Bruce's journal (original) (raw)

So, anyway, stuff happened this weekend.

A nice policeman woke me and Makali up early on Friday morning and was therefore forced to deal with me topless and Makali, who had unfortunately just put his trousers in the washing machine, bottomless save for a pair of boxers. Combine this with the original policeman who checked my flat being met with a floor covered with dildoes and suchlike and you can probably imagine what was running through this guy's mind. However, he was appreciative of the printed out list of stolen items I gave him and tried not to look nervous so he probably would have won 'Good Egg of the Day' if it wasn't for the lovely female

SOCO who dusted my door for what turned out to be earprints later in the day.

If only the loss adjuster my insurer had appointed had shown up on Sunday as scheduled, I might have got everything to do with the burglarly sorted in one fell swoop - but it was not to be. I still haven't heard from them regarding a new appointment. However, insurance money or no, I went out and bought myself an XBox, SSX3, Whiplash and Project Gotham Racing 2 with XBox Live starter kit (my XBox Live username is 'Growfybruce'). Everything else I must wait for in case my insurer wants to buy the items themselves rather than simply give me the cash.

Other than that, I spent a lazy weekend with Makali and Shinji, went to the comedy club adjoined to my local (Makali and I built and host the pub's website, by the way) and randomly ran into Mel (along with her family), who was visiting her brother. Small world syndrome and all that.

Now, all that's left to do this evening is to work out why my amp keeps shorting out. It's normally a bad connection to one of the speakers - but I'll be damned if I can find anything amiss.

Oh, and listen to the They Might Be Giants back catalogue - it finally arrived.
