Nasty House Gnome

You know when you have one of those days when a nasty house gnome visits and makes all your stuff disappear? He was visiting today. My headphones totally disappeared. Walking in and around the house with wire headphones was not an option as they were getting stuck behind things and getting yanked out of my ears. The phone fell to the ground for the umpteenth time and totally smashed my already fractured screen. I needed those fucking headphones. I looked everywhere.

I only realized I was being visited by the nasty house gnome when I wrote down some important points for a phone conversation on a little piece of paper and placed it to my left, only to discover it wasn't there when I started the conversation. Nasty gnome laughing in his nasty fist.

I needed the note and I couldn’t stand not finding my headphones so I continued to look, now for both of them. Getting more agitated in a dark energetic frequency by the minute.

I turned a glass upside down and threw a kitchen towel over my left shoulder and had I have known other superstitious techniques I would’ve used them all, but then I remembered that the only thing that works, is doing something completely different, so I did.

A couple of days ago the smart house speakers stopped working. I called the audio guy and he walked me through it on the phone and while talking to him and reading him all this shit on the receiver, he had this great idea: “Unplug the receiver and put it back in after a couple of seconds”. Brilliant guy. So I did. It worked. Of course.

Nice music sounded through the house, my frequency changed a bit and off I went for one more headphones search everywhere. I found some weird stuff in my youngest' bathroom drawer; the whisk we lost ages ago with some almost unrecognisable dough. Both of them with interesting mould patterns. Maybe the house gnome and my 10 year old were in this together. That totally changed my mood, because it was so disgusting it was funny.

After I really ‘unplugged’ and after really changing the frequency, I could almost see the nasty house gnome putting them right there, underneath a neatly rolled up yoga belt in the studio; my headphones.
