Lights Out

The light in our bathroom went out about a week ago. In a normal world, this wouldn't merit my first blog post in a month. But as we all know, this aint no normal world, son. For one, it's not a normal light bulb, it's a florescent. For two, we live in Hong Kong and none of us have any idea where to get a florescent bulb. More significantly, however, is that my roommates and I all still live by a certain code that I like to call, "Mom Will Take Care Of It."

Allow me to explain. Even though I've been out of college for 2 years and have been living away from home since 2004 (the same can be said for my roommates), I still operate under the assumption that my mom will just take care of it. About 5 days ago, it was a little stuffy in our living room, so I opened a window. This morning, I noticed that the window was still open. It's rained 3 times since I opened it. Why didn't anyone close it? Because we all assumed that our mom would close it. All my life, if I opened a window, someone (mom) would eventually walk by, notice the open window, and close it. I never had to do it myself. See, my mom understood that no one else would take care of it. Not me. Not my roommates. Someone else will take care of the light in the bathroom, right?

In the meantime, I've written a song that I sometimes sing to myself at night in our dark bathroom:

Poopin' in the dark
Poopin' in the dark
Can't see a thing
Cause I'm poopin' in the dark
What if I miss?
I won't be able to see
Poopin' in the dark
Is a little risky

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

*****UPDATE SUNDAY MARCH 21*****
We took care of it!
