One the 18th December of this very long year (2001) I embarked on a first
for TON - the 'study leave'. Now - when most people think of study leave,
they imagine having a relaxing day at home doing sod all. However - due to
an almost endless Geography assignment and a typographic problem - I spent
almost the whole day doing work*. This article documents some of the
highlights.
After being woken by my mother at 8am - I proceeded to eat breakfast and try
to crawl out of bed - before txt'ing Robyn. However - overcome by the sheer
pointlessness of being awake - I continued to sleep for another two hours.
It was at this point that my mother fount my hunched in the corner and
decided to shout at me to stop wasting my time. So - I got up and wandered
around in boxer's for an hour - trying to find as many things as possible to
eat - until at about 11am - I decided that I should wash. After the shower
(11:20am) I was leaving the bathroom and I heard it. IT - the greatest
thing in the world - other than sex - t'was the machine.
Now after listening to years of 'rage against the machine' modern rock/metal
- you'd expect me to h8 the machine. However this machine wasn't the
government - or even power hungry bureaucrats. It was - the dustbin lorry.
Wow - I saw it drive up and park outside my humble abode - but not
forwards - backwards!!! For this reason - it was making the noise. THE
noise!!! Incredible - I didn't manage to get a recording - because it was
like a spaceship - and tape recorders ceased to function. My camera only
achieved this photo.
Ok Ok - so I forgot to take a picture. But it doesn't matter - we all know
what one looks like - and if you don't - then the chances are your either
blind, Lawrence wheeler, or blind.
But like I said - it was making THE NOISE - and it was something like this.
{Mock Michael Cain accent} "Caution - This veehical is reversing!!!" And I
can see now that you must be as excited as me. Unless of course your blind,
Lawrence Wheeler, or blind.
So - the day continued as b4 - only from this point on - until the rare
typographic problem 15 minutes later - I had a sense or prosperity and
joyful wander.
Yours truly,
Sesso Dio
