Something really fucking weird happened this morning... infact, some really fucking weird things have been happening in this house for a few days, now. A week or two ago, i was wrestling with my Dad in the front room (i may be 21 and he may be 51 but it just goes to show we're still pre-teens at heart) and took my watch off, threw it on the chair. That was the last i saw of it, it just vanished - we had all the chairs out, every room searched, and came up with nothing. Then today, it showed up... underneath my bed, right in the fucking middle so that everytime i moved the bed out to put the covers down the side it wasnt quite out far enough to see it. Something else went missing yesterday but i'm obviously an Alzheimers sufferer at heart because i cant remember for the life of me what it was.
Anyway, the strange event that occured today happened when i was getting ready to bike to work... because flies are attracted to my eyeballs like a fly to a turd, i always have to wear sunglasses to prevent myself from being blinded, no matter what the weather is doing (meaning on certain days i have to ride through the streets in the pouring rain with shades on, feeling a proper fool) and today my particular favourites had a big smudge that my sleeve wasnt removing, so i decided to wash it under the tap. So i do, then go to wipe the wet lense... and discover that the OTHER lens has suddenly disappeared!! I know for a fact it was in the frame seconds before i put the glasses under the tap cos i'd put them on to see if the smudge was still there, and yet when we emptied the sink and emptied the washing up bowl there was nothing there. It has just vanished from the face of the planet!! I mean, i've heard of one sock going missing from a pair before but this is surely the first ever time that it's happened to a lens. It's just baffling. It'll probably turn up next week in a pie or something, like false nails do.
Something i discovered about myself today is that i am a complete and utter, irredeemably wimpish wimp. I bought Doom 3 yesterday (well, technically i bought it a week ago... but the stupid lady behind the counter gave me the PC version rather than the Xbox without me realising so i had to change it, and they charged me!) So i just gave it a quick spin and it isa absolutely bloody terrifying. And i havn't even gotten to any really scary bits - all i've seen is the bloke standing next to me get possessed and someone start shooting at me from a doorway and i turned it off. I feel this really is a game that needs teh good old Paul-And-Matt combo to REALLY enjoy the experience, in as un-terrifying a way as possible. Like when we played Resident Evil 2 all the way through together, and Matt - having already completed it and being familiar with what happens - kept running out of the room everytime he knew a scary bit was coming, leaving me shitting myself.
I hope we have a more successfull time than when we played Halo 2 last week, though. We played it on two-player, for two and a half hours, and were mere MINUTES away from the finale when an unforseen enemy brought our quest to a swift end... that is, i rested my foot on my leg and accidentaly kicked the 'open' mechanism on the front of my Xbox. Whoops.
