I guarantee you'll not go hungry, cause at the end of the day, as long as there are two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead.

Arrived home, dumped my jacket, then threw myself at the computer.
I see someone's buried my monthly account statement from the bank, under some post-it note stacks and random receipts from Big W and Woolorths. From within the envelope, reveals a statement unusually long from the usual ones. Out of nowhere, comes this spark of odd thought which I soon committed myself to. It was to cross-check and confirm every transaction made within the time period stated on the paper. There was no particular reason, no motivation required, nor did anyone lecture me to do it. Maybe it was just.. autonomous. Maybe something from deep within suddenly decided to do something productive. Maybe it was the transactions on the record showing "PAYPAL AUSTRALIA" on every single one of them, except for one, to Valve. OR MAYBE... My brain could no longer stand being unused since the summer holidays started, and wanted to at least do something that required even a minor watt of brainpower. And so, I checked all the transactions off, learned something - that PayPal's logged date is a day behind the logged dates on my bank statement - which is surprisingly more useful than you'd expect. After that, followed half an hour of the new(well, to me) episode of the Big Bang theory on the telly. During which I had my Singaporean noodle takeaway. It's really good, except now my hands smell like them. I'm off to wash them now.
