TV is on. Somewhere. Monotonous monologue in Russian. Tonight the noise is a friend, reminding that there is life outside my dark bedroom. Nothing much worked today. VPN problems, Wifi problems, scanner / printer problems, as also phones / sims / roaming as well as credit cards have caused problems lately I am sensing a conspiracy here; technology is turning against me. Only Wii console is still providing its usable services. I tried to relax with MarioKart; no avail, victory is not upon me on this day, lost 200 points in no time to lesser warriors. Fuse burned as well to stop Wii session, used mobile phone to orienteer through my two safety doors to corridor to pull swiches in the fuse box. Light back on, but safer to hide in the bedroom. Security lady started in the renovated corridor today, or a cockroach killer. It's too early summer for cockroaches to climb to the sixth floor. And they can't use the new lift. All I see is their antennas and stains on the stairs; cockroches don't like big funeral ceremonies.
