Happy New Year etc
Hello!
I'm afraid that I've not got any particular ethnic group to whinge about today, sorry! It's nearly new years out here, and whilst everyone in England seems certain to spend it indoors, shivering, whilst the house is being lashed by gale force winds, I'll be doing....well....not a great deal. Possibly having a few drinks and seeing a gig or something. I'm not a big fan of the whole new years thing. It's a pretty pointless celebration, right? All we're doing is celebrating the addition of a digit to an arbitrary calendar system, and noting the fact that the Earth has completed one more lap of the Sun and is therefore one lap closer to it's inevitable destruction when the Sun goes pop. I just despise enforced jollity, I often find it brings out my inner bastard.
We've been in our hostel almost a month, now, and it's getting a bit much to bear. There's 4 guys in a room not a great deal bigger than a bathroom, the window opens exactly 1 inch, and the room cleaning consists of being woken up every now and then when some bugger bustles into the room to empty the bin. Suffice to say, the room is beginning to pong. This is thanks in no small part to our French roommate (who has an unpronouncable name, and thus is referred to as "pierre"). He seems to take the French disregard to hygiene to new levels, and presumable considers showers to be something that should be taken in concordance with a solar eclipse. Perhaps he's a druid, who knows? What I do know is that the man's musk is probably attracting polar bears even as we speak, and that my life is no doubt in great danger. To rub salt into this, the hostel prices are being raised in a few weeks, and as such I'll be being charged over 50 fecking quid a week to live in a something the size (and smell) of a shoebox. We really need to find a flat. Especially as we now have a copy of SNES Street Fighter 2, but no SNES and no TV to play it on. Franly, I don't care, as I've finally got something I can consistantly whip Morgan's ass at.
Wacky Crimbo and a Zany New year, everyone!
