Party...

We spent all day on preparing for the party: Do all kinds of shopping, make pizza dough, make Champagne Sangria, et cetera. Finally, we were all completely prepared for the arrival of Baril (I dont know how to write that), Meghans friend who had prepared a little Turkish entree buffet... HOWEVER, 15 minutes before Baril was arriving, suddenly the lights switched off. Completely. After fighting with our electric system for a while, we managed to get half of it going again (excluding, unfortunately, my room). So the party could get started!!! After our little entree bits and pieces, our other guests arrived. Unfortunatey, I was bench-bound.

This didnt help much for my party-experience. And I must say that all-in-all it wasnt the party it was supposed to have been... Unfortunately so.
But I had fun and managed to achieve the appropriate amount of drunkenness by the time I went to bed at 4AM.
Today we faced the challenge of having to clean up the mess. And a mess it was! Probably the worst mess we had on any party of ours, so far. But in a well-managed effort of the four of us (including Micky's girlfriend...) we got it done quite quickly. This only left the issue of not having electricity. In half the flat. Finally, after much research we discovered that water apparently invaded the plug of the oven so we got the electricity back online (except for the oven). In another act of Murphy's Law, however, in order to get internet connection during our half-black out I had moved around our internet-machinery. But something must have gone wrong with the already dodgy system, because I finally couldnt get it to work again. So we re-cabled the entire flat and use wire-full internet (as opposed to wireless internet).
Finally, tonight in an act of good luck, we managed to get the oven back online as well! So we could make another bunch of pizzas for tonight and maybe tomorrow morning! Now, I will try and get some sleep before going to see my GP again tomorrow morning...
Ciao,
OJ

OJ, please, if you cannot convince your doctor tomorrow... go to the ER and let them know how good an actor you are. This doesn't seem bearable.
