h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Interesting developments over the last couple of days. The first thing that happened was my flatmate's brain explosion yesterday about the fact that he was cold, and blamed me for not doing enough to see that he wasn't. I made no response - I didn't want to make him any more angry than he was anyway, and it wouldn't have made the points I had to make in return any easier for him to accept - but if the opportunity arises, he's gonna get an earful, and I'm not planning on changing my behaviour to suit his comfort. My patience with his discomfort has almost exhausted itself, but I am still trying hard to restrain my own anger. He's not speaking to me, but he's not abusing me either, so he might be getting the message he needs to understand, but then again he might just be trying hard not to make a fool of himself, which is what he effectively did yesterday.

As if to do justice to my restraint, the weather has been less cold and miserable today than it has been for most of the week - sunny, windless, beautiful really. I'm still not tempted to actually do much, though, so I've spent most of the day washing clothes.

This afternoon has been spent writing, reading and listening to the radio, and as the sun shines through the window on to my desk it has been very pleasant. I'm sort of keen to get onto the web, but the chance will be better tonight, after everyone else in the country is well asleep. I have to get on and look up a couple of jobs that were advertised in Saturday's papers, and download application forms. Strange that this method of application now seems so popular, especially as the people who expect applications to result from such methods of advertisement are also disinclined to read résumés on the which are also on the web, as the job section in Saturday's Sydney Morning Herald indicated.

I feel tired, and lazy - very Sunday afternoonish, I think...
