Ever had one of those 24 hours where it seems the universe has got it in for you?
I was doing some general internet things yesterday, settled in for an afternoon of getting crap I have to do done. Shifted in my seat and spilled coffee all over my Blogotron 3000. Actually it was just over the keys left of T,G and B, nevertheless I still freaked and made squealy noises. Didn't seem to do any damage and those keys sure look a lot cleaner than the rest of my computer. But fuck.
Hmmm...what if I did lose my Blogotron? I'd have no camera, no laptop, very little music, nothing to watch DVD's on. It would suck but I can see benefits.
Yesterday after I rode away from this cafe I decided it was exploring o'clock and so I let the roads be my guide. Actually, I was kinda following a hot laowai for part of it, but after I lost him, the roads were my guide. I should have stuck to stalking because it all ended in tears. Maybe my Beijing Betty was angry cos I bought her the cheap shitty tyres. Maybe she was pissed I left her out the front of a cafe too long, maybe she finds anthropomorphism irritating, but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned....and basically, long story short, I tried to jump up a gutter onto the footpath to avoid a street sweeper and didn't make it. I stacked my bike right into the gutter and fell pretty ungraciously infront of a group of toothless ol' guys playing mahjong. I picked myself up like it was nothing, like hey, i do that all the time, that's just how I roll. But I came up in bruises almost straight away and I think I've bruised my kneebone quasi-seriously.
I got home and drank some tasty alcohol and took an afternoon snooze on the couch. That was pretty awesome actually. I don't know what I'm complaining about.
You win some, you lose some.
photos of impressive bruising up soon.
