I am unable to run a household

Posted Jul 2, 2000

OK, so after months of funny smells we finally get that fridge fixed. What happens next? The neon lamp in the bathroom starts to act like a disco and the drain of the bathroom sink is clogged up with I don't care to know what. What next? Mice? A power failure? How about a big fat crack opening up in the floor?
Man, I'm so glad I'm out of here in two weeks.

I'm not a Bob Dylan person, normally. (This doesn't come as such a big surprise from a 20 year old, now does it.)
On most occasions, I wholeheartedly agree with Max Goldt's judgement:
'Krächz krächz, klampf klampf, keine zarten Geheimnisse, dazu hässlich wie die Nacht.'
Why is it, then, that on nights like these I simply cannot restrain myself from playing the only Bob Dylan tape I own over and over again?
My adorable sister, who knows much more on this subject, compiled it for me. I don't know most of the titles (I could just about identify 'Masters of War'); I don't understand the larger part of the lyrics. The sound quality is extremely poor.
I am at this moment rewinding the tape for the third time in a row.
I blame it on my childhood. I was brought up on a strange mixture of Neil Young, the Stones, Lou Reed, and, there you have it, Bob Dylan.
I spent the first 15 years loathing that whining voice. Am I just know discovering Bob Dylan's true qualities? Or is there some Freudian thing involved?
Well, well, who knows... just tell me where it hurts... and I'll tell you who to call...

What the f***'s the matter with this thing? I just get offline for a minute to order a pizza. Then, as I come back, it doesn't recognise me any more, no matter what I try. I try again and again, and after half an hour or so, hey presto! No problem! Here we are on my homepage! So I hop off to the front page. Where the first thing it tells me is that I should register as soon as possible.
God, this Internet thing, I knew all along that it wouldn't work.

I'm wild again * beguiled again * a whimpering, simpering child again * bewitched, bothered and bewildered * am I
Or am I?
