yeap...

Ok im back from the 10 long absence.

Mainly, i've been up to my EARS in work. Courses left and right and STILL got tonnes of paperwork, shop drawings and coordination to attend to.

Plus, i got a new laptop.

OH YEAH. The DELL XPS STUDIO 16. A fucking beauty. And yet, still... very VERY affordable.

And in a sudden twist of unexpected bliss, i just got a RAISE. My income now... is well... QUITE good. Better than i'd expected it to be. However, I only found out AFTER i had ordered my bloody laptop, which means that i couldve bought an even BETTER one, bcos the raise would've altered my budget, no?

And mom dropped the bomb.

This wednesday... my MOM... will go out with her friends... and go... DRINKING.

Oh yeah. Jasper dropped his spoon, Oliver choked, Dad's jaw dropped that his beard almost ended in the soup. I dunno what I was doing, but im pretty sure i looked con-fucking-fused. Never had lunch been so TENSE.

But it was only during dinner that mom finally cleared things up. They were going out TEA-DRINKING.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY... ... ... ... ... ...

Oliver has become a pretty good guitar player. Some time after dinner, mom forced him to play. And of course, he had to play the one song that EVERYONE in the house can sing.

Oh yeah... HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

And everyone was singing it. Jasper was singing it as he watched Man-U thrash some unknown club. Dad was singing it as he surfed the net. Mom was singing it as she washed the dishes. The whole house broke into a fucking medley, which i wish i had recorded, of course.

He's learning Dont Look Back in Anger by Oasis - the most OWNAGE rock song ever. Shit like that never gets old.

In the meantime... im still counting my days til the laptop arrives. Damnit...

song of the day is "Dont Look Back in Anger" by Oasis... as expected...
