When the DVD player first arrived in my room, it somehow did not cooperate with the television. It just didn't seem to transfer any data to the television. Hence, it became a white baby elephant while acting as a rest for the PS2 player. And when we felt the urge to watch a DVD, we just hooked up Roommate's laptop to the television. But now (a couple weeks ago actually) that Roommate has left, I was left with movie hangovers.

Then, just 3 hours ago, I fiddled around with the DVD player again. And great, it is now working fine. And the first movie to be screened by the DVD player was the crappy (IMHO) movie Flightplan.

So, the perfectly-fine DVD player was sitting around doing nothing for 8 months. It is true that anything is possible, if you are really desperate.

Let me tell you about this guy. He goes to the dining hall, wanting to use the phone. He sees that both phones are being used. He proceeds to write his name on the list. Immediately, he goes over to the guy behind the glass door, raps on the glass, and makes a phone gesture with his hand. But when he uses the phone for longer than the designated 15 minutes, and someone gives him the "rap", he is not happy.

It is no wonder not many people like him.

And let me tell you about this other guy. He is unhappy about something with the planning (which was absolutely flawless), writes a personal and accusing note for the planner and leaves no name at the end. Fine, there have been many complaints so far, but none as cowardly as this. And he has got to be kidding himself if he thinks that this incident is going to be forgotten just like that.

What colourful characters we have here!
