See I didn't get to post yesterday but for a really good reason.
Yesterday was not what you'd call a great day. I woke up, and I knew that things were not going to go smooth. It was raining and I was groggy generally not too happy. So I went out, it was cold, really really cold, like 40s-50s farenheit. Bleh. Work was also not great, and lunch I had the worst Quesodilla I ever had. So that wasn't too great. I went back to the apartment chilled, Oren left to chill with Robin and the other apartment, Zach turned on Chaplin. The stove wasn't working, so Zach was fiddling with shit. I put my semi-wet clothing back into the drier, and all of a sudden the power for the entire apartment went off. This was not good, so we called Angela. She came by over half an hour late, and then when she was there she did absolutely nothing. She didn't call an electrician, didn't try finding out the problem, she said she'd try in the morning when most people would be open for business, and then was all "well this isn't America so we don't have electricians who can come by at eight". Then she knocked on the neighbors door and asked them if we could put shit in their fridge which was stupid since that would mean us opening ours and compromising everything else (which we told her). She troubles me, she is not competent and she is essentially the person who is supposed to be able to help me on this side of the planet.
So Zach decided he would chill with the other apartment, but I had not eaten yet, and going there would mean I don't eat for the rest of the evening. That being the case I went down to Cuba st. I was chilling there for a little while, looking for an open food joint, got some fallafel. About an hour later I call up Oren see where he is, he was eating at KFC then we met up on Cuba and chilled for a while. Got some ice cream walked around and just chilled it was pretty cool. We got back to apartment, which was near pitch black, and did more chilling just with Zach as well and we all went off to bed.
Today was considerably better, I couldn't eat breakfast here without milk available so I got myself a croissant and some weird chocolate milky thing at the French bakery on the way to work. Got there, did some good work today. Worked a spell on the Festschrift, started work on a book on New Zealand Mining. Also doing work on a few other poetry things, in general getting my name on lots of different things, doing some cool stuff. Also I got an invitation from "Her Worship the Mayor of Wellington" for a book launch in thirteen days that I'm going to, which was pretty cool. On the way back from work I stopped by the library, dropped off the last comic I took out, and picked up the first volume of Hellboy. Then afterwards Zach called asked if we were going out for pool, I said we would after watching an episode of Firefly, and eating. Came to the apartment, chilled with Oren till we finished food and The Message. We called Zach but he was busy getting high and drunk so Oren and I went to JJ Murphy's just the two of us. Oh yeah, and we suited up. It was really awesome. We came back and finished Firefly, and are now watching Serenity. Tomorrow I leave work early so I can go shopping, I'm bringing Oren along because I suck at shopping and he knows a thing or two about a thing or two. Also new comics should come whoo! (By the way the power is back)
