Of foods of dubious origin and times of uplifting humour

What a strange title?! And how fitting it was for such a strange day! Yesterday was perhaps one of the most "not my day" type of days I've had in a long while, yet at the same time not a bad day!

Beginning in church where I was at the crux of horrible feedback and terrible team management, where for some weird reason neither the band nor the sound team (i.e. my team) seems to know what they are doing, it was truly God's grace that everything did not come to a crashing halt. By some freak occurence the church had only one workable speaker for about one and a half hours, and in the end was only because by some freak occurence that it was actually just electronically compressed (in other words switched off for those who don't know technical speech).

Sound problems not withstanding, immediately after the feedback fiasco came the 'left-alicya-behind' incident. Yes, I left one of my passengers behind after church to my own utter surprise and embarassment. Oh she was gracious about it, but I can't help but dread what she was really thinking... That was quite dumb.

Just to add insult to injury, SS and I was almost late for J's surprise. Funny that on this particular day there was not a single parking spot to be had in and around Carlton Gardens. Of course, we were ALMOST late, so at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been...

By evening, things were looking slightly more better, though the lack of sleep from the night before was now taking its toll. Drowsiness, coupled with the events of the day, made for a really anti-social recluse who only wanted to play Winning Eleven. That was indeed what I ended up doing, and was late for J's dinner.

There was a somewhat dubious event that sort of sugar-coated an amusingly weird day. The Fall that Almost Fallen on me. I shall say no more lest I harm some poor person's dignity and honour, but let's just say I 'handled' the situation as well as I could have....
