The elevator is broken. A man walks up the stairs has a heart attack, one of those very sudden ones. He falls down and hits his head and fractures his skull. He dies of the injury, but people say he soon would have died from his heartattack anyway. The elevator is working again.

I heard War of The Worlds, the radio drama by Orson Welles that caused the whole nation to panic in 1938. Impressive, indeed. Almost called in myself to make sure they had all Martians under control. I think the scary thing was that all the characters said and did pretty much what they did on 9/11. Especially the politicians.

Another holiday. Life is shut down. This one really caught me by surprise. How many holy things can possibly happen in 30 days? I kind of thought death and resurrection would do, no?

Alert! The beetles are coming! Seriously there are about 2.000.000 brown beetles flying around the house. Anybody heard of anything like it yet? What can be done? Hitchcock was wrong, it's not the birds after all.

The house is being attacked by large brown beetles, moths, bees, mosquitos and birds. One of the birds flew headon against the window, the glass, I mean. Serves him right, we might think. But now he is flying very low in concentric circles, making clicking noises. I guess it's broken.

Life in Europe is absurd. For one thing, everybody is gay. Except maybe the French, but they've allways seemed kind of effeminate to me. Just look at men's fashion at H&M or simular establishments, that stuff will make Lotte Lenya look like a fag. Then the issue with having laws to prevent stores from staying open past 8pm. Or to be open on Sundays. Unemployment is close to 20% in some places, and they are worried about....overworking people? Or what? Do they assume the same people that are working 5 days now would need to work 24/7 without a break????
*Takes a deep breath*
I'm fine. As long as I stay indoors, listen to books on tape and draw idyllic urban scenarios, I'm just fine. Just don't leave the house without protective gear (sunglasses, headphones, lots of music, your own bottle of water).
