Mito's black hole

my apartment seems to be the place to loose things.

i have lost an uncountable number of socks, we have lost the house keys soo many times, i never know where the aircon remote it, but the worst one so far is that we lost the cover for the "strictly ballroom" video that we hired from the video shop.

i have tried to trace our movements back to the day we borrowed it on thursday last week. we noticed the cover was gone on monday so that narrows it down to thursday evening to sunday evening.

we have turned the house upsidedown, looked in every cupboard, under every cushion, behind the tv and in the fridge. it is nowhere to be found.

i even emailed my friend who stayed over on friday night to see if he had taken it home in his bedding by accident (we are running short on sheets and blankets cause it is so cold, so anyone who come sto stay has to bring their own...)

the only explination could be that it went out in the rubbish on friday, the day after we hired it.

today was the day the movie was due back. i rushed down to the shop on the way to work, hoping to get there in time that i could just put it in the returns shoot and never look back. but i was too late. the store was open and i had to go inside...

i kept my cool, trying to pretend that nothing was wrong. trying to pretend that there never was a cover on it...

and it worked! after all that worrying, the counter guy didnt say a thing and i walked out as quickly as possible, worrying all the way to work that any moment someone was going to chase after me and ask me where the cover was.

i am safe for now. but maybe we will stop borrowing videos from that shop just in case. you never know when these kinds of things will come back to haunt you.
