grmml noisy police ...

... and medics ... and firefighters ...

All of those were outside my door about half an hour ago. As it turned out, the woman who helped the old lady next door clean her place was worried because she hadn't opened the door, so she called the police. They were about to open the door when the old lady's son arrived with a key. So no destroying the lock. At that point the son also told everyone that he'd reported his mother as dead yesterday.
That's the old lady who occasionally visited me, borrowed the phone, and who I did the shopping for a few times.
I'm not too surprised really though. Her cleaner told me like 2 weeks ago that she was worried about her, because she was very sick and spending all her time in bed and in pain, but refused to see a doctor because she didn't have health insurance.
Anyway, I thought she was getting better, because a few days ago she was at least walking around her place again. She'd put a note on my door and asked me to do some shopping for her ...

... Guess I was wrong ...

What the FUCK is wrong with me ?

Ever since I saw moldy bread in the canteen when I was in the army, I've been very careful about eating bread.
Or so I thought.
I just finished breakfast, and not only did I not check the expiry on the bread in advance (which is today, as it turns out), I also didn't take a close look at the bread, and only randomly noticed the mold on the last slice after eating all the other (6ish) ones. So now I can only assume I didn't eat any moldy bread, because I probably would've noticed it on the other slices, or it might've smelled funny when I toasted them. But just the thought makes my stomach all uneasy ... |:

Thanks for trying, Acog. I appreciate it ...

One of my favourite anime series is Wolf's Rain. I bought the whole series on 8 DVDs last year, or possibly even the year before that, I don't quite remember. Interestingly, each DVD was released in 2 different versions, regular (transparent Amaray case) and (originally) slightly more expensive Digipack version. I bought the cheaper Amaray ones.
Now, each DVD came with a coupon. If you collected all of them and sent them in, you were promised a collector's edition box to put your DVDs in. It was basically a cardboard box to hold all 8 DVD cases.

Around October last year, I finally decided to send them in (I also had coupons for Noir cels, so I sent those along). I got the Noir cels a few days later, but no box. Around a month later, I sent them an e-Mail and asked about the delay, and was informed that all the coupons had been processed. So, no box for me then I thought.

( Well, wrong. Because today, I had this in the mail ... )

Looks cool and all, except that I think this box is supposed to be used for the Digipack DVDs, not the Amaray ones. Because I'd have to remove the DVDs from the cases and put them in there, instead of just putting the cases in a box. So now I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have one set of DVDs, and 2 sets of cool cases to put them in. What to do, what to do?!

whoa ...

I tried taking a picture of a moth that tried getting into my room.
Ironically, it got caught in a spiderweb while I was watching, and before I managed to get a good picture in.
Even worse, it managed to escape the web before the spider arrived, and before I could run out onto the balcony to make a picture of it being eaten.

So, instead, you're getting a picture of a spider, in front of my window, sitting in a semi-destroyed web ...

*shurgs* Some find them disgusting, I find them fascinating ...
