Evil is the eye of the storm

My powerbook has been acting up lately. It sometimes freezes at certain points in the startup and only after several reboots will it log into the OS. Dreamweaver has been crashing like nobody's business. Everytime I try to click on the properties panel to change something, it crashes. Even after getting the update from Macromedia does not help. Is it Apple or Macromedia? Or probably it's my powerbook that needs the overhaul. Too many programs installed. Too many of those 'just in case I need it'. Greed it is and I'll admit to that.

Now can't even start up a proper webpage to replace the old sticky 80s version. Money is at stake. Brand under siege. It's been two weeks, isn't our designer meant to get back to us with a draft?

The whole 80% of the downstairs is so flooded I am not kidding you. Evil this rain has it that our carpets mysteriously soak up water from an underground source. You know it didn't come in through the door or window when you can't see trails of it except concentrated pools of water stabs in the seemingly inviting green. Water must have seeped through the cracks in the afterhours of the swinging storm. The sound of running water between the walls last night was probably the process of attack. I hope we're not the only house here to experience something like that.

Wet carpets are depressing. I seem to allow it to depress me. Which is really stupid. But honestly, do you know how difficult it is to get a soaked through wet carpet to dry? It's like staining your pristine white shoes with rust! Yes, that yucky bronze prize! I have no idea what to do except the deep desire to want to sue the body corporate or the builders or whoever! The very least I'd expect is some guy turninng up tomorrow with some vaccum cleaner capaable of sucking this moist thin dry!

Did a third load of laundry just a few moments ago. At least the stain from the wet red rug in my room has been taken care of. That pre-wash soak and colour fast bleach does come in so handy. Having gotten hooked on whites lately in my fashion entourages, it was not very exciting to see my new CR polo pink-alized.

But all is well and good. Apparently my housemates also felt the sting and have informed the real estate agents. All will be well... I expect it!
