Back Together Again
Filed Monday, January 9 2006.

Since I first noted the slow disintegration of my cherished possessions, household entropy has continued at a distressing pace, spreading to, apparently, pretty much everything I own.

By now, the list of items that have broken at some point in the last two-and-a-half months includes:

  1. Overhead kitchen light
  2. Shure E4c headphones
  3. External computer monitor
  4. Desk keyboard drawer
  5. Dishwasher
  6. Plasma television
  7. Treo 600
  8. Cordless land-line phone
  9. Folding music stand
  10. Bathtub drain

And though my first attempts at home repair ended rather poorly, today, I think, I finally stemmed the tide. Armed with a slew of hardware store odds and ends, I managed to piece my desk back together, and to clear out my bathtub drain, albeit not without shedding large amounts of sawdust snd chemical-infused water throughout much of my apartment.

With my landlord stopping by tomorrow to fix a few of the remaining items, and with exceedingly kind gifts and hand-me-downs on their way from my parents, friends, and relatives, I should, shortly, be back to square one.

In other words: I'm ready to let the next round of falling apart begin.
