boredom/madness

some day this turned out to be...
God up there is a cosmic joker...if stuff has to go wrong, it will, in bunches.
First my temp roomate leaves (nothing wrong there) just tht there wasnt anybody to make even small talk with. So after much contemplating i decide to visit the mall, Best buy specifically.
Therefore with no rhyme or reason I catch buses to get to the mall. On my walk to the bus depot I really regret not bringing my camera along as this would have been a good time to play with it a lil more and get some 'ppl shots'. At the mall I wander aimlessly for an hour and then i cant take all the urges inside me begging me to buy stuff tht i will never need (at best buy)..but surprisingly i fight them off and come out empty handed (trust me its a feat in itself).
Catch some random bus, which takes the longest route possible, back to the depot in downtown. When i reach there i decide tht i should have a look in the camera shop nearby and finally satan has his way. I end up buying a polarizing filter which i wouldnt be able to use anyway for another two weeks, when my lens adapter shows up.
I then wait in the sweltering heat for the bus home.. get home and get the shocker...no electricity...all huffy and puffy i go to the landlords on-site office who calmly tells me tht i shouldve activated the account on my name while moving in (stuff u learn living on ur own) and all this while i had been living off the previous lessee's electric. Wanted to shoot myself...why god why...the elctric wont show up until tomorrow morning or evening...I couldnt bear the heat or the absence of my laptops power..packed up, headed to uni and wasted enough time online until dinner.
Had dinner and now im sitting in my old apartment (which i have to return tomorrow and one which i wouldve preferred never returning to) with nothing but a mattress (but atleast theres electricity here)...oh how we have been spoilt by the modern times!
On the slightly bright side...Dallas in two days!

Man, whatever you do, never EVER say, "It can't get worse than this," experiance shows that it can and will.
Polarising filter huh? You really into this aren't you?
IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOUR ELECTRICITY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
I say, slap the landlord with a chair.
