Last weekend I planned on working the entire weekend. The plan was to work non-stop for three days so that I could catch up on everything.. taking cat naps on the beanbag chair in my office so I can keep going.
Fabulous plan.
Worked through the night on Thursday and went home to New Jersey late Friday afternoon to change and bring clothes back to the office.
When I got home the first thing I saw was the living room air conditioner, the unit that keeps my room cool, upside down on the sofa. The first thing in my head was "What are my roommates up to?" Then I noticed that my bedroom door was ripped open and the lock broken.
"Oh shit.. they broke in again." Was the next thing to cross my mind. After this revelation, nothing else surprised me. This very same thing had happened about 7 months ago. They had taken my PlayStation 2 and all of my games and my DVD player. A total of about $1000 worth of stuff. They also left my roommates belongings untouched. My one roommate had his bedroom door unlocked and yet his Apple laptop was still sitting on his bed and all of his other electronics were also untouched.
This is the second time this same exact thing has happened. PlayStation and all games stolen.. nothing else gone in the house. And if you know anything about my house you will know that anyone that breaks into my room and not my roommates' knows exactly where they are going.. my room in the least accessible in the house.
So now it is painfully obvious that I have some kind of criminal stalker in the neighborhood.. and he/she likes to play computer games. Being that my own personal-favorite, prime-suspect is an obnoxious upstairs neighbor that I can hear through an air vent saying mean and nasty things about the "maricón" downstairs, I treated him to three full days of painfully loud dance music on my too cheap to steal yet really freaking powerful stereo system. I was so intent to pay these bitches back that I even slept for two nights in my room with the stereo going full blast. (Didn't really get a good nights sleep.. but that'll show 'em.)
Whatever.. I just will not buy nice things for a while.. until I really feel like I need to move into the city with a doorman building and no easy access for PlayStation abduction.
I also took this as a sign to stop having virtual fun and have some real life fun. Stop traveling the world and having adventures in a high resolution game with amazing graphics.. and actually live out my dream of actually going somewhere where reality will bring me better resolution, better graphics.. and no doubt, much better adventures.
