things seem to be breaking down around me lately.

* the other day on my way home from work the oil lamp was lit in the saab when i was braking. it turned off again after a few seconds, but since then it's been lit every time i brake at that particular place. i've tried braking hard at other places, and the lamp has only been lit once, but right before the turn to långsele it's always bright red for a few seconds... spooky. i hope. i much prefer a spooky explanation than a logical explanation when it comes to cars and red lamps.

* yesterday the computer system we use at work broke down completely for several hours. we had to make notes in word and try to do as much as possible today instead.

* this morning i found a message from tommy on my mobile phone. apparently he'd been trying to phone me all night yesterday, and i hadn't heard a single signal. when i came to think about it i haven't used the phone once since i came home saturday, and noone has phoned here. so when i came home from work i looked at them, and they were all dead. i pulled the outlets a few times, as there's really not much to do with a dead phone i guess... there are no buttons to press or anything. after a while the reserve phone started working, and one of the wireless works for a while and then it cuts off. weird. but it's been very nice not having any phone calls the entire week. i don't like phones very much.

* just now the washing machine started making funny (or maybe un-funny would be more correct) sounds. and there's a small puddle of pale blue water growing under it. that's not good, i guess?

* i'm slightly broken myself, after a marathon phone call. i talked to a friend that i've been meaning to call for ages but never gotten around to. i talked til the wireless died, and then i called back on the reserve phone. so now my elbows hurt (from having been bent for so long, holding the phone) and my ears are feeling fuzzy (from the loud background sound in the reserve phone. it's so loud it's not really a background sound at all, it's the talking that becomes the background).  ¶ 8:39 PM
