All the best for the new year.

Where I assume the bits responsible for making the water hot once resided—but then I really have no idea.

Woke up this morning with no hot water, went to work without having showered, came home on my break to sort out what I thought must be a billing problem, and after several calls ended up speaking to the body corporate.

Turns out that last night someone physically stole the mechanical parts of the apartment complex that provide the hot water.  Like, to the entire complex.

Who would do such a thing and why completely eludes me, but there you have it.

Why so pensive?

Probably wondering how on earth he ended up in Hawthorn.

Looks like it might be time for that scheduled service.

What should you do when a light fitting in your apartment starts gushing litres of water?

You know, besides race to remove thousands of dollars of electronics from the area, along with your birth certificate and whatever other important documentation you may have on your desk because you’re in the middle of moving house?

Had this happened just an hour later, it would have been right in the middle of my real estate inspection.  Gold.

Had it happened even later, I may not have even been here to save my stuff.  Poor form, apartment; poor form.

It greatly amuses me that someone thought this to be a good shot for an album cover.  Should it?

My life was not completely fulfilled before I came across this video.  Thanks, Emily.

Wikipedia says that the “mumbled vocals were originally laid down as a rough skit with a view to writing ‘proper’ lyrics later but because many loved what he had recorded, they decided to keep the original version.”  I haven’t decided yet whether this enhances or spoils the experience.
