Huffs and Stuffs

I am in a proper aul' strop right now. Went out to Foodtown earlier grocery shopping, and when I got back to my building, I'm pretty certain that when I pulled my keys out of my back pocket, I also inadvertently yanked out my tobacco. I was vaguely aware that when I did it, my keys felt like they caught on something on their way out, and it was only an hour later when I quite fancied a cig and went to my back pocket that I twigged what had happened. Needless to say, the packet was well gone by the time I went back to check. Raaaage. Seeya later, $18.

The rest of my evening has also been spent pretty low, actually. For some reason, some fairly ancient history mooshed up with some more recent has been buzzing around my head for a few hours, stuff that still feels surprisingly stingy. This realisation has taken me aback a bit. I think it may be because I never felt able to let on to those involved just how hurt I was, for various reasons, and the time for that has well passed now. I think this is what has me low now; a sense of loss. It won't be how it could have been.

It wasn't all Doldrums and despair though, I swear; today also saw me get a library card (free books! 3$ week-long DVD rentals!) and do my laundry, so almost all of my clothes are clean.

Other things of note:

  • All Blacks lose to France in Dunedin. Carolyn re-realises yet again that she is not built for drinking on School Nights.
  • Not only is our pool table missing a cue ball, but also now the black and a colour.
  • Vegemite commerical in the Railway Campus! John the actor and the exploding Vegemite gobstopper...
  • A litre of Jameson's to kill the cold. Seems to have worked.
  • Getting up to pee at 6.30am and finding a tired looking Alex in my living room. He and Steven were running a Jamaican shower, it transpired.
  • Star Trek in Imax FTW!
