etc. You might however find enough weed to tide you over about 40 days of rain, some beer chilling in the fridge and enough tobacco to get you through a weekend. And of course, tons of CDs, a couple of games, movies, a PlayStation, a TV and so on. But not dishes.
Right, getting back to that Sunday afternoon… now I wanted a snack and the dishes hadn’t been done. There they lay, in a greasy pile with droplets of water standing defiantly over layers and layers of oil. As I looked at the dishes I thought to myself, ‘man, I’ve been here 10 months and I don’t even have enough plates for two people!’.
What I’m trying to say is, I’ve got just one plate.
One.
For two people.
Of course I’ve been meaning to pick up more plates but ten months is just too short a time to go down to the store and actually buy the damn things.
And it’s not just the plates mind you, there are a lot of things that I’ve been ‘meaning’ to get done. Lets see,
A pillow (even a constant neck pain can’t seem to get me to buy that)
A spike buster (so I can fix my computer)
Someone to fix my computer (which I miss dearly)
My bike papers (I tried…)
Nails (hardware store?)
A new tyre (skiiiiiiddd……..crash!)
My drums (sniff…)
A few light bulbs (hot wax burns)
A new PlayStation joystick (It’s my turn!!!!)
Blanket (scratch that, it’s been donated)
It goes on.
So I shall desist, partly to save some of your time and partly because embarrassment has just kicked in. It’s not that these things are very expensive, nor are they hard to get. It’s just that they just don’t deliver these sorta things. Which will require me to actually STEP OUT and get them.
If anyone would like to contribute any of the aforementioned, well, do so. You’ll save me time and money.
And if you could just pop over and deliver it, that’ll be great.
