oh god damnit!
Working on that Matrix paper, got my rented Matrix DVD here, and I go to throw it into the Xbox and look through it for the scenes I need. It's so convenient having that in here, having a TV and an Xbox and the DVD playback kit for the Xbox (the one that's absolutely necessary for playing DVDs in an Xbox because the pads won't work the DVD menus), having all that here in my room with my desk and my computer, because that way I can use the DVD and write my paper on the computer.
But wait, what's this? No remote?
Looks like somebody lifted my Xbox remote and the little IR reciever that plugs into the system during the party last night. Can't play DVDs in the Xbox anymore, because somebody's an asshole.
So now I have to walk up and down the stairs all night. Watch what I need to in Matrix on the house player on the first floor, take whatever notes I need, then walk up two flights to my room and write what I need on the computer, then go back downstairs for more, repeat repeat repeat. Unbelievably inconvenient.
On top of that, my Xbox is what I use for my personal DVD player when I'm living with the family. So when I move back, I'll need to get another remote or something, because that's my DVD player.
What the hell is wrong with people? Why do they keep stealing our shit? They're here, having fun, the beer is cheap, why are they taking our stuff on top of all that?
I'm not sure what to do to keep this from happening again. We watch the house as best we can when we have these parties, but we can't be everywhere and see everything all the time. Besides, we're throwing a party. We don't want to just watch our stuff at our own parties, we want to PARTY. So we take the valuable stuff, the potential targets, and we shut them in our rooms maybe? But my door's been shut both times my shit got stolen. So maybe locking our rooms? But the lock is on the inside, one of those button locks, and there isn't a key for the other side of the knob. We could lock ourselves out of our rooms, I guess. But that's retarded. We could stop having parties, maybe, but that seems retarded too... I really don't want to say "no more parties here, too much of our stuff has been stolen!" Especially since the only parties I get to are the ones we throw. It's not like people are passing me invites to other shit. Like, ever.
Oh, and it looks like my car blew a break line today, and it's a little unsafe to drive without brakes.
I suppose that, instead of nut cancer, this is my balance. More shit stolen and a genuinely busted car.
God damnit...
