SALVAGE



Some notes...

Can't work on the other stuff. Brain-dead. Even TF stories are too hard to tackle. Might as well update.

Spent the morning cleaning my bathroom. There's a Miami Vice quote that I've always adored and that applies to me very often. It's something Crockett says to Tubbs after Crockett's wife was killed and he's beginning to pick himself up by cleaning his boat. I don't have the original so here goes what I remember:
I've cleaned, washed and polished. That's all there was to do. Cleaning, washing and polishing. - Sonny Crockett, "Deliver Us from Evil"
I've forgotten something below when I talked about the essentials I always need to have with me. KEYS. I carry with me my house's, my parents' house's and the seaside houses's keys. It's a coupla tons more in my bag, but otherwise I'd be forever sleeping on the doormat. That's how useful my memory is.

I WAS drunk already before St Pat's, even though I hadn't had a single drink. I've realized only a few days ago that the lovely cross-stitch pincushion Bro gave us all that evening says "LUCK". I thought it was a Celtic abstract design. Well, let's hope it works.

Another thing that distracts me is the latest Turret Defence game. I won't be satisfied until I've beaten the "hard" level. Funny how my favourite games on the comp are Turret Defence games, Escape the Room games and "kill monsters" games such as Doom 2 (as long as they are not too complex). I guess this says a lot about me. Then, of course, all the simple mechanical games such as MahJongg or Burst the Bubbles. They calm my mind. I've tried Sudoku, I've mastered the basics, but I have no patience for it.

For the second night in a row I've dreamed about the cats. It was a sort of nightmare - we had hundreds of cats, and I couldn't keep track of my favourite ones. Also someone was killing them and hanging them from walls, and I could not protect Pri and Fluffy and the others because I just couldn't find them. Tonight's dream was of the same quality, but I woke up all relieved that it wasn't true. Only, I wasn't really awake, because first thing I thought was "Polly is safe", and Polly, of course, is not among us anymore since 2 years. Luckily, in real life, we've had nothing worse than Pri gaining the title Primus "Worm-Ridden" McFluffy, and I won't tell you why in the event you're reading this while you are eating. On the other hand, Guthila has healed completely and is not the "$h!tMaker" anymore.
