Reason # 20014917 why re-minisce thinks living alone is better than living at home :
- sleeping in late
Sleeping in late is a luxury afforded to most people on weekends. Unfortunately, the nature of re-minisce's job means that even these are no longer sacrosanct. However, once in a blue moon when he's lucky he'll get public holidays off. These are moments when re-minisce is free to go out late the night before guilt-free, and then wake up the next morning in bed at an hour of his body's choosing.
Or so you'd think.
Having managed to finally tune out either one of his parents'
1) blundering about at 0630 hours, tripping the burglar alarm which is apparently a daily ritual of "forgetting" to turn it off before opening all the doors of the house
2) opening the door to re-minisce's room - dunno why they do it, but they always do it. One is beginning to suspect it's all part of a conspiracy.
3) breakfasting at 0730 hours which involves clanking plates and pans together. Naturally since the kitchen abutts re-minisce's bedroom this can be rather disruptive.
This morning I slept through all of that, since I'm still ill, and I had a late-ish night last night.
The phone rang at 0830 hours. It was one of the parent's early-bird friends.

My upper respiratory tract infection has spread downwards now and turned into a pesky cough instead, ensuring its survival for another four days. I positively loathe viruses which are devious little things, first infecting the nasal mucosa (route of infection) and then ensuring that as you slowly swallow your mucus you spread it downwards towards your lungs. Nasty little buggers.

There was a pretty funny mix-up on class 95 yesterday evening; I wonder if anyone else caught it?
Radio deejay - ? was it vernetta lopez? was narrating a piece on the 'O' level biology paper controversy (apparently an eleven mark question had an erroneous graph, shock horror, gasp, salacious gossip, stop press, hold breath, scream, etcetc. with feeling.) and here is one victim, Mr (name), a schoolboy. cue audio clip :
(grave voice)
"Here at the ministry, we believe in abstinence, rather than condom..."
(cut)
"Oh, haha, we err apologise for that little mix up.. errr um"
(cue music)
Heh heh heh.

The Incredibles was simply hilarious. Two thumbs up. :)
