I had a rampant cycle for an hour yesterday whilst watching the new Star Trek film. It's actually not bad, and I say that as a man who thinks Star Trek is utter tripe. I attribute the film being alright to the fact that is directed by J.J. Abrahams, who is a wizard behind a camera. You may have heard of him from Lost, Fringe or Alias, all of which I thoroughly enjoy with aplomb. Après cycle I had a bath and, as per usual, had an earful of Talksport on the charming little DAB radio I have positioned on the porcelain cistern cover (or the lid on the back of the toilet box, between you and me).
Once out of the bath I had a bloody good rub down and applied E45 sparingly to my face. Then I put on some red tartan PJ bottoms and went about my business. This business was to give the computer a dam fine hovering in order to remove dust from the various assorted bits that were causing it to be very loud when on. It had, quite honestly, become far too intrusive a noise for me to take any more of and I simply had to take measures. I turned the computer off, unplugged all the peripheries and transported the pay load down to the bottom of the stairs. It was then that the vacuum was plugged in and I was able to focus all of the sucky power of the nozzle directly onto, and inside, the apparatus. I paid particular attention to the areas housing the fan which had become encrusted with dusty detritus.
Once fully sated with the job I packed away the vacuum, put the workstation back together and located back to the spare room. The peripheries were reintroduced to the system and the power was switched on with an air of anticipation. Ah, my jobby had worked, the computer was whirring away (once more) at a more than acceptable level of noise pollution. This was a job well done, to be sure. To celebrate such a magnificent achievement I had a couple of glasses of wine, played a bit of darts, checked on a couple of ebay sales and had a few games of Mario Kart online.
Bed was taken at 12.10am and I was asleep fairly rapidly for I was quite tired, you see.
