Lots of things seem to be falling apart for no apparent reason. Shortly after getting back from china yesterday, our phone and internet completely died. No dial tone, just static. We keep getting calls but after picking up, we hear static and just hang up again. My small camera also permanently broke.

A nicely cut rock that we got as a gift in china also broke because of the harsh treatment the airport workers put on the luggage. We should have carried it onto the plane. My desktop optical mouse has gone weird too. At first it seemed like the left mouse button was broken, but then I discovered that clicking it normal strength doesn't work anymore, but if I press it hard it still works. I guess I'll just have to adapt on this one...

During the day my brother and I didn't do much. We just played a little video games, played mahjong on the set we brought back, and went to the library all afternoon.

At night we all went on a small walk, and my brother rode his old bike around and tried skidding to stops and sliding. He put a lot of black lines on the ground.
